I assume they will clear the decks. Only Ryan stands a chance. He worked with Fozzie, so maybe he can just get on with his job

I feel like we need a TLDR - time line - review.
From the beginning of the rumors and talk about the players reviewYou said it was a quiet day at work, go for it
Mate I can’t finish a Fernies I started 3 years ago what makes you think I can compile 1,500 comments here into something that makes sense
Fuck I'll second that, I'm still waiting on my awards.
Back on topic and having read through hundreds of posts on here I really can't believe its come to this, wasn't he supposed to be coaching Jesus after the "horror" of the Fozzie years ?
Gosh life is funny how it works out sometimes.

Razor has officially been sacked
You get some shit on here for not always being on the money (including myself) but you were the first to get the smoke. Well played.

@Canes4life Ditto on that. Even my guys weren't sure as of this morning what the story was with Razor @george33 well done.

The way this reads is the assistants have not been sacked?!?!
They just aren't important enough to post about...yet.

I hope one day we hear as well what the Crusader ABs thought about all this..

@Canes4life Stuff saying no changes to the wider coaching and management group

Statement from Robertson:
Coaching the All Blacks has been the honour of my life. I am incredibly proud of what this team has achieved and of the progress we have made. We have brought through a talented group of young players, strengthened the depth across the squad, and set solid foundations for the years ahead.
Following the end of year review I have taken time to reflect on some of the feedback. My priority has always been the success of the All Blacks and, after discussions with New Zealand Rugby, I believe it is in the best interests of the team for me to step aside.
I have therefore reached an agreement with New Zealand Rugby to end my contract early so a new coaching group has the time it needs to prepare and take the team into the next World Cup.
As you can imagine, I am gutted by this outcome. I care deeply about this team.
Given the sensitivity of this situation I will not be making any further comment.

It would be fascinating to go back and look at people's comments/reaction when Robertson was first announced as the AB coach, to now.
Lots of us were hopeful. But it became clear reasonably early that we had been sold a lemon

Scooter must be touching cloth.
Doesnt even warrant a starting place at the moment.
It could be a massive relief for him, and he may improve as a player if stripped of the captaincy.
