Schalk Burger and Jean de Villiers have hailed Dave Rennie’s decision to recruit former All Blacks head coach Sir Graham Henry as a national selector.
Henry coached the All Blacks in 140 matches and led the side to Rugby World Cup glory in 2011 before stepping down from the position, which was then filled by Sir Steve Hansen.
New Zealand Rugby has previously made use of high-profile former players and coaches as selectors, with legendary fly-half Grant Fox notably filling the role for a decade, while Joe Schmidt also had a stint in the position.
