All Black Coach - Ian Foster

@Machpants Yeah, without doubt some will flag it, or be contractually bound elsewhere - and some might put up their hands for assistant positions.
I reckon if you started trawling through the staff in those European clubs it might throw up quite a few interesting specialist coaches that most casual NZ fans would have forgotten about.

@Chris-B Surprised you missed Andrew Goodman and Shane Christie from your list of potential coaches! Luckily you seem to have done us all a favour by also not including NZ Under 20s Head Coach Mr. Craig Philpott.
They're the team for 2023.
There's a somewhat common theme to my preferred coaching team posted earlier - but, only if you're paying attention!
Jamie Joseph
Leon MacDonald
Clarke Dermody
Kieran Keane
Ceri Evans -
@Chris-B Jason O'Halloran is one that was promising before he left, worked with Rennie before too?
-
Yeah - be interested to see what sort of list we can collectively compile.
Conrad Smith is with Pau.
Nick Evans at Harlequins.
Bruce Reihana at Bristol. -

@nzzp With two disallowed tries. Our defence was weak as shit in that game.
Tackle completion was fine, and not sure Poms missed any tries they should have scored.
Problem was that we let them run to us, which meant they were usually making yards. In comparison, Boks moved forward five yards, so even if the big units made a couple in tackle they still didn't get over gain line. -

One was a massive obstruction the other was lucky to get ruled out.
That said, we didnt' lose that mainly because of our defence. We got smashed up front, and couldn't make any yards with the ball. It was horrific.
Retallick forced the turnover at the maul where Poms lost the ball, even if we were lucky TMO on ball.

This from Wales on Line -
New Zealand have ruled out appointing a foreign coach, revealing that they have asked 26 New Zealanders to apply for the vacant All Blacks position.Japan coach Jamie Joseph, Hansen's assistant Ian Foster and Crusaders boss Scott Robertson are all heavily linked with the job.
But AFP report that departing Wales coach Warren Gatland is in the mix.
However, it is understood he has been told he could not coach the All Blacks and keep his contract as the British and Irish Lions coach for the 2021 tour to South Africa.

He has been in it since the start. I'm not sure why many editorialized out of the Tew interview that Gatland was out of the running - he simply said he can't do both which seems obvious given NZ have fixtures in July 2021.
Gatland likely has an out clause if he gets the AB posting, but if not it's difficult to see the Home Unions holding him to that contract. On both previous tours Gats wasn't reconfirmed until ~9 months out before the tour and Eddie among others would presumably be up for it...
