Deans' Crusaders side top the Super 14
|
Canterbury Crusaders and ex-New Zealand assistant coach Robbie Deans says he does not want the vacant Wales job.
"I had an enquiry a few weeks ago but I told them I was not interested, that remains the case," he said after his side's 20-11 win over the Hurricanes.
Deans led his side to the Super 12 title last season and his team top the Super 14 this year.
Media speculation in New Zealand suggests that Deans could be tempted by Wales if the package was right.
The Kiwi is thought to be the most likely of the overseas candidates linked to the Welsh job, along with compatriot Warren Gatland.
But the favourites for the position are Welshmen Gareth Jenkins and Phil Davies.
It is likely that ongoing political wranglings within the Welsh Rugby Union will need to be resolved before the next coach is appointed.
