    I still hope he is gone.
    Players might be a bit bummed, but you have to have the best coaches available.
    Jason Ryan has made a huge difference - imo

    And there’s nothing to stop him continuing to do so.
    As far as we know it was also Foster that wanted the change from Plumtree.

      I don’t know what went down and I guess we won’t until Fosters best selling book but giving a good reference so as not to destroy a career isn’t unusual

        I think this may well be an attempt by Robinson to stop press speculation and drum beating by extending Fosters reign for the rest of the TRC.
        God forbid, if we lose the Bled, there’s no argument that he’s gone and we rebuild on the EOYT

          Fortunately for him, Australia may be down to their B team by then.

            I don't know why you'd call a press conference if you are keeping Foster.

            Then again this is Robinson

              He made a hash of the PR post Ireland. Maybe he’s trying a different approach

                  Ah, so you think he might be announcing an extension of his contract up until the end of the 2027 Webb Ellice Trophy on the back of this win?

                      If it is to announce the removal of Foster, I wonder if it was already anticipated in the camp. And maybe the All Blacks played their 'massive game for the coach just sacked' one game early.

                      I suppose we'll soon find out either way...

                          Not a great look for NZR though. I doubt Foster was lying when asked if he would still be coach in two weeks with his “I don’t know” comment. That shows that he wasn’t set a clear target to keep his job and NZR have been clearly working behind the scenes on a preset decision without telling him.

                          It wouldn't surprise me that NZR follow up a win at Ellis Park by sacking the coach. That's the level of ineptitude I expect.

                                  Two Springbok rugby magazines in the changing rooms? Is that what Foster hands out pregame to learn about the opposition?

                                        really couldnt imagine you would sack the coach in south africa ,would be incompetent man management. would be feeding foster to the wolves on arrival to new zealand

                                          More assistant changes I reckon or it’s completely different and it’s got something to do with the upcoming Argies series and we are trying to use the good will from last night’s win as the backdrop
