So what are our bets on replacements? Wayne Smith? Joe Schmidt? Some random former Crusader? The man, the myth?

Well won't be Smith or Schmidt I guarantee. Think the man we would like is tied to the Boks until 2027. I genuinely not sure if we need a replacement unless there is a very high standard replacement, a Brown or Andrew Goodman, who I think is also tied in until 27 at Ireland?

Pita Ahki returns to the Blues from Toulouse. Probably too old for NZ at 33 but he's a great player.

Robertson said had not contemplated whether to bring a replacement for 2026

They dont bring in a replacement and it basically says "um yeah that guy wasn't doing anything here anyway. Holding a few tackle bags maybe? Was it James? I forget already."

There is NO WAY someone in that position, safely sequestered away in All Black camps, the NZRFU tip of the spear, on FULL PAY to do absolutely nothing from December to June, 6 months a year to go nuts on the Playstation, is going to "volunteer" to give up the job. 2 years out from RWC.

He either got the hard word or he very adroitly read the tea leaves visa visor his contract not being renewed
