KEY POINTS:
Normally the All Blacks arrive in Cardiff to misty rain and headlines of "this time" from Welsh media trying to overturn rugby history which has not seen the home side beat the visitors for 54 years.
The misty rain is still about, and the headlines are all about New Zealand rugby - but only about which coach the Welsh Rugby Union can filch from the antipodes.
Wales are looking for their 14th head coach in 21 years after they missed out on the World Cup quarters to Fiji.
The back page is full of New Zealand coaching targets, and there has been some jocular questioning of Graham Henry and Steve Hansen to see if they might return.
The front page is equally wacky, with a story about a Cardiff family of six, on holiday in a Porthcawl caravan park, who won $21 million in the lottery and declared they would all buy separate caravans at the same park.
Someone from the WRU should head out to Porthcawl and persuade them to part with their money in the interests of Welsh rugby.
While the bosses have spoken about the need to reconstruct Welsh rugby but have refused to walk the plank, they have sacked coach Gareth Jenkins after six wins in the last 20 games.
Nick Mallett and Eddie Jones have already declared no interest, and Warren Gatland has apparently mentioned he is being pursued by another country. However, former NZRU and WRU chief executive David Moffett has fanned the flames by suggesting Welsh officials should be flying to New Zealand now to entice Gatland.
Former coaches Mike Ruddock and Scott Johnson have also been highlighted as targets to return, while Robbie Deans is everyone's No 1 target.
The only Kiwi of any pedigree who has not been touted as a contender is John Mitchell, who led the All Blacks at the last World Cup, coached in Ireland, at Sale, and was Sir Clive Woodward's assistant with England.
Oh, and Wayne Smith, Mitchell's predecessor as All Black coach and these days assistant to Henry. No inquiries yesterday were aimed at him.
