New Zealand Rugby must tread carefully in deciding whether to stick or twist with All Blacks boss Ian Foster after the World Cup as announcing a successor before the tournament would cause distractions, former coach Steve Hansen said.

Hansen said NZR are caught between a rock and a hard place, knowing that they could lose their preferred candidate if they wait too long but may also alienate Foster by announcing a decision before the end of his contract. "They need to sit down and if they make a decision to do it, they would have to put some boundaries around what the incumbent coach could and couldn't do.

Hansen, who led the All Blacks to World Cup glory in 2015, said naming a successor to Foster while he is trying to guide the team to the title in France would create problems.
