what amazing jobs Hansen and Foster have. They must be thinking "one more match then we have 7 months off. On full pay. Just like last year. And the year before that. Sidle up the stands to snooze through a couple of Super Rugby games, potter around the garden, watch the telly, eat a few pies, then June rolls around and hello, the court of public opinion, who've been watching the entire Super Rugby season anyway, have pretty much picked the AB team for us. Doddle through June, bit rusty, have a bit of a run around, bit of work through August and September then hello, November again, cushy end of year junket up north, finest hotels, blah blah, fuck the rugby, we'll play any old how and call it 'rebuilding' or 'keeping the powder dry' and bobs yer uncle, season over, time for another 7 months at home parked up on the Lazyboy again"

Missed the NZRU sponsered Six Nations "scouting" trip they usually go on in Jan/Feb.

This post is outstanding.

They like to stay at Home House, a club, with rooms, in Portman Square. Check it out, and its prices.

@maroon A friend of mine is a member. Would think Steve Hansen would stand out like a Shag on a rock!

Gatland

It's preordained

@mikethesnow you wanna ban?

ROG going to Crusaders, made me think, what odds on a foreigner ever being included in the ABs coaching team (in any capacity?)

You mean like Gatland?

Nil.

Serious answer though, we have already been there, done that.

Mick Byrne is an Aussie and was a big part of the coaching set up before he went home and is now doing the same thing to the Wobblies.

@crucial

Might just be me, but I reckon we miss him too.

[Disgusted of TW]

@crucial D'oh, I forgot him. Maybe I should have excluded the West Island from the question - what about an NH coach, then?

[pakman]

@gt12 agree. Our kicking leaves a lot to be desired. One Barrett beauty left us back 40 metres after Hogg returned what came directly to him.

Considering that NH teams are grabbing SH coaches in order to get away from stodgy rugby it is unlikely that we would go the other way.
Perhaps a set piece coach once Cron retires?
