Excellent. His loose forwards hit rucks.

Any updates or rumours from anyone on announcement timings?

Joseph or Rennie. Foster's also involved - responsible for supplying the pies.

A contract has been offered - at current a long way apart.
To whoM and for what role?
Corrected
Or, I should correct. Jamie Joseph wants a six year contract, they are offering two.
I am unsure if the two year deal is a universal offer.

No one gets a straight 6 year deal after the Razor debacle. Maybe a 3 X 2 with a performance based out clause every 2

anyone expecting one past the RWC is dreaming i think

I guess the concern any coach might have here, is you take the job, and with a lack of time to implement your ideas you lose the Springboks Tour, and then go out to the Boks in the World Cup QF, and you are out of the job.
I think six is excessive, but I can see why someone would want more than two.

New Zealand Rugby (NZR) will get its man – that’s not in doubt – but when exactly it gets access to him, be it either Jamie Joseph or Dave Rennie – is a big unknown.
With applications for the job having closed on Tuesday and strong reason to believe Joseph and Rennie are the only two candidates that will be interviewed, NZR is hopeful that it will have the next All Blacks coach signed within six weeks.
On that timeline, the new man will likely be announced in early-mid-March – which will be sometime between rounds five and six of Super Rugby Pacific, which kicks off next week, and about week 10 or 11 of the 18-week Japanese Top League.
Getting Rennie – he’s with the Kobe Steelers – out of Japan will likely be simpler and less fraught than dealing with the complexities and sensitivities of hauling Joseph out of a Super club midway through a campaign.
Rennie is off contract at the end of the season (early June) and signalled to Kobe some time ago that he would not be extending his stay beyond the current season.
Kobe have already secured coaching replacements for next season and Sir Wayne Smith is joining as director of rugby – and so the assumption is that having been transparent with the club about his future, Rennie has declared to his current employer that he has applied for the All Blacks job.

@frugby You’d definitely want to be judged more leniently than usual. The new coach could be looking at a very low win percentage after the World Cup.

I could be wrong, but I imagine the terms of the contract are probably largely agreed on before the interview stage in this situation.
I think the interview stage will be more robust than what Razor went through, but the interview process for a job at this level is surely more of a ratification, given the candidates are known quantities?
