  Speaker 1: So who's Dave really going to pick as his assistance?
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Do we read?
• 0:03
  Speaker 3: I've got a strength of surrounding myself with quality of people,
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: and people can make a difference. So I'm keen to
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: bring some people in. Yeah, it's a key part of understanding,
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: you know, who we represent and how we want to
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: be perceived.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Sam Ackerman is with our sports commentator Sam, good morning,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Morning's your roan? How do you reckon you'll pick?
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Well? Listen. I think there needs to be something that
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: will resemble a little continuity. I think Jason Ryan as
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: an assistant coach through a couple of all that coaches,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: now who somebody could stay in the mix outside of that.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I really hope they're names that most people go who.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I want the all assistant coaches to go back to
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: being assistant coaches. Not as important a part of the
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Yourvack structure is what the all back coaches. I want
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: a head coach and the other coaches are come in
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: and do the specialist jobs. I think he's worked with
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: some wonderful ones through the Chiefs and Manawa two. He
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: will look to what he knows here. I don't expect
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: him bring in from overseas at this stage, but I'd
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: think plays people like Andrew Strawbridge who have been a
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: wonderful listen to him in the past and what he
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: achieved in the Chiefs. So hopefully they're going for guys
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: who don't have big profiles and we're not going to
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: take every super rugby head coach like we did under
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: the previous regime. Yeah.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Right, So some anonymous henchman is what we need.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: White Man. What we need is people who don't come
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: in with big profile head coaches working all together don't
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: always make the right max. Assistant coaches know their role
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: a little more.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: No your plays. Why do you think he beat Jamie Joseph?
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Was it because he had a better plan or was
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: it because of what people said about them?
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I think that his reputation with culture. Jamie Joseph is
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: known a lot more hard nosed as a coach than
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Dave Rennie is. Neither you know, both have got strong reputations.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: It's not a crack at either, but Jamie Joseph is
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: a little fed for some of his training methods more
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: rather than David Rennie. So I think that that. I
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: think Dave Rennie's approach to people and the way that
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: he players love to play for him as the person
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I think got him overlying in the end. I also
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: think failure overseas and learning overseas has been a massive
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: part for him.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: To this no loyalties comment that he made. Did Robertson
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: or others have them to our detriment was? Is that
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: necessarily a dig at anyone?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I think it's no loyalties to the current squad. Of
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: course he's going to have loyalties, and when he picks players,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: he'll want to stick with them. He won't be giving
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: a guy go one week and then throwing them outcause
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: he dropped to pass. So he will have loyalties. But
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: to me, I read that as he's not loyal to
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: everybody currently in that frame that said, he isn't even
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: got his hands on the All Acts personally because of
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: his rolls over in Japan until essentially the start of
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: at July windows. So he's going to need to go
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: with some people who know what they're doing at the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: test level, who they are, who the captain is. That's
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: all to.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Come, all right, And now we just got to win
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: some tests and then the World Cup.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Easy, Andy, Andy, Yeah, it was good.
