With the disappointment of the All Blacks early exit from the Rugby World Cup starting to fade, thoughts are now turning to who might be the next All Blacks coach.
Steve Hansen will step down after the bronze match against Wales in Tokyo on Friday.
Outgoing New Zealand Rugby boss Steve Tew says a four-member panel would interview candidates and it is hoped a replacement would be named by Christmas.
Japan's coach Jamie Joseph, Chiefs coach Dave Rennie and Crusaders coach Scott Robertson are reportedly some of the names being considered.
