If we get coached by an Australian we have failed in coach development in this country. On top of that Australia would never give it to a kiwi. An Australian coaching the All Whites? No way!

The other two Poms mentioned could do a fair job. But again same point as above re coach development in NZ.

You'd imagine local spanish coach Jose Figuera would apply. Not sure who else would be a local and capable.

At the end of the day i think Chris Wood will have the final say on appointment in consultation with a few other players. 
We're a nation of immigrants so who cares where someone is from. Ufuk, Des, Jose, etc. all have spent the bulk of their careers in NZ, Jose developed in NZ. Also, Australia would get the best person they could get their hands on, they wouldn't care if the coach was a New Zealander.

Also, Jose is not Spanish. He was born in and grew up in the UK.
