I love, I love, you know, being innovative in and around rugby and I love showing up to training and, um, you know, trying to make things better.

And I just, you know, I would have thought I could coach with anyone.

So, um,

it wouldn't have been a massive issue for me.

I'm not sure about what happened within the All Black environment.

They didn't seem as though they were playing overly poorly.

There's a few up and down results, but they seem like they're tracking okay and to then just pull stumps and get rid of the head coach has put them in a pretty massive situation around

getting ready for 2026, which is going to be a massive year.

No way.

No way.

I think it's a great opportunity for someone, the next coach who's coming in, whoever that may be, I think the players will be probably excited about starting again and seeing what they can do building into 227 World Cup.

I think the coach is going to

have a little bit of a clean canvas and be able to do some pretty cool things around getting the All Blacks not only through the rugby rivalry and end of year tour, but getting them ready to have a crack at the World Cup.
