The New Zealand Rugby Union is inviting applications for All Blacks coach, though World Cup-winning head coach Graham Henry remains tight-lipped about his future.
Henry's contract has expired after Sunday's World Cup Final victory over France and his current assistant, Steve Hansen, is seen as the leading candidate to take over.
But in the days before the World Cup Final the 65-year-old Henry refused to discuss his future plans, raising doubts about whether he favours an immediate succession.
There is also speculation that Henry will seek another position within the NZRU, leaving his faithful assistant Hansen to take his place.
NZRU chief executive Steve Tew said invitations to apply for the job had been sent to prospective candidates.
