Newly appointed Australia coach Dave Rennie said this week that the All Blacks left it too late to secure his services, with the “proud” New Zealander now focused on mentoring their arch-rivals.

Along with Rennie, Jamie Joseph ruled himself out of consideration after opting to remain as Japan coach, whereas former Wales boss Warren Gatland also turned down an offer to apply, focusing instead on the Waikato Chiefs and coaching the British and Irish Lions in 2021.

All Blacks assistant Ian Foster and three-time Super Rugby-winning Crusaders coach Scott Robertson now appear to be the front-runners.“We have known for some time that Dave was in talks with Rugby Australia, so we have been clear about his position regarding the All Blacks head coach position,” he said.Rennie will take over from Michael Cheika in July next year after fulfilling his commitments to current club Glasgow Warriors.

“I think Australians want their national team coached by an Australian and I’m okay with that,” he said. “Hopefully, they’re feeling that way because they care about Aussie rugby and all I can say is everywhere I’ve gone I’ve immersed myself in the community and the culture.
