    Former All Black Dane Coles will sit on the panel charged with finding the coach to replace Scott Robertson

    Former All Black Dane Coles will sit on the panel charged with finding the coach to replace Scott Robertson


    New Zealand Rugby has confirmed the 90-test veteran will join fellow former All Blacks hooker Keven Mealamu, NZR chair David Kirk, interim CEO Steve Lancaster and high-performance expert Don Tricker on the five-man panel.

    The panel will be tasked with shortlisting and interviewing candidates for the role, before NZR's board has the final say on who the next coach will be.

    The deadline for coaches to apply for the All Blacks head coaching role was February 3.

    Coaches who apply must meet the criteria of both having international experience and being New Zealanders.
