Tony Brown is set trade the bottle green and gold of the Springboks for the much more familiar black of home.
The current South Africa attack coach has signed on as an All Blacks assistant coach for the two years after the 2027 Rugby World Cup.
The All Blacks will still face Brown as South Africa's current attack coach during the Greatest Rivalry tour this year, and in a likely World Cup quarterfinal next year if both teams win their pool.
Former Highlander and Māori All Black Joey Wheeler told Heather du Plessis-Allan that bringing, arguably, one of our most innovative and creative coaches back into New Zealand rugby is a master stroke by NZR.
He says regardless of who the head coach will be following the Rugby World Cup, knowing Brown, he’ll be able to work with anyone.
