Foster, Robertson etc

@Steve That makes no sense. They can only start 15 and have 8 reserves in each match. Not many games to trial people in lately. France Ireland and South Africa are the weakest of our opponents in the past 7 matches. Maybe NZRU could have been kinder by having matches against lesser opponents or fielding an NZ XV during that sequence. But don't think the AB fans would take kindly to playing second xvs v leading nations like SA and France do.

Foster doesn't even make sense anymore. He seems detached from reality. I hope it is a front for the media for his sake.

I wonder what Gatland might be quietly doing ...
Please don't.
There's one coach with a worse record at the Chiefs than Fosterand that's our mate Wazza.Gats at the Chiefs may not have been a success, but I'd take him in a heartbeat over Foster. He knows how to win games at the top level, and gets teams up. You dno't get picked as a multi-Lions coach for nothing.

Given both his approach to the Chiefs role and his results, I'd like to see more of him back in the NZ environment first. Not a stance I'd normally take, but his Chiefs tenure left questions. While I'd also have Gatland as coach instead of Foster, thankfully it isn't a two-choice decision

Yep, something is definitely out of character there. It's either that he knows he's gone and is highly unimpressed at that/the level of heat he's getting, or the pressure is taking a very big toll. I'm hoping for his sake that it's the former.

i think maybe we just need to never hire a chiefs coach for the ABs ever again.

i really won't. Mitchell and Foster are fucking Waikato through and through. We are just forced to coexist with them for half the year.
Nothing the current lad is doing screams next level.

@mariner4life I am referring to wanting to drop Cane, and McMillan.

He's relying on our two best contenders having never coached the Chiefs. But if Clayton's rise continues, I'm sure past posts can be quietly erased

To get a bigger payout on his contract by refusing to resign.

Are you trolling or do you seriously believe that?
-
He'll be paid the same regardless. To the end of 2023. There's no way he can demand more, and precious few ways that NZR can pay less.
It's whether he is allowed near the team in that time or not.

Rennie coaches the Wallabies he is dead to me
Wayne Smith was a shit head coach. He's a Robin not a batman

I noticed the Allblacks have shoe horned in a test against Japan on October 29th at short notice before the EOYT tour starts proper.
First thing that came into my mind is they wanted to give the new coach another match to gain momentum.

More likely to make up the earnings which the current shit-show is costing them.
The Japan game only allows a certain number of players to get into the right patterns, and under no pressure. A game of Possibles vs Probables would be both higher pressure and give more players a run. But not earn the same amount.
