The All Blacks have wasted an opportunity to get some "fresh eyes" and have been tipped to struggle under Ian Foster's coaching by the Planet Rugby website.
Planet Rugby has made seven predictions for the 2020 rugby year, including a claim the Springboks will suffer a hangover season after their 2019 Rugby World Cup win and a grim prognosis about the All Blacks with Foster replacing Steve Hansen at the helm.
The report said like South Africa, they will win matches, but All Blacks supporters require more than that.
Planet Rugby suggested South Africa would need "plenty of mental fortitude" to dominate the rugby world in 2020 and "a lack of continuity could be an issue" with World Cup-winning coach Rassie Erasmus resuming his role as national director of rugby and a new head coach coming in.
The website also forecast that Eddie Jones' England team would go through 2020 unbeaten and tipped them to beat the All Blacks at Twickenham in November.
