Wyllie, Hart compete
PA Wellington The All Black selectors, John Hart and Alex Wyllie, are competing for the job of coaching a New Zealand rugby team to tour Japan in October. They are among four nominations for the position, which will be decided at ’next week’s meeting of the New Zealand Rugby Union council in Auckland. 'The other two are Wellington’s coach, Earle Kirton, and the former
Wairarapa-Bush coach, Lane Penn, who had charge of the Central zone side in the recent zonal competition. Brian Lochore, the AU Black coach for the World Cup, is believed to be unavailable for the Japan tour, but nominations can still be made by councillors at the meeting on Friday week. Details of the tour are still to be finalised, but it is expected to be of five matches, culminating in an unofficial test.
