Richard Knowler of The Dominion Post believes that the All Blacks boss should be kept on by the New Zealand Rugby Union in some capacity after the completion of the World Cup.
"He's pulling a pension, enjoys dropping a hook into the briny for a snapper and has probably torn a few strips off some wayward school pupils in his time. Oh, and he knows a thing or two about rugby.
"At 65 years of age, Graham Henry will soon be forced to dip his toes back into the job market and if retirement doesn't appeal, maybe it is time to update his CV.
"Although the All Blacks coach has remained coy about whether he will vacate the job he has held for eight years, the perfect ending is in sight; if the All Blacks finally win the Webb Ellis Cup for the second time, Henry will bowl on to the Eden Park turf on Sunday night with that lopsided grin of his, embrace everyone in sight in a series of congratulatory hugs and then declare "no more".
"And if they lose, the grin will be gone but the scenario remains the same. Then what?"
