Japan head coach Jamie Joseph turns down All Blacks to helm Brave Blossoms into 2023 RWC

Japan head coach Jamie Joseph is out of the running for the vacant All Blacks job after committing to lead the Brave Blossoms through to the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

Joseph was one of 26 coaches invited by the All Blacks to apply for the New Zealand job after Steve Hansen stepped down following the World Cup.

In an interview, Joseph says he has great expectations for rugby in Japan and is very honoured that he can lead the team towards the next World Cup.

Japan beat Russia, Ireland, Samoa and Scotland to reach the knockout stages of a World Cup for the first time, before losing to eventual winners South Africa in the quarter-final.
