Former Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt will not be the next All Blacks boss after pulling out of the race to take the top job.
Reports emerged earlier this week that the Kiwi was interested in taking over the head coach position of his homeland when current boss Ian Foster steps down at the conclusion of this year's World Cup in France.
On Saturday evening however, Schmidt confirmed that he would not be seeking the top job when it becomes available at the end of this year.
