I doubt Dave Rennie is in the running for the All Blacks job this time around. Staying on at Glasgow and being successful will help him secure a job with a European national side.
He could have interest in an assistant role though? This contract wouldn't preclude him joining at the end of the European season like Smith did with Northampton in 2004.
There isn't really an obvious open role outside of England which will be filled after the bomb out of RWC.

@Daffy-Jaffy said in NH club rugby:
I wonder if he has an AB out clause?
Glasgow Warriors head coach Dave Rennie has agreed on a one-year contract extension at the club.
After initially joining on a two-year deal, Rennie was due to be out of contract at the end of the season but will now remain in his post until 2020.
Speaking to BBC Scotland ahead of Saturday’s match against Benetton, the New Zealander said: “I’m going to be here for at least another year and a half – possibly longer.
“It’s been really good. We’re happy, and my wife is happy, that’s the key.
“If I’m not here who is going to be running the show and contracting? It gives players clarity over who is going to be here.”
In his first season, Rennie guided Glasgow to the PRO14 semi-finals, and they currently top Conference A.
Glasgow has now lost three games on the bounce, including the 1872 Cup to Edinburgh (again) and their loss to Benetton in Italy this weekend saw them knocked off top spot by Munster. Next two weeks are European Champions Cup games, at home to Cardiff and away to Saracens. They need to win both if they want to reach knockout stages. Tricky times ahead.

@Derm-McCrum just watching the end of this - ref did everything in her power to try and get the "overdog" the win. Very reluctant to penalise several Glasgow offences now and then a weak penalty for a Treviso player not rolling away - when a Glasgow player was pretty much holding him in place.

@Duluth Deans will back Scott Robertson this time around, but might be part of his coaching team.
Georgia have won the Rugby Europe International Championships in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018 under Haig. Very much the outsider among the names I mentioned, but I could see him throw his hat into the ring later this year.

Gregor Townsend could be involved with the Lions tour to South Africa in 2021 which would open up a spot for Dave Rennie with Scotland.
Hold your horses.
CV first please.
Done sweet FA as far as I'm concerned.

Agreed, but look at the options. Head coach? Schmidt would be the obvious choice if he were still around but after that? Farrell is a likely contender for an assistant’s gig and after that I’m struggling.

Unlikely that would be anything more than a secondment for Townsend though - not sure how appealing the Scotland role is at all to be honest (Cotter walked away from it, best you can hope for is a series of well timed upsets). Getting a Scotland team with the best four players on Lions duty to tour around Fiji and Japan for a few weeks hardly sounds like worth hanging around for.
It really depends what Rennie's long term aspiration is. He hasn't followed the traditional path by any stretch - he could have written his own ticket in European club rugby as early as 2000 but did the IRANZ thing and waited a long time for his crack above NPC level.
It wouldn't shock me at all if Rennie would see an AB assistant role (dependent on the HC) as a better landing spot than grinding it out in the 6N. Caveat to all of this being if England bomb out and Eddie goes I could see anyone outside of Foster and Schmidt taking that role if offered. In most ways it is a better gig than being part of the ABs set up following the last 12 years.

One hundred minute game and bath lose when down to 11 men.
As far as I was aware, if you are off with a yellow once time is up on the clock, you can't come back. Time is up, the extra time shown is not relevant. There's no injury time any more.

never really thought about it, but not sure; if you get a YC in the 1st half and then the half goes for 45 mins, the extra time counts as your time off the park, so would assume while the clock is ticking, so would your 10 mins in the bin?
You can only come back on with a break in play, which a scrum reset would be surely?

Correct. On your first half example. The YC clock continues if the first half clock continues past 40 mins.
On second-half - the clock only continues until there's a break in play and game is over, unless it was a penalty, in which case it might be arguable that a player could come back on. Don't know if a scrum reset would allow you to as well. -

That's a kind way of putting it. Another view might be Cotter didn't get his contract renewed because they wanted to bring Toonie in so they didn't lose him from Scottish rugby and he'd done his time at the Weegies.

@taniwharugby Jeez, that's bad

Absolutely terrible. This is going to bring in changes - before the World Cup I reckon.

Perhaps the French should look at what they're doing wrong. And before WR have a knee-jerk reaction, they should determine the circumstances and see if a rule change would ensure it wouldn't have eventuated.
-
@Derm-McCrum Is there some stats on rugby deaths world wide? Why is France doing so badly at it? Hopefully that'll be looked at, not knee-jerk... I'm not holding out much hope tho.

I'd imagine Lima and Julian make a big impact at the dinner table though....
