The Leicester Tigers are in talks with former All Blacks coach Graham Henry about a potential consultancy role at the English club.
Tigers executive director Peter Wheeler has already met with Henry - who coached the Barbarians alongside Steve Hansen last weekend - in a bid to persuade the World Cup-winning coach to Welford Road.
The Leicester Mercury newspaper says current Tigers boss Richard Cockerill believes a man of Henry's experience would be beneficial to the side.
Henry has said he is not interested in a full-time coaching role, but is keen on some consultancy work in Europe.
