Listening to the commentary last night I kind of wish that Fred was still with NZF. His departure hasn't stopped the incompetence and ineptitude in the organisation and he seems to be a critic of how Antony Hudson set up the team. As High Performance Director he would have at least been able to influence that.
Of course, that shows how bad the organisation is that Fred would be the voice of reason, he made some terrible decisions the eligibility saga notwithstanding - like forcing players to pay to represent the country. At least he's a football person.
