Devlin going against the grain
This is what I just came here to post as well. The latest on the rumour mill from my sources is it won’t be decided until March.
Starting to think I won’t post everything I hear as it’s just gone willy nilly. Eg throw enough shit at a wall and it’ll stick eventually.
What do they gain by waiting until March? I have no idea other than the Japan season may be over so could suit a Rennie announcement?

They could have made their choice but still be negotiating and sorting out contracts. They might want to do some internal communication first. Maybe they’re just giving themselves a couple of weeks to make sure everything’s in place before making an official announcement.

@kidcalder from memory he challenged Hansen on something and got blacklisted after that. That was a really stupid and weird coaching group, hopefully we see Love get a lot more chances now.
Hansen is still technically an AB assistant coach, isn't he?
Only an assistant though. He’s no longer the head coach.

Ha ha! We shall see!

Mid-March (March 14th) is when the Six Nations ends.

I'm not sure I'd want any current head 6N coach tbh.
Farrell had an initial craic but seems to have fallen away a bit, not a fan of Wales' Tandy-monium, Galthié would never fit in because he actually has dress sense, Borthwick's a bit slow on the innovation front, Townsend isn't too bad, but the word Quesada always makes me feel hungry. -

@nostrildamus It won't be a current Six Nations Head Coach.

Yes I actually wondered whether there was a hint of an assistant but that is surely down the track..

I had four thoughts about the Mid-March being both the likely All Blacks Coaching announcement and the end of the Six Nations.
-
Warren Gatland was working World Rugby on a short-term consultancy with referees. I've no idea if that has already ended, but it might run until the end of the 6 Nations?
-
NZR are known to be admirers of Shaun Edwards. Again I've no idea if he's tied to France until after the 2027 World Cup, but he's definitely going to be committed to them until the end of an ongoing tournament. Is he going to be the All Blacks new Defence Coach?
-
Or it might be that a key member of the NZR board is going to be in Europe until the end of the 6 Nations?
-
Or is it just a coincidence?

He could always try the professional social influencer method a la the Kardashians .. accidentally release a sextape. On second thoughts, maybe not.

Yes - I have it on great authority from some guy on the internet who wrote - in not so many words - that Hanson announced at a team meeting that Ruben Love was blacklisted and would never play for the All Blacks again.
And he never did - except against Wales in the last game when he started at fullback.

@Chris-B. Yeah, right? What on earth makes people moan these players don't get meaningful minutes? Wales have won a grand slam!

What does that have to do with anything?
Did he get blacklisted?
I've just applied some critical thought - and presented some pretty compelling evidence - rarity though that is in this day and age!!!

Wait, are you trying to turn my post against us? You mean he did play meaningful minutes and wasn't blacklisted? Critical thought typically takes in all factors was my assumption, not just ones that suit an opinion.

On the Breakdown they effectively said it was JJ just a matter of time. Goldie: 10-14 days and it’ll be announced.
Also NZR looking at where they can fit Shag in upon his return. So that could be at Super, not necessarily the ABs

McCaw as cultural commissar and loose forward dark arts coach?
