[QUOTE="Tomsey, post: 470685, member: 38105"] Smith is signed on to coach the Cheifs in the Super 15 until next year. Although Smith has coached in England before (he coached the Saints in 2001). I'm sure the RFU would prefer someone who has had recent experience coaching in England (or at least Europe). On the question of weather England will have a Kiwi coach I think its likely. Appointing Stuart Lancaster as a care taker for the 6 Nations means that they will delay appointing ahead coach until New Zealand has appointed their new coach. If they did it before the 6 Nations a lot of Kiwi coaches may have not apply for the job in they hope of holding out for the New Zealand role. Australia did a similar thing in in 2007 by waiting until Graham Henry had been reappointed to the All Blacks so they had a shot at signing Robbie Deans. [/QUOTE]
