Kidwell joined the New Zealand national rugby league team as an assistant coach in 2014. After Stephen Kearney left the role of being the head coach of the New Zealand national team in 2016, Kidwell was later appointed as the new Kiwis head coach, Kidwell oversaw a brief but embarrassing era for New Zealand Rugby League in which they lost two World Cup matches to tier-2 nations, and fluked a draw against another in the 2016 Four Nations tournament. A series of critical failures in team culture and management led to disappointing results and a mass exodus of players. One notable lowlight was Kidwell somehow forgetting to play Jason Taumololo for most of a loss against Australia. Taumololo then defected to Tonga, who defeated New Zealand in a World Cup pool match. Kidwell was replaced by a competent coach after failing to make the semi-finals of the 2017 World Cup.
