      Mark Robinson do something effective? I suppose there’s a first time for everything, but the odds aren’t great…

        For a long time there was a "Has Transmission Gully opened yet?" Twitter account. It might be a daily question about whether Ian Foster has resigned yet...

          The fans get a say when they actually do something instead of moan on the internet and talk radio.

            Boycotts. NZRU only sees one result these days: $$$.

            But it will never happen because kiwis are too laid-back and/or think it's unpatriotic or something. Despite the fact we will happily bandwagon sports we start doing well in. Think of this as the reverse of that.

                I think he will walk. Won’t happen today, it needs to be planned with assistants as he’s basically doing them out of a job as well.
                Also requires his employer to get replacements organized.
                If this happens it has to be Razor unless it is clear that Schmidt only wants the job short term. Otherwise Razor goes and another country gets to lift their game enough to beat us. Our exports are killing us.

                    Not me. If they play like this they’re not my team. I’d rather watch club rugby.

                      He won’t go. No way.

                      Food for thought …. Records there to be broken. Is the current Irish team good enough to be on this list?

                          @Duluth said in Foster must go:

                          The realistic option is Schmidt

                          He starts his AB contract right now. So no other logistics needed.

                          Does he want a head coach role though?

                          @Duluth I know you can't answer that but I'm not convinced he wants a head coach role, so we are either stuck with Foster or we go to Razor with Schmidt taking the reigns short term. I'd love for Schimidt to take over for what it's worth.

                            Our attack being poor is a fairly new phenomenon tbf.

                            But we do look like we run out of ideas fairly quickly.

                            There is so much wrong in this side at the moment. Even their haircuts are shit

                                  All Blacks were a disgrace in that first half
                                  Never thought I’d witness them being booed from the field, but that’s exactly what happened as they headed underneath us into the tunnel at half time.

                                  All the ABs could do was kick the fucking ball away, or pass the ball to someone standing flat footed.

                                  We play slow, predictable, stodgy rugby.

                                  Worst All Blacks Coach in my lifetime!

                                    @Kirwan you'd have to think if Foster has any self awareness he must be considering if he can continue?

                                    It must be massively stressful for him and his family, didn't Henry's wife talk about the shit they went through.

                                    I feel for him in a way, circumstances saw him raised above his station, I can understand he thought he had it in him, and convinced other he had it in him, evidence now says the opposite, no shame in him accepting that and stepping down...unless he isn't considering it...

                                        @Kirwan said in Foster must go:

                                        Stafford shitstirring, or is there a press conference?

                                        Probably will end being a Press conference to reassure the public they and Foster have everything under control, and it is all another learning curve under this coaching regime.We should all calm down and trust Foster and the NZR as they know better
                                        If there is even a press conference.

                                          @Kirwan you'd have to think if Foster has any self awareness he must be considering if he can continue?

                                          It must be massively stressful for him and his family, didn't Henry's wife talk about the shit they went through.

                                          I feel for him in a way, circumstances saw him raised above his station, I can understand he thought he had it in him, and convinced other he had it in him, evidence now says the opposite, no shame in him accepting that and stepping down...unless he isn't considering it...

                                          @taniwharugby Agree.

                                          But if Foster thinks this is bad, after another couple of losses it will just get worse. If we go into the RWC with the current track record then worse still.

                                          So either he thinks he can fix it, and all will come right, or he will resign. I'm betting, judging on his previous history, that he thinks he can fix it.

                                          Whether NZ Rugby tell him otherwise, who knows?
