Rugby Search on for Ferns coach

-

New Zealand Rugby (NZR) has officially launched the search for Wayne Smith’s replacemen­t. The governing body yesterday confirmed it had opened applicatio­ns for the Black Ferns director of rugby role. As expected, Smith retired after guiding the Black Ferns to World Cup glory on home soil this month, less than a year after taking over the embattled side. ‘‘This is one of the most important coaching roles in New Zealand, to be appointed at the most exciting time we have known in the women’s profession­al game,’’ NZR general manager of profession­al rugby and performanc­e Chris Lendrum said. Applicatio­ns for the role will close on December 2.
