Inside story

What a brilliant, quality background article by Gregor Paul (Weekend Herald, October 29) on the machinations behind the scenes on the decision to retain Ian Foster as All Blacks coach, the key role of Joe Schmidt, senior players, and how Scott Robertson was treated by NZR. I expect Robertson will take full advantage of the “international shop window” he will be afforded in the next few weeks coaching the Barbarians in the UK to choose which Northern Hemisphere country he will coach for in the future.
