Complete clean out apparently .
There has to be. Scott Hansen's coaching is dreadful. Ryan's forwards selections are incomprehensible. Ellison's defence is non-existent.

According to sources Jamie Joseph was seen in Wellington earlier in the week.

Damn it. Sigh
any news over there on Tony Brown?
Just heard he's changed his name to Tony Black
Growing the hair out again too. Lets party.

Unless Brown had a special clause written into his contract, SA would be bonkers to let him go, surely?
If he wanted to go, I’m sure they would let him. It’s no good having a coach who doesn’t want to be there. The IP cuts both ways

I'll never forget Hansens first interview with Bryn, Parsons and Karl on the Aotearoa pod when he got the gig.
A few of us said it on here before a ball had been kicked. Spoofer.

@W32 although you'd have to think he is enjoying his role currently, so probably isnt that simple....obviously IF JJ is to be the AB coach, we know that those 2 have worked together and want to do so...didnt Brown turn down Fozzie, stating he only wanted to coach the ABs with JJ?
If he does, Brown gots to love a challenge, cos there is a mountain to climb for the ABS

Foster selected BB at 10, and was absolutely getting fired until he made the change and shifted him out for good.
Razor put BB back at 10, kept him there, and now has been fired.
New coach better look at patterns
Rumour has it even BB was scathing in his review of that decision.
All BB wants at this age is a big pay cheque, little minutes, and the perks that come with being an AB.
You know him do you Canes?? You certainly seem too if you know what his ambitions are.
It’s tongue in cheek mate.

You can blame NZR for that. Can't blame Robertson for wanting the gig but the lack of critical thinking on NZR's part was staggering.
Exactly.
The appointment should never have been made in the first place.
Reeks of institutional complacency.
Current move should go some distance to sorting that as well. -
Imagine if Razor ends up coaching England and Sotutu wins him a World Cup… oh how the world works.

I've gone from not caring about the next ABs game because the same old shit is going to get trotted out, to being excited again. Fuck yeah David Kirk.
Yep, last year must have been the first AB's northern hemisphere tour that I just didn't care in the slightest about. Which was scary.
Back in business.

Yeah you would have to think he’s enjoying the success of the boks and him having a part in it. But, he's a kiwi and his heart will be in NZ with the ABs as it should be.
Game on, the quarter final of the next WC is going to be unreal
