    A little bit sad that some really good/great ABs may be rested/retired after things haven't gone well. I can think of 5-6 forwards.
    AB coach, Captain, players have all tried hard. I'm frustrated with NZR

      Based on their performance over the last few years, with SANZAR dealings, the AB coach search and Silverlake, what makes us think they have a plan B?

      Given their Plan A, I have no interest in following their Plan B.

      You assume they have a Plan A?

        @nzzp and that headline earlier in the week saying Robinson had told Fozzie to resign if he doesnt win in SA...I dont recall any denial this happened.

        Robinson should walk and hold the door for Fozzie.

        And the big elephant in the room is the question: Then what?

        You would hope NZR have done some thinking on this, but I'm not holding my breath.

        @Victor-Meldrew who knows, but the current CEO/Board along with Fozzie are all part of a larger problem.

        I mean NZR should really have put the wheels in motion at half time last week, but you know they will have done Jack shit.

          Maybe they will surprise. I guess we'll find out next week. How exciting!

                That all sounds good until you realise that @MN5 and @mariner4life have already been there for week and there's nothing left that you'd take a second look at.

                        It has been so scattergun post 2019.

                        Robertson overlooked for the gig.

                        Laumape got ran out of town.

                        Sowakula. Capped and scrapped. Jacobsen similar.

                        Ennor doing the Hokey Cokey in and out of squads to ride the pine.

                        Clarke goes off to 7's for a year and doesn't get a gig.

                        Papalii utilised on EOYT and played decent enough in Dublin. Not a look in this time.

                        RTS comes on against Ireland at 13. Played all year at 12.

                        Fainganuuku been sent to coventry already.

                        Still really know nothing about Vaii due to lack of meaningful minutes.

                        Karl T gets called in against the Irish with one foot out the exit door. Hailed as our "best scrummager" but doesn't get picked.

                        Samisoni dropped for 3rd test after playing well .

                        Will Jordan benched for the second test.

                        The whole thing is a dogs breakfast.

                        Nobody knows where they stand bar Cane, the Barretts, Ardie, Aaron and Whitelock.

                        @Steve Thereโ€™s just too much that doesnโ€™t make sense here when laid out like that. Reminds me of when they brought in the Brisbane Broncos coach Wayne Bennett post 2007.

                          Anyone think he is sacked regardless of result this weekend or is he safe?

                          Would a 1 point win save him?

                            He got a bit tetchy towards the end of his press conference explaining the selections. He's normally pretty laid back, so it was more noticeable.

                            Hopefully, if it is his last test as head coach, he can go out on a high. If ABs play well, he can at least say I told you so. Big if...

                              I am surprised Fozzie hasnt suggested what Henry, Hansen and SMith did...shuffle the coaching roles

                                  Don't forget the rather big element that they need to fly back and get ready for another test in two weeks. Add in other possible upheavals in personnel and this would have to be really well planned through.

                                    Would a 1 point win save him?

                                    Don't forget the rather big element that they need to fly back and get ready for another test in two weeks. Add in other possible upheavals in personnel and this would have to be really well planned through.
                                    Possibility of a phasing out through the Argies games and a new crack for the Bled?

                                    Joe Schmidt is already in NZ. There is continuity. And flying to Oz isn't too much of a stretch. Which paves the way for a new coach for EOYT.

                                      Pretty much as I see it - Schmidt caretakes before Razor can take over EOYT and gets to pick his own players.

                                          Please don't.
                                          There's one coach with a worse record at the Chiefs than Fosterand that's our mate Wazza.
