KEY POINTS:
It's D-Day for the All Blacks' coaching panel of Graham Henry, Steve Hansen and Wayne Smith, who will have their performance reviewed today.
The coaching trio, along with manager Darren Shand and selector Sir Brian Lochore will meet the NZRU Rugby Committee for their performance review.
The review is expected to just take a day, with the Rugby Committee to report their findings to the NZRU board tomorrow.
The Rugby Committee is comprised of NZRU Board members Mike Eagle, Ivan Haines, Jock Hobbs, Graham Mourie and Paul Quinn.
A decision on the next All Black coach will be made once results of the review have been considered.
Despite the All Blacks shock quarterfinal exit to France, there has been widespread support for Henry to stay on.
A UMR Research poll conducted after the defeat found 61 per cent of those polled thought Henry should stay on.
The incumbent coaching panel will campaign as a trio, and point to their test record of 42 wins in 48 tests, an 85 percent success rate.
The NZRFU have said they'll appoint a new coach before Christmas.
Crusaders coach Robbie Deans is the leading candidate to succeed Henry and if the board decide to move in another direction.
