I love that man. I remember as a young fella being schooled at St. Thomas of Canterbury going into the Canterbury Sports depot on as many Friday nights as I could just to see Smithy. That was the early 1980s when Canterbury was really dominant team and all of those men were our absolute heroes. Smithie was just a skinny dude but man could he play footy?.
What a great move to have him working with both the Women's & Men's teams, an asset for New Zealand pity next year. Once again NZR are slow to react, when we needs all hands on deck now. The 2023 RWC has been coming for 4yrs and they've always putting the All Blacks behind the 8 ball, Smith appointment next year is a fat lot of good for the All Blacks in RWC year.
Smithy's reflection on the Wellington Bledisloe match...I reckon he could have mentioned the greatest try of all time that we scored with that incredible set piece Cristian Cullen try. I reckon he planned that!
A fantatsic interview with a supremely insightful & interesting legend of a coach. Plus wayne smith seems like a really nice & caring human being. Thanks ab podcats. P.S: One of these with steve hanson soon please, hint hint.
It's funny that he rates Micheal Lynagh beside Mark Ella as his 2 top opponents, because Lynagh only went on to become that top 5/8 because Ella retired so early, before that Lynagh was playing at 12 for the Wallies. Always felt like Alan Jones had something to do with that altho Mark say's not.
Yo sup All Blacks Super Rugby homies my favorite All Blacks Super Rugby teams are both the All Blacks Super Rugby Chiefs and the Highlanders. Along with both Pacifika Super Rugby Fijian Drua and Moana Pacifika also both Wallibies Super Rugby the Rebels and the Force yup. Cause my brothers Notorious the Hurricanes although the color yellow is too bright also likes both Drua and Moana along with the Brumbies. Then there's Gangster and Mobster both likes Moana and Drua Gangster is the Blues and Waratahs where as Mobster is Crusaders and the Reds homie yo. Well what I really want to talk about is what's Super Rugbys Future Ambitions as a Cultural Uniqueness in New Innovation of International Global World Sports Festive Rugby Entertainment Provider of Tomorrow's World homie. Yo cause the World is Developing in Technological Cleaner Renewable Advancement and New Zealand has to catch up as we all know it's a New Amazing World out there now homie. You'll need a Smarter Innovative Cultural Festive Sports Rugby Entertainment Infrastructure, how to Entice and Excite New Youthful or Experienced Mature and Young Families to come to watch the Super Rugby games in both sides of the Tasman. Well not so much in the Islands the crowd numbers are insane although Cultural Rugby Festive Futuristic Innovative Entertainment Infrastructural and World Class Catering Hospitality Efficiency is a the Gold Standards of World Rugby Tourism Entertainment homie yup. Restructuring Infrastructure that suits that Viability Effectiveness and Efficiency to draw the Large numbers of New 1st time Experience Youthful Rugby Spectators and only a Large Spectacular Exhilarating, New Exciting Festive Future Rugby Event can bring that Cultural Festive Rugby Innovation to a Global Future World of Tomorrow homie yo. So suggest you need New International Rugby Clubs to play in Super Rugby well as you know Cleaner Fuel Efficent Hypersonic International Air Travel is International Sports New Transportation Service can get to one end of the globe to another in 4 hours. Don't Worry it's a Standard Normality of Professional Air Traveling of Tomorrow now homie yup so with the 12 already Established Super Rugby Teams you'll need 12 Top League Rugby Japanese Clubs with 12 Major League Rugby American clubs. And then you have 7 South American Rugby teams the 2 bottom teams are combined which leaves 6 and with 8 African teams then combine the 3 bottom teams which would leave 6 homie. The eight African teams from 1st to bottom are Namibia, Kenya, Algeria, Zimbabwe and Uganda then combine Ivory Coast, Senegal and Burkina Fasco into one team. And don't worry about Wealthy Professional Educated African or South American Investments in International Hypersonic Air Travel for Rugby Training it just takes only an hour from one end of africa to another homie yup. Of course both Japan and United States Investments in Rugby Sports Global International Entertainment yo then the all New Future Cultural International Festive Sports Super Rugby Entertainment Package. Splitting the New Exciting 48 Super Rugby teams into 4 pools the top pool is the pool of death and that's either out of the Potential Super Rugby Title Champions 2023 the Chiefs or Crusaders would be in that pool. But you'll never know Fijian Drua or Moana are making a case with strong runs for that Super Rugby Honor and Privilege homie there are 3 Super Rugby titles to win there is the Cup, the Shield and the Plate. There would be the 4 Top teams of each pool will go through to the knock out 16 playoffs for the top 8 Quarter finals then Semi final followed Super Rugby Title Champions 2030 homie yup. And there's the Middle 4 of each pool goes through to the knock out 16 for the Super Rugby Shield finals and likewise for the Bottom 4 for the Super Rugby Plate finals. But there is one Very Small Crucial Detail that All Beaten teams from each Pool who did not get to the Knock Out 16 and Quarter Finals has still gotta Play out their Super Rugby Sports Entertainment Contracts right up to All three Super Rugby Championship Final. And What a Special Huge Wonderful Spectacular Exhilarating, Exciting New Innovative Youthful Festive Futuristic Cultural Entertaining Occasive Once in a Lifetime Rugby Experience Enjoyed from All Around the World Lord forever and God Amen Yo💚💯🕊🙏🤲🌏🇳🇿🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️✝️🛡⚖⚔☝💪🥊🦅🦁👑🚀🪖⚓⛑✌🎓🤝🕊🙏🤲🌠🌌🎇✨🪐🛡⚖⚔☝💪🥊🦖🦣👑🚀🪖⚓⛑🖖👽🛸💚💯🏍👊😎.

Yeah, arch conservative Jones couldn't relate to aboriginal Ella, the outcome of which curtailed the career of Australia's best ever no.10.
Mark ella wow
