Brown has previously said he has twice rejected the advances of NZR, who wanted him to join the Ian Foster and Robertson coaching staffs.<\/p>\n

Last month, Erasmus re-signed to stay on as Springboks coach until the end of the 2031 Rugby World Cup.<\/p>\n

When SA Rugby made the announcement, it added that: \u201cAn announcement on the contract negotiations with other members of the Springbok coaching team will be made in due course.\u201d<\/p>\n

There has been lots of public support for Joseph to take the reins as All Blacks coach, including from former player and Sky Sport pundit Jeff Wilson.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, the logical choice is Jamie Joseph,\u201d<\/a> Wilson told Newstalk ZB. \u201cHe went head\u2011to\u2011head with Scott Robertson last time and, to my understanding, came close. Jamie Joseph is the obvious man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joseph is set to coach the Highlanders in the upcoming Super Rugby Pacific season, while other names linked to the job include Dave Rennie, Robbie Deans and Sir Steve Hansen.<\/p>\n

Former Chiefs coach Clayton McMillan has already ruled himself out of joining the All Blacks coaching ranks, insisting he\u2019s committed to his current club, Munster.<\/p>\n

The rugby world was left stunned on Thursday when Scott Robertson was relieved of his duties as All Blacks coach, two years into a four-year contract.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brown has previously said he has twice rejected the advances of NZR, who wanted him to join the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":424047,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[52572,3265,10960,64,63,9658,598,131800,3181,3895,43201,580,222896,3127,1697,110825,9669,760,9660,7452,8080,85,2995,30189,68798,319,6483,3605,3205],"class_list":["post-424046","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-african","tag-all","tag-as","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-blacks","tag-brown","tag-clause","tag-coach","tag-contract","tag-exit","tag-for","tag-hunts","tag-new","tag-nz","tag-replacement","tag-robertson","tag-rugby","tag-scott","tag-search","tag-south","tag-sports","tag-springboks","tag-starts","tag-tied","tag-to","tag-tony","tag-with","tag-zealand"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/424046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=424046"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/424046\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/424047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=424046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=424046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=424046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
