The Dominion Post's Marc Hinton questions whether Mick Byrne has the required credentials to join the All Blacks' coaching staff.
"Is New Zealand rugby ready for a revolution? Or more to the point are the All Blacks?
That’s the firming prospect as new coach-in-waiting Steve Hansen assembles his support crew for 2012 and beyond.
Hansen will be the new All Blacks coach. We all know that. Never mind the nonsense of wasting everybody’s time with an interview process for a job that’s already been decided.
But it’s Hansen’s assistant coaches where it gets interesting.
Current skills coach Mick Byrne has the inside running for promotion to an assistant’s job as he looks to take the next step in his career.
But people, are we ready for this?"
