Media trying to get Hansen to endorse Foster as his successor, but he doesn't do it. He says he rates Foster highly, but as to who should be the next coach, he says he'll keep his opinion to himself. There are processes for that.

To be fair they asked Smith on the way out and he backed Foster. Pretty sure Henry openly backed Hansen too.

Well I didn’t that coming. Cheika to take over from Hansen. NZRU innovative as always.

Hansen: We are the only team that can win 3 consecutive world cups. Brazil haven't managed it. And they don't play rugby.
Smart-ass journalist: Brazil do play rugby.
Hansen: Not their soccer team.

If he wins in Japan, he will be the GOAT. Either way he has had a great run, time for a change

Hahaha, that's nasty for those of us reading through the thread to find this information.

TAB's hypothetical market on Hansens replacement...if they were running a real book I dont expect a few of those names would actually appear, or should be much longer odds...

@taniwharugby Eddie seems remarkably short priced.

I hope they do open a book. Made a solid $250 off the TAB with Henry's reappointment at 5-1 the day before the decision.
Foster too short when you consider the ABs are longer than $2.00 at most books to win RWC.

How many of those guys in the top 5 do we think could work together ?
I am concerned with the thought of Foster , without much recognized support behind him ,
Put a good team around him , no where near as worried .

Foster and Gatland are former teammates so could work together.
Robertson should not be at such short odds. Still needs more time and I'd like to see how he goes with the Crusaders in 2020 when the core of that team won't be there anymore. Maybe after the next RWC cycle.

Assuming the bottom four are jokes...
Schmidt and Cotter obviously seem a likely ticket. Gats worked under Foster at the Chiefs in '07, live down the street from one another and were team mates.
Gats is a wild card though I could see him doing anything between wanting the Aussie job and happily settling as an assistant under Foster. Razor same thing except sub the Aussie job for an NH posting.
Rennie is technically contracted to the end of the '19/20 European season which would make a head coach tilt difficult, but could be an assistant and join after the season like Smith did in '04 - doesn't really have any strong links to anyone listed there does he? Would be difficult to fall in behind Foster who he completely showed up in '12-13.
