[QUOTE="fcukernaut, post: 150001"] Graham Henry is an unattainable goal. Depending how the World Cup goes, he'll either retire or, as he has hinted in the past, try to win back to back world ***les. Should NZ lose I have a feeling he'll be fired immediately and will retire to some remote land far and away from the NZ media. Even if he wins there's a good chance he'll call it quits, he isn't a young man anymore. So with the distinct possiblity of a new coaching position in NZ, either Steve Hansen or Robbie Deans will not be available. Those two seem to me to be the front runners. Hansen seems to be a fairly obvious replacement, given that he has played an integral part in the coaching staff and the development of players in the last 4 years. I would assume that with the success of the current regime, the NZRU would like to keep the current system in place for future success. Robbie Deans, to me, would be the best choice for Wales. Not only has he been part of the most successful proffessional sports franchise on the entire planet, but he continually takes players who may not be the most skilled or talented and turns them into winners. This is the main key. The development that players undergo is emmence. Sure there are a ton of players that come out of the Canterbury conveyer belt, but there are also a lot of players who couldn't crack the rosters of other provinces, most noteably Auckland, brings them and turns them into All Blacks. Another good thing for Wales, it's been widely speculated that Robbie Deans has been looking leave his job at Canterbury for a new challenge. If the NZRU doesn't throw him a bone, he's gone. [/QUOTE]
