To Europe hopefully where the standard of the game is tougher than the rugby in Japan.

So might be off topic but where does Razor go if he's sacked? Japan? Another international team?

Is there an actual presser/news release due from NZR tomorrow?
Yes it came out on Monday, quoting the end of year review will be released on Thursday .
Unless it has all changed since Monday.A source I chat to occasionally insists no such media release exists.

@SouthernMann said in All Blacks 2026:
When was the last time we had an interim coaching group for the national team?
A recruitment process is long and difficult.
Could we see an interim group in place for our biggest tour in decades?
Never? I can't ever recall an ABs HC being let go. Another first for Razor?

Imagine how Hoss will feel if Razor and Ryan go coach England.

Perhaps name them - there were a fair few non Crusaders who in my view (this season) put in great shifts.

If Robertson has got the chop, it's possible they'll do a version of what they did with Foster - announce he stays on but a new coach will take over before August for the SA series.
Utterly dumb idea, but then again, this is NZR managing the AB coaching gig......

No wonder NZ Rugby is in such a mess when senior dudes can't even do the basics like treating their employees with respect. What a shit-show
The 21st century work place is so f'n huggy, you'd wanna be careful even using "firm" words to a co-employee.
NZR HQ will be no different, the office politics will be the same as everywhere.
Leaking something anonymously to the public in what is a very high-profile (NZ) business is probably about the only nasty course of action on the table.Anthony may have even enjoyed putting his scathing (supposedly) report together, as he walked out the door.
He may have wanted to do something like that for a long time; but couldn't of couse; cant be upsetting anyone!The player employees get treated with kid gloves imo.
Disagree. There's taking a tough approach and treating people with respect - they're not mutually exclusive.

Maybe not a Crusaders virtue.....

Just looked back Devlin mentioned the press release on his podcast All black Review and six nations Predictions he mentions Jan 15th as marked in every Jurnos diary as the day the review will be released to the public.
@zedsdeadbaby maybe your source is not in the know.
Someone showed me the press release on Tuesday the day after he received it on Monday.
So there is 2 sources that mention it.
