Former All-Black Smith linked with Reds job

World Cup winning-coach Wayne Smith said Munster is just one of a long list of teams his name seemed to be linked with, but admitted he would be tempted by another overseas job.

Smith was part of the All Blacks brains-trust that brought the Webb Ellis trophy back to New Zealand after a 24 year wait. He has been linked with several roles since, including England, but has yet to commit himself to anything beyond 2012.

When asked if he had been in contact with Munster, Smith was unequivocal. “No. No, I haven’t had any talks with them and your name tends to get linked with every job going around the world.”
