  • He put out a statement saying he's loved being back on the grass coaching for both the Blues and the All Blacks, but with the condensed timeframe this year, he will not be applying for any coaching roles that extend beyond the Rugby World Cup.
  • Are we surprised by this, JK?
  • No, not at all.
  • Is it a big loss?
  • I think he'll coach the Blues.
  • Wow.
  • He said coaching roles.
  • Yeah, he said that before.
  • He said coaching roles.
  • He said that before.
  • I don't get that.
  • He's just said he's not gonna do any coaching roles.
  • So you're assuming that Leon McDonald is now, he's gone?
  • I'm assuming that he'll be part of the coaching staff either way.
  • Either way.
  • Either way.
  • Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
  • Either way.
  • Either way.
  • How does that work?
  • Either way.
  • Well, I think there's a, like, I think- What do you know that we don't know?
  • Well, there is- Voce de Corredorio for you this week.
  • So I do know, and you can't actually quote me on this, right?
  • So don't quote me, because it's Voce de Corredorio.
  • So it's true, but not true.
  • I do know that there's going to be up to six on the panel.
  • Yes, up to six.
  • Two from governance, right?
  • Two from management.
  • So internal management.
  • So that's probably Mark Robinson.
  • One coach and one ex-player.
  • And is it Ma'a Nonu?
  • Well, I can't say.
  • But what I can say, what I can say is that the ex-player would be difficult to choose, Mills.
  • I think we need a big Māori or Pasifika representation, and that can come in the coach or the management.
  • But if it was a player, you'd also have to go back a wee bit.
  • You probably couldn't get Rito or Richie because you might see them as favouring the Crusaders.
  • And then if it was someone like Ma'a, is he enough detached to actually not have a bias?
  • And so, but it's going to stay private.
  • And when I first thought about that, I didn't quite agree, Goldie, but I actually do agree.
  • These people have a big job to do.
  • It's a massive selection.
  • And so they'll keep it quiet till afterwards, Mills.
  • So is it you?
  • Are you the ex-player?
  • It's Mills.
  • Hey, I told you not to tell no one.
  • I said to you in the green room, man.
  • Come on, I brought you to the Corredori, whatever you call it.
  • Come on.
  • True, not true?
  • Unavailable, I'm sorry, mate.
  • Unavailable.
  • It's not, mate.
  • The big question is, why do the All Blacks or New Zealand Rugby need this coaching panel?
  • Why did the board not make this decision, Geoff?
  • I look at this and I've had a lot of time to think about this the last couple of weeks.
  • And I look at this- You didn't think about your golf.
  • Clearly, I didn't think about my golf.
  • But I think in 2023, New Zealand Rugby now, I think looking to survive the season.
  • What they're going to do is they're going to put financial and resource support around the All Blacks, right?
  • The decision they're making right now is about 2024 and beyond.
  • And it has to start now.
  • And they need to start building that connection between the All Blacks and New Zealand Rugby going forward.
  • Now, that is going to be different than it's ever been.
  • Because we've now got a different investment into the game who have different expectations.
  • So I think that the interesting part about all this for me is, you know what I would like to have seen?
  • I would like to have seen New Zealand Rugby with its expertise or people inside its organisation make the decision.
  • Because I think they've been talking to these coaches probably for about nine months.
  • They spoke to Scott Robertson last year.
  • They knew who his team was going to be.
  • If they're doing their job, if they've done their research and looked in behind the scenes, look, we've just seen England straight away appoint their coach.
  • Hasn't quite worked out the way they'd planned.
  • Eddie Jones straight away.
  • There's no interview process over there if you've done your back route.
  • What are you going to find out, Sir John Kirwan, in a couple of hours, in a boardroom with six people that you didn't already know about your coaches?
  • People who have coached with you, coached against you.
  • You think you're going to make a decision?
  • I don't necessarily disagree with you, but I do.
  • Well, you will.
  • No, the problem is, like my dad would say, you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.
  • I think they have to go public because they probably went to Razor and said, Razor, why don't you and Jamie go together?
  • Then we don't have to interview anyone.
  • And they both said, nah, actually, I'm going to go.
  • And I think we have two amazing candidates.
  • So they can't just pick one, right?
  • I think if Jamie said no, they'd just go, boom.
  • But I've got two amazing candidates and I think they're going to sit back and go, actually, let's take a real, real good look at this, right?
  • That's why I think the assistants, the assistants are way easier.
  • Because if I'm Leon McDonald, I'm going, do I go, you cannot be loyal to one coach for the sake of the All Blacks if you're the best assistant.
  • Does that make sense?
  • Did that make any sense, Mills?
  • No. Okay.
  • So what I'm saying is that Leon McDonald and Jason Ryan should be available for both.
  • Okay.
  • Because we want the two best assistants.
  • So what the NZR should be doing, I believe, is go, right-o, we've identified these two as great.
  • Can both of you work?
  • Because if we start, like, those three would be pretty good, Tony Brown, Jason Ryan, Leon McDonald, with either of those two coaches.
  • That's what I'm saying.
  • Yeah, so does it mean, why hasn't then, if the assistants are that settled and cemented in, shouldn't they be on the panel about who they work well with?
  • I mean, considering what you're sort of saying.
  • Worker never picks the boss, bro.
  • Never.
  • Well, I think we've got to, I look at this and I look at the rugby expertise that we're talking about, right?
  • The rugby expertise that you need to make these decisions, right?
  • And this is no fault of the New Zealand Rugby Board because there's not a position for that on.
  • But I look at a guy who had integrity and mana and was so well-respected in Sir Brian Lahore, right?
  • He was that guy that you looked up, it represented New Zealand rugby.
  • And so whenever there was some controversy, he was the guy that went out and said, look, we've got this under control.
  • I'm going to give you a perspective from coaching.
  • And he coached.
  • I'm going to give perspective as a former player.
  • Now, where is those people?
  • And from the last 25 years that work for New Zealand Rugby now, who are there?
  • Who understand the legacy of the All Blacks?
  • Understand coaching at the highest level?
  • Who are the people who have actually been involved with the All Blacks in the group that work for New Zealand Rugby now, who can actually help them make this decision?
  • I think it's a really interesting point.
  • I think it's a position that actually, if you remember back, were you both there?
  • I think you might've been.
  • So BJ Lahore got put into the situation because Laurie's team was a bit shaky.
  • And he came in as a coach advisor, right?
  • But he also had that mana.
  • Campaign manager.
  • Yeah.
  • Campaign manager.
  • Yeah, same thing.
  • Yeah.
  • And then he stayed.
  • So he actually created this role and he was amazing.
  • They haven't recreated it.
  • And maybe you've got a good point.
  • Maybe there should be someone that we're going, actually that person is going to be, he's going to have the mana, done the coaching, been a player, and he's going to be that person.
  • Because I would say that someone like BJ Lahore, and unfortunately he's not with us anymore, would be that one of the coaching ex-player that would be easy decision, right?
  • Right now, who would that coach be for you guys?
  • Wayne Smith.
  • He said no.
  • Why did he say no?
  • I think he's boogie boarding in Waihi.
  • You know who the other guy is?
  • It's actually Joe Smith.
  • I mean, you talk about a guy who's now understands the landscape of New Zealand rugby, who has coached- Impossible, mate.
  • Well, I know it's impossible, but what I'm saying is the fact that New Zealand rugby has never had that person.
  • Steve Hansen left, you know, after he left, he was probably a guy that had that level of experience you're talking about.
  • When you start asking the right questions to prepare these people, but they don't work for New Zealand rugby.
  • And for me, it's an all time, it's a every day- A role to be created.
  • Well, there's multiple things I think need to be dealt with.
  • I don't think there's enough rugby expertise from the last 25 years that have been right in there, in the middle of it.
  • It is Wayne Smith, by the way.
  • So why does it matter then if there is a conflict in, you know, whether they've been coached?
  • There's no doubt right now we need someone, right?
  • Integrity.
  • Unless- It's Wayne Smith.
  • Every day of the week.
  • Unless you can just go along with like what England and Australia, just pick one.
  • You know, just have the courage to just pick someone rather than getting a panel to then later on, perhaps- That went well for England.
  • To actually be held accountable.
  • Oh, exactly.
  • That's gone well for England.
  • Yeah, but hold on.
  • You put a process in place, and this is my last point.
  • The CEO- Yeah, you put a process in place for something, all of a sudden, they're the ones that you hold accountable.
  • The CEO of England Rugby did not go by process and look what happened.
  • They got beaten 52 whatever, irrelevant, because they got thumped.
  • Yeah.
  • Well, clearly he didn't do his homework.
  • Right, they changed their coach.
  • Well- But this is- By actually doing it- That's gonna happen to the Wallabies?
  • Well, a bit different.
  • Bit different, mate.
  • When you get Eddie Jones, who's actually been in a World Cup campaign, and he's been in so many.
  • But that's why, damned if you do, damned if you don't, that's why I actually think, you know, do you want Mark Robinson as CEO going, actually, I'm gonna pick that?
  • Or do you wanna have some people around him going, let's take a look at this?
  • I agree, I think there's a role- They should already work for New Zealand Rugby.
  • They should already be there.
  • Yeah, I agree there's a role, and I think that's something that the New Zealand Rugby should look at, at that role.
  • And I think, like you said, it's someone like a Wayne Smith, who actually can go in there and just be like Sir BJ. Jones, but just lastly, Joe Smith said no coaching roles.
  • He's not coaching.
  • There you go, give him that role.
  • Who's gonna coach the Blues?
  • I'm just gonna let these two keep going.
