New Zealand Rugby CEO Steve Lancaster hailed him as a world-class, highly sought-after coach, confirming Brown’s desire to join the All Blacks setup. The twist? Brown won’t know who his head coach will be — Dave Rennie’s contract ends in 2027, meaning he might not even be there when Brown arrives. Yet Rennie reportedly supports the move, making the possibility of coaching against each other on the upcoming South Africa tour a wild twist. For now, fans must wait — but this is a major upgrade for the All Blacks coaching staff. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
