@Bovidae ha, just read this article about TJP on Smith....
Tackling is not the same as defending. Wayne Smith taught TJ Perenara that.

Well duh, it's obviously Mauger.
Mauger is not doing anything post Leicester is he? I still think he will develop into a class assistant, probably not a head, but definately an assistant.

I see in the news this morning Smith is pumping Fozzie to take over from Hansen

Interesting, he knows what sort of coach he better than any of us but his time at the Chiefs still makes me wonder if he's up to it.

Fozzies biggest problem at the Chiefs was selections. He was so random and tried way to hard to mix it up. It was really baffling at times.
In an ABs set up he won't be the sole selector and will have probably learned a lot over these years. I reckon Shag and Smithie are pretty good judges so if they reckon he's the man then I wouldn't discount that at all. -

I'd be nervous about Fossie, but I wasn't sure that Hansen would make a good leader either. So, really, what the hell do I know about what goes on behind closed doors, and if Smith rates him, maybe I should too.
It just feels wrong.

*Smith was quick to point to the fact that Foster guided the team to a semifinal and final during his tenure.
"I think that's a non-thinking throw-away line that doesn't make sense to me," Smith said. "That takes away the attitude that everyone can learn and everyone can improve."*

Well Rattue says Foster would a bad choice.
Fozzie's got my vote now! !

Just a thought...
...what happened to Tony Gilbert post 2001?

He went Scotland for a while , after that I don't know. Maybe they would have gone better as a team if their roles were reversed?
-
If Smith is endorsing Foster as the next head coach then that is enough for me. He would know Foster's ability better than just about anyone else.
My concern is to make sure he has enough quality assistants to support him post 2020. Hopefully at least one of Rennie, Cotter, Joseph, Boyd or Plumtree make themselves available to be assistant coaches under him so that fresh thinking is injected into the panel.

Foster and Boyd wouldn't fill me with confidence.
What's your issue with Boyd? He turned around a franchise that hadn't made the finals in about 6 years and got them to two finals, winning one.

I guess because of his record with Wellington? Wellington seem to be to coaches in the npc what blues are in super rugby.
