    “Summit” is usually code for a talkfest. Let’s hope it actually comes to something

    No code. They are quite clear that this was just a discussion between forward coaches to get some alignment for RWC year on playing to current ref trends and being more effective.
    Sounds a good idea to me.

    So coaches doing their job. Hardly newsworthy, but hey let’s put the summit tag on it and make it more than it really is.

    Not sure where you are coming from here.
    It is a 'summit meeting' because it is competing coaches getting some alignment for the good of the peak selections. Normally they would "do their job" as individuals because that is the way the franchises are set up and managed.
    I think it is worth letting fans know. The comment that NZ rugby should be working together for a common goal and playing alignment is often made on here. Now we can see that it does actually happen.

    @Crucial you can’t see that it’s spin and giving the appearance that they are “doing more”? You would expect that coaches have more contact during a RWC year, which has happened previously without the tagline or articles. And I’m all for that, but given all the furore over the last few months you know the PR was more important than the substance of any ‘summit’.

    im with @ACT-Crusader here...." to get some alignment for RWC year on playing to current ref trends and being more effective" definitely sounds like what they should be doing....like all the time...every day

    Definitely not 'all the time...every day'. That leads to group think and way too much similarity.
    Of course the coaches do get together an discuss trends but this is being painted as a little bit more than that. Getting forwards to use the same techniques to counter lineout drive mauls means that they get more practice and are ready when they hit the ABs.
    I get what @ACT-Crusader is saying. I just think he is being way too cynical. There may be an assumption that this stuff is done anyway but I don't have an issue with it being released to the press. All Press Releases are effectively spin but some also contain some information that is interesting and highlight something good that is going on.

    @Kiwiwomble guess alot will depend on what Fozzie sees as his best way to win the rwc...rookie debutant or safe experience.

    Well you know - Foster with his track record of wild out of the blue, risk taking selections and all...

    @Windows97 who knows, previous decisions may have been made with the intention of keeping his job, now that's gone he may throw caution in the wind and take a punt on someone...?

    Stevenson is doing his chances no harm at the moment. He can play wing and FB as well

    @Darren

    If Jordie is the starting 12 there's more room for a fullback too (or a wing/fullback)
