Been said earlier in the thread, but well played with sharing the oil!
Some others too who joined in (@handa457 and @Landers92 and @Chris and who am I missing?), brilliant work to you all for just kindly sharing what you've heard.Big shout out to @Nogusta that the oil on Papalii that has finally been confirmed
I didn't want to share what happened between DP and AB management but I think everyone can get the gist of it.
It was a MAJOR factor in terms of the disharmony in the squad this year with a LOT of the team really put off by what happened. -
Getting Tony Brown in would be great with the impending tour of South Africa looming.
We can get inside intel on tactics and he can tell us where the Springboks get the best "hot sauce".
Flash Forward to June 2026 when a 120kg 6ft 5 Cam Roigard runs a Bronco in 90 seconds with a 10kg weight vest on.

Ok so this what I have amongst all the rumours etc take it for what it is.
The Board is being presented the Review findings today.
Razor has not officially been sacked yet the Board has to vote on it.
Probably will happen as the Board normally goes with the recommendation's from the Review.
Razor has asked to present to the board before any final decisions are made.
From a good source but there is many different stories out there.Good luck to him. With the press and SM now in overdrive he's a dead man walking.
Shit first 2026 squad selection and the noise will ramp up.
First loss and it'll resurface.
First bad loss and it'll be deafening. Then NZR will look like fools for not acting earlier.

So NZR pretend to not hire Joseph and Brown, send them overseas like little Trojan horses, then bring them back just before the RWC with all this secret other team knowledge and install them as RWC AB coaches? Brilliant. Had us all fooled.

No doubt he should just walk he will not turn this around time to move with dignity.

And Tony will know which dish Suzie will be adding extra 'flavours' to at the next RWC..

"Scott Robertson has departed as Head Coach of the All Blacks. We wish Razor all the best with his next steps.
A process will commence immediately to recruit a new Head Coach."
So Razor gets cut. I blame the Fern.
Ryan, Hansen? Goneski? Under review?Edit: ok, answered.
-
If Hansen and Ryan are allowed to stay, would they want to? Seemed pretty loyal to Robertson...

Just had this passed on. Unsure if it’s anywhere else yet. It’s the press release going out soon.
Scott Robertson has departed his role as Head Coach of the All Blacks following the completion of the 2025 end of season review.
A process will commence immediately to recruit a new Head Coach.
New Zealand Rugby (NZR) Chair David Kirk said:
“The mid-point in the Rugby World Cup cycle is the right time to look at the All Blacks’ progress over the first two seasons. The team are set to play a significant 2026 schedule and the tournament in 2027 remains the key goal.
“We’ve taken an extensive look at the team’s progress on and off the field and have subsequently had discussions with Scott on the way forward. Both NZR and Scott agree it is in the best interests of the team that he depart his role as Head Coach.”
Kirk acknowledged Robertson’s contribution to the All Blacks across a long period of time.
“On behalf of New Zealand Rugby I would like to thank Scott for his contribution to the All Blacks. As always, he has continued to put the All Blacks first and we respect that he has done the hard but right thing in agreeing to depart.
“His passion for the team as both a player and coach is evident and his commitment to and involvement in rugby in New Zealand at every level over a long period is significant. We wish him well for the future.”
NZR will now commence the All Blacks’ Head Coach recruitment process immediately and will provide an update in the coming days.
The All Blacks are scheduled to play next in three July Nations Championship matches in New Zealand.
