The Mike Hosking Breakfast · Dave Rennie: All Blacks Coach on taking over from Scott Robertson, the new direction for the team · 14 May 2026 podcast

But the game has changed a bit.

It's very strong up north, and I think that's really good for the game.

But I think we've got to be clear on how we want to play the game and not necessarily copy what everyone else is doing.

Well, I think when you take on a role like this, you've got to take all the responsibility that goes with it too.

There's no point hiding behind other stuff.

My job is to, with the quality of the staff that we've got, make a difference and grow our group and make good decisions on the field that help you win tight test matches.

you can't get away from that responsibility.

Yeah, I'm...

Yeah, look, I reckon if you haven't seen Japanese rugby, you may think it's low-level, but there are a lot of high-quality international players playing over there, a lot of the South African team are there, and a lot of former All Blacks and so on.

But he had 12 years of travelling the globe with the Chiefs and with the All Blacks, so I think he felt he'd accomplished a lot of things.

Yeah.

and can base himself and call down.

He earns very, very good money and, and, uh, lives a good lifestyle over there and he's still playing phenomenal rugby.

And so, um, I, yeah, I definitely believe he's good enough to still be an All Black.

And I guess I'm raising questions around, you know, having access to our very best who are doing the right to go overseas and cash in because I've contributed massively here and,

and is there a potential to bring them home if they're still playing well enough?

Yeah, well, I think so.

So there's a few more discussions to be had around that.

Yeah, interesting.

Yeah, I mean, obviously, Steve, look, there's a bit of accuracy around the refereeing.
