So what are our bets on replacements? Wayne Smith? Joe Schmidt? Some random former Crusader? The man, the myth?

Well won't be Smith or Schmidt I guarantee. Think the man we would like is tied to the Boks until 2027. I genuinely not sure if we need a replacement unless there is a very high standard replacement, a Brown or Andrew Goodman, who I think is also tied in until 27 at Ireland?

Pita Ahki returns to the Blues from Toulouse. Probably too old for NZ at 33 but he's a great player.
