Leon MacDonald has become the latest Super Rugby coach this week to confirm he won't be applying for the vacant All Blacks job - as head coach or an assistant.

New Zealand Rugby confirmed last week 26 Kiwi coaches were approached by the governing body about becoming Steve Hansen's successor but MacDonald told Stuff he was focused on his job with the Blues.

It mirrors the opinion of fellow Super Rugby head coaches  Aaron Mauger and Warren Gatland at the Highlanders and Chiefs respectively, who have both said recently they're committed to their franchises.

However, it's the complete opposite for Crusaders mastermind Scott Robertson who reaffirmed yesterday he will "have a crack" at applying.
