<p>I don't think he coached Canterbury that long, not as head coach. My memory is that he had only something like 1 year as an NPC head coach. And was assistant for a few years before that.<br><br>
Between 96 to 01, Robbie Dean's would have been coach most of that time.<br><br>
I think Robbie was NPC coach, as well as S12 manager or assistant for most of the 90s with Wayne Smith as S12 head coach.</p>

<p>Sorry yes you are correct.</p>

<p>It is</p>

<p>97 - 00 - Assistant Canterbury coach (Deans as coach from 97 - 00)</p>
<p>01 - Head Canterbury coach (won the NPC)</p> -

<p>He got a hospital pass with that team though, but still... not great reading.</p>

<p>I do wonder what would have happened if Smith had more ambition and a lust for power. If both interviewed in 2011 who gets the crack do you think?</p>

<p>I think he wouldn't be who he is, and wouldn't be such a great coach. One of his hallmarks is ego-less drive to get the best for the teams he is involved with. Being power hungry is the exact opposite of that.</p> -

<p>although it has been over 13 years since the last coach came back from overseas wasn't it, so looks like the learnings are everywhere!</p> -

<p>Which is precisely what NZR want Rennie to do. But I think his timing is out of kilter. Unsure what International gig he can get and still be back for the 2020 season.</p> -

<p>I'd be happy with that but round the other way ... get Tana in as an assistant and then all the NH scribes can say we're raiding the Islands for our coaches now.</p> -

<p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Dave Rennie doesn't want All Blacks assistant coaching role ahead of 2019</span></span></strong><br>
<br><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">AARON GOILE</span></span><br><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Last updated 12:39, July 27 2016</span></span><br>
<br><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Chiefs coach Dave Rennie is not setting his sights on becoming an All Blacks assistant coach to position himself for a crack at the top job post-2019.</span></span><br>
<br><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">On Monday when it was announced that Steve Hansen had signed on through till after the 2019 World Cup, New Zealand Rugby chief executive Steve Tew indicated Hansen's successor would be involved in the tournament in Japan - presumably meaning with the All Blacks.</span></span><br>
<br><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Rennie is a top contender. He is contracted with the Chiefs till the end of next season, with an option for 2018, but has always indicated a desire to coach overseas.</span></span><br>
<br><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">With Hansen set to step down after 2019 it means Rennie only has a short window to take an overseas club or international side before making a push for the country's top gig, so an option could be to take on some sort of All Blacks assistant role if it is made available.</span></span><br>
<br><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">But when asked on Wednesday about the prospect of taking on an assistant role, Rennie basically said that for him it was the top job or nothing - that if he stays in New Zealand it will be with his current job.</span></span><br>
<br><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">"I don't see myself doing an assistant role," he said.</span></span><br>
<br><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">"If I stayed in New Zealand I'd stay with the Chiefs.</span></span><br>
<br><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">NZR have been in constant contact with the potential next All Blacks coaches to keep them in the loop, with Rennie one of those, along with other contenders already coaching overseas, and Rennie applauded NZR's move to reappoint Hansen.</span></span><br>
<br><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">"I think it's a good move by New Zealand [Rugby], he's a good coach, been really successful, and why would you push someone out the door whose doing such a good job," he said.</span></span><br>
<br><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">"Who knows, he may stay here till '23 or '27, you know.</span></span><br>
<br><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">"There's only one job isn't there, and there's a lot of people who probably want it," Rennie said.</span></span><br>
<br><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">"I'm not sure that everyone will wait around for it, and maybe a bit of luck about timing, if you're around and available when it becomes available.</span></span><br>
<br><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">"Nothing changes from my point of view. </span></span><br>
<br><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">"I've talked a lot about planning to head overseas at some stage. Anyway, the focus is on the Chiefs at the moment, and I'll worry about that stuff maybe next year."</span></span></p>

Not sure I want someone to come into that environment cold.

<p>Unfortunately for Dave, the NZRU probably don't either. </p>

Foster is looking more and more likely...

The Irish won the 6N two years in a row. Highest ever ratings in world rankings. They thought they were in with a shout for the RWC.
