Leon MacDonald is poised to land at an unexpected destination in his first rugby role since departing the All Blacks in August.

Five tests into last year’s test season, MacDonald left his post as All Blacks attack coach due to irresolvable differences with head coach Scott Robertson.

The Herald reports MacDonald is to join the Western Force in a short-term director of rugby role where he will work with head coach Simon Cron - a fellow New Zealander.

Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave explains further.
