It's crazy to think he wasn't the first choice after fatty left. Let's hope the talent can match his level of coaching.

Lots of stalwarts leaving, will be interesting to see how the new clan shapes up.

Foster did a great job getting the wee abs to the final and putting in a good, courageous performance. 

Bit like kicj

King out Carel Du Plessis as Bok coach after the Bok scoring a record win over Oz. Mallet then took that team on a record series of wins. Carel laid the groundwork for that.

NZ has the talent and you are correct - As it has turned out - Foster has laid the groundwork.

The AB's next year wil be a new breed.

The All Blacks need to find some new locks. Retalick and Whitelock are major losses.
Scott Barrett is solid, but no world-beater.
Even at the end of the Steven Hanson era, if Retalick was not in the team the All Blacks struggled to gain parity.

I see Cane is leaving NZ with immediate effect and going to Japan.

Razor will be huge for the AB’s like Rassie has been for the Boks

I agree Saffex.

I think Rassie being huge for the Boks sums everything up - 2 world cups.

He has certainly achieved what he set out to do.

Lets get real - We measure coaches around world cup achievements and Rassie is now the most successful coach in world rugby.

And being a Kiwi and hate to say it - Saffex has been saying this all along

Good ABs are starting a new era, being divided over the coach & the up & down performance has not been a good thing. Congrats to Foster & the coaches for getting so close to the winning the RWC final but it’s time to move on. Razor will rekindle Hope & bring a new approach .
