[QUOTE="Mikel92, post: 697403, member: 71857"] Kind of bored so just thought I might get some discussion happening. Not limited to NZ posters, would be keen to get some other perspectives as always. Who do you reckon will be the All Blacks coach post-Rugby World Cup next year? It has certainly been noted by journalists that the President of the NZ rugby board wants Steve Hansen to stay. For how long, I'm not sure. The article can be found here, [url]http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/all-blacks/63461468/Steve-Hansen-set-to-sign-beyond-next-World-Cup[/url] Some of the players for example (like Conrad Smith I think?) are staying for at least another year after the World Cup. Of course Hansen has achieved an amazing record with the All Blacks and that would be fantastic. Very successful as sole coach, and under Henry. He certainly hasn't ruled it out. I'm just curious, who are you keen to see coach the ABs beyond the World Cup? I can see many advantages to Hansen staying, but I just question the longevity of it if he does. Surely it's wise to keep fresh. If Daryl Gibson landed the job for example, we might get two or three World Cups out of him. Don't think it'd be that many for Hansen.
