Kiwi coaches in frame for Wales

Three Kiwi coaches are believed to be shortlisted to succeed Warren Gatland to be the next Wales coach after the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

The list includes former Chiefs and Glasgow coach Dave Rennie, former Auckland coach Wayne Pivac and Hurricanes coach Chris Boyd as possibilities.

Rennie responded to the claims but indicated he has not been involved in any discussions and is surprised to be linked to the Wales job.

“There will be plenty of guys keen to take over after Gats, so I am sure that will play out over the next year or so,” he told Wales Online.

“I keep saying I’m a young coach but I’m not getting any younger.

“When I came over here I was pretty keen to be involved in the week-to-week stuff, because you get a chance to work with a lot of players with regards development and so on.”

"It seems like the idea of Ardie Savea moving to openside flanker is no longer on the table"


Says who? Savea was picked on the open side, with Wallace Sititi at 8, against France. It makes no difference to Savea’s game, whatsoever and allows Sititi to play in his preferred position. It also provides an option to bring in a third loose forward that may provide a better lineout option and a big body to compete with some of the big bodies found in other teams.


It was unfortunate that Finau was injured so early on against France before he had a chance to show how he might combine with Savea and Sititi, and there is still a possibility that Hoskins Sotutu might be effective alongside them too.


Don’t count out viable options.
