Latest / Cut The Kak / All Blacks Coaching Job: Prestige or Stress?
Transcript
- Byron: There was question that got thrown around that I thought was pretty interesting ⁓ is, ⁓ you that the All Blacks coaching job is the best rugby union coaching job in the world? Chad: No. I don't think it's what it used to be. I think it's that important, prestigious, if you will, but... Byron: I would say it's the most prestigious coaching job. Chad: that over the spring box. I've had cause it Byron: Internationally, yes. Everyone knows the All Blacks and they know that South Africa is dominant in World Rugby. But if you talk to the average international layman when it comes to rugby, they'll say the All Blacks before they say the Springboks. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think South Africa's had a head coach that hasn't been South African. Chad: No, I can't think of one. Byron: and New Zealand has had many people coach that were not from New Zealand, correct? Chad: But also, have they? Byron: I don't know, I'm fucking asking, I genuinely don't know. ⁓ Chad: I don't think so. They haven't had many. Where is Dave really even from? Byron: My dumb ass just assumes Australia, but... Chad: Have a look here. Byron: No, he's a... he's a kiwi. Chad: He's New Zealand, yeah he's a Kiwi. Byron: Or now I need to ask the question, has the All Blacks had a coach not from New Zealand? Chad: Yeah. But yeah, sorry, back to what we were talking about. No, what? Byron: No, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. Chad: ⁓ I don't think it's the most procedure. think it's probably one of the most stressful jobs because they were so dominant for such a long time that anytime there's a little bit of dip in performance, it's seen as this. Byron: Yeah. ⁓ Chad: horrible thing, which is a shame because that kind of pressures kind of not warranted. But it's gonna be interesting to see. He's obviously got more international experience as a international coach than Razor did. And I feel like they'll be very different coaches because Razor From what I've read online, it kind of seems like what he was trying to do was take what was working at the Crusaders and make the All Blacks the Crusaders. Not going into the All Blacks and making the All Blacks their own entity. I feel like that's kind of what went wrong and I feel like Renny will come in and make the All Blacks the All Blacks again, which is... Byron: Bringing out the best of the Oblacks, yeah. Chad: I'm No, no good. But it only comes in like a month before the greatest robbery. So there is some hope. Byron: Terrifying. Yeah, but talk about the best place to find out what needs to change, then playing the best team in the world. By the rankings, not by my opinion. ⁓ Although at this point, if Ireland win another game or two, they could become world number one. Actually, if Ireland lose a game or two, they could become world number one. We don't actually know. ⁓ Chad: Four times. It is your opinion too. Number one. Yeah. Yeah. But they might just hand over the rugby on. That's a thing to say in mind. Byron: ⁓ also we didn't even talk about it, the Six Nations trophy is gone. Chad: Burnt. I wonder what will happen. Like obviously I don't know if they'll get a new one. Do they just polish like spit shine the other one get the base on it? Byron: Well, they said that one's not repairable. Chad: Yeah, nice. What are they doing with it? Who burns it? I don't even know what happened. I know it got burned, but how? Byron: So now, do you go and...
