The Rugby Thread - Part Deux

Just spotted Jonny Bairstow and Tristan Stubbs in the stadium watching the Sharks and Stormers game.
 
Vern Cotter has ruled himself out of contention for the All Blacks job.

I don't hear anyone touting Wayne Pivac, but surely he must be an option. Won the Pro 12 with the Scarlets, who played attractive rugby under him. Then took Wales to beat SA in SA. Whatever you want to say about the makeup of the Bok team on that day, it's not something anyone other than himself has achieved for Wales.

Wales got their highest ever points total vs England, beating them 40-24 and winning the Triple Crown - under Pivac.

He even won a 6N before half the team decided to retire.

The guy also had success with Fiji.

Graham Henry had a terrible record with Wales and made a great AB coach.

It will most probably be Jamie Joseph or a big maybe: Dave Rennie

Vern Cotter not even on the radar.
 
“It was a bit frustrating when people started saying there was a possibility that he could leave us before his contract expired.

“We had a quick chat and asked him if things were still the same. He said, ‘Of course, my contract is until 2027 and I’m committed to it.


“I don’t know if New Zealand will make him an offer, but he won’t leave us before 2027. We would like to keep him longer, but he’s also honest and says he has the ambition to coach the All Blacks.”
