McKenzie coached the Waratahs in Super Rugby then won the title with the Reds before moving up to the Wallabies.
He knows rugby in this part of the world, he understands the psyche of players and what it takes to put together a Super Rugby franchise.
McKenzie wants to lead, he is methodical and organized and has a rugby brain to deal with all the challenges of arranging a franchise.
Lancaster is 46, has done an apprenticeship in test rugby, he likes New Zealand, he's got plenty of coaching skills to offer and is unemployed.
He's available after getting the boot from England and being snubbed by the same players when he pitched for the Harlequins job.
Lancaster is a strong organizer who would be able to shape his squad and then encourage, much like the All Black model, the technical work of Brown and McLeod to guide and mould the players.
Both men are coaches, one a leader, the other a catalyst for production.
