@nostrildamus Wonder if the Abs might go down the road of an NRL defence coach for the World Cup.

Well this is surprising
.....given he got the job 3 weeks ago.....

Joe Schmidt won’t apply for the All Blacks head coaching role.

Schmidt released a short statement on Saturday that also ruled out the possibility of him working with either Scott Robertson or Jamie Joseph, the leading candidates to succeed Ian Foster.

“I have really enjoyed being back on the grass coaching with the Blues and the All Blacks,” he said. “I very much appreciate those opportunities, but presented with a condensed time frame this year, I won’t be applying for any coaching roles that extend beyond the Rugby World Cup.

[SBW1]

@KiwiMurph Really hope he stays on in some capacity even if it is with one of the Super rugby franchises.

I am absolutely shocked and appalled by that. My faith in anonymous internet sources has taken a real hit. Feeling a bit lost right now.

Will get you the real oil later today.

I'm having a beer with a bloke this afternoon, and his brother's best friend's cousin has a sister-in-law whose next-door neighbour's baby-sitter's boyfriend has a mate who works in the coffee shop next street down from NZR HQ....

I wonder what that really means and if it is really the key reason...

sad news because he won't apply or because of his not made public except to you (and others in the know) reasons?

[Rancid Schnitzel]

So Schmit got the job but a couple of weeks later it suddenly dawned on him that he had a child with special needs and had to turn it down?

I heard they offered the captaincy to McCaw. He said yes, but then realised he'd retired.
