Springbok assistant coach Tony Brown will conclude his tenure with the Springboks at the end of the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia, when he will return home to take up a coaching position with the All Blacks.
The former All Blacks flyhalf joined the Springbok coaching team in 2024 and has been an influential figure in shaping the teams attacking game.
Brown has always been open about his personal desire to return home to be closer to his family and give back to New Zealand Rugby.
