Hansen in the top job....no surprise.
Ian Foster as assistant coach with the backs portfolio.
Aussie McLean as defense specialist

Mick Byrne (probably) as skills coach (incl Lineouts and forward portfolios)

Grant Fox as independant selector......very good choice (excepting his Auck bias)
A very good friend of mine conducts a lot of business with Fox so I finally have a channel of influence to selectorial decisions... Grin

Boks coach will be announced on 27th Jan. Seems that Gert Smal will pip Heinecke Meyer to the post (both are serious campaigners but specialising in forward play). Gert was forward coach under Jake White. most recently the forward coach of Ireland. Heinecke was coach of the Bulls when they ruled local Curry Cup and Super 12. then left for stint at Saracens and back in SA as director of rugby at Bulls.
Rassie Erasmus (director of Coaching at Stormers/Western Province) resigned today so guess there's something better awaiting him - most likely in UK or France.
Personally think Alistar Coetzee (Stormers coach) could do the backline job again but also in running for head coach job so not sure he'll settle for assitant role - as he did with Jake White.
