Its one thing losing Tony Brown, the coach, and quite another having him share everything hes learned about the Springboks with the All Blacks.
That is the most concerning part of the possibility of Brown, the Springbok assistant coach, leaving the national rugby team for a position with the New Zealand side.
Of course plenty has to happen for this to occur, but as things stand Brown is a wanted man in the All Blacks set-up, especially if, as many are predicting, Jamie Joseph becomes the new coach in place of Scott Robertson, who was fired last Thursday .
