I was initially a little surprised to see no announcement around assistants. Having reflected on that, I think it's not unreasonable they might need a few extra days to get things sorted out.

I'd rather they not make rush decisions and get whatever staffing decisions, done correctly.

The review of the review needs time to get excited about.

Weird that people are asking for a recall of TJP. Who is he supposed to replace?

Which of our halfbacks performed so badly, that they aren't needed anymore?

Would you prefer they just sack them and face multiple legal issues?

That's of course there are ready and willing replacements immediately available.

There was talk of MacMillan being included at one point. I am assuming it would take more than 5 days to work out what would happen for the Chiefs next season.

It’s just more corporate babble from corporate babblers. They hide for a week then say nothing.

Yup, but perhaps in this instance they actually can't say anything.

Ultimately, I don't really care what they say, I care a lot more about what they do.

It's just a shame it's going to take 3 weeks to see what they have achieved :)

There’s nothing that was said today that couldn’t have been said on Saturday or Sunday.

If only NZR had highly paid professional communications people who could schedule conversations with the media. Maybe they could call it a “press conference” and have it the day after the game.

Sure, if they knew that was all that was going to be able to said on Friday.

Perhaps they hoped to have more, but they haven't been able to finalize the details as yet?

Perhaps they are inept. It's impossible to know.

I guess there is always the option of not assuming the worst.

Fair enough I guess.

It's pretty clear the delay is employment issue related, for better or for worse, and as a result there is nothing he can say.

Not discussing specific changes is fine and was handled ok.

Hiding and not saying anything for a week and then saying what should have been said on Saturday or Sunday is bizarre.

I tried to post this on Stuff but it seems to have failed moderation! (from a Tweet somebody posted after the second test but still germane)

First Test: No coach, All Blacks won easy

Second Test: coach was back. All Blacks played awful and lost

Lesson: It's better to be orphans than Foster children

Angus Gardner for the first South Africa test. Just when it didn’t look like things could get worse…

At least Pearce is doing the second test.
