Mitchell still keen on ABs job

9:47 am on 18 April 2010

The Western Force and former All Blacks coach John Mitchell has left the door ajar for another go at coaching the All Blacks.

Mitchell was sacked as head coach of New Zealand after they suffered a shock semi-final loss to Australia in the 2003 World Cup.

The 46-year-old has already confirmed he will leave the Force at the end of the 2011 Super 14 season and said he would consider a return to the All Blacks coaching ranks if given the chance.
