Glad we got him finally, albeit too late for 2023 RWC & the process has been embarrassing to the NZR & unfair on Fosters 23 preparations & him as a person.

Really can't stand the NZR.

unfair on Fosters 23 preparations & him as a person.

Do you think Foster had the job for life? In no way does it affect preparations for the RWC. A host of players have said they're ending their international careers at the WC. No one seems to think it will affect their preparation.

Foster should be thankful he was in the AB coaching group for as long as he was. There is little doubt he is a poor head coach.

I'm no fan of Foster, but holding this process before the end of the 2023 RWC is disruptive, he's said as much & common sense dictates it.

If we lose the world cup it won't be because Ian Foster was disrupted by a coaching process 6 months before the world cup, it'll be for the same reasons we lost at home to Ireland, argees n just scraped by Japan and drew with a shocking England team - cause Ian foster suxs at coaching the all blacks.

We know he sucks & shouldn't have got the job & shouldn't be in the job. But they didn't sack him & now have made it even worse by staging a new coaching process just before the tournament cycle begins.

It's stupid & disrupting & makes our chances even worse with what we've got.
