Former All Black Justin Marshall says Warren Gatland is a top candidate to become All Blacks coach if or when he decides to apply for the role.
Gatland wraps up his impressive stint in the Northern Hemisphere after this year's World Cup, ending his 13‑year tenure with Wales to return to New Zealand, where it's already been confirmed he'll coach the Chiefs next season.
Current All Blacks coach Steve Hansen will also step down after this year's tournament in Japan, and while punters think his successor will most likely be assistant coach Ian Foster or Crusaders coach Scott Robertson, Marshall believes Gatland's name should be in the mix too.
