And the role that humility played in bringing this to life. How by the time he was appointed All Blacks Coach he had learnt the importance of empowerment and moving from a coach driven environment to a team driven environment. And how this was the catalyst for the leadership groups he put in place. The way the difficult decision he has made in his life have gone on to benefit him in the longer run.

All Blacks Coach, Ian Foster, told Mike Hosking that getting to this point wasn't easy, but it helped build the team's character. He said that a little adversity never killed anyone, as long as you don't sulk about it but you do roll your sleeves up and get stuck into it.

Today's guest is one of the country's great All Blacks, Kieran Read. Not only did he captain the side 52 times, but was capped 128 times for New Zealand, won two World Cups, and four Super Rugby titles for the Crusaders. A huge rugby career that he stepped down from in 2021. As you'll hear, life after rugby is going really well for Kieran, and he has possibly one of the most random Kiwi Yarns quickfire answers I've ever heard (hint: the last one!). Oh yeah, and he thinks Razor should be the next All Blacks Coach!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I have always loved Scott Robertson. He should have been, should be, the All Blacks Coach. I've loved watching him make the Crusaders one of the great global sporting stories.Part of it also is I am from Christchurch and I love Christchurch. But I don't love how the city has so badly lets itself down since the earthquake. The gaps you still see 11 years on are inexcusable.It's been made worse this past week with yet another blowout for the stadium. Every city needs at least one proper stadium.We have, for years, had Melbourne as the example just across the way. We have admired their facilities and their approach and yet never really learned the lesson.The lesson for Christchurch was the opportunity not to be missed in the rebuild. The best small city in the world was the goal and what an admirable sentiment. There are signs, there is building, and infrastructure. It gives you a sense it is possible. But the gaps are the reminder of the damage of procrastination.So Robertson, post his victory over the Reds, Speaks so eloquently for so many of us. "Leaders need to be brave," he says. "And if we don't, we are going to be hung out as a public and as a generation.""Why are we not brave? Why are we showing so much hesitancy? We have been through too much for somebody not to be brave and now is the opportunity for us to do that.""Build and bring to life our inner city. Build the heart of it so people will come from overseas and see something we can be really proud of. We're the Melbourne of the south. We're a great sporting city, region and we love all our arts and we got all the music - it's all there for us. We are a great sporting city and region. And we love all our arts and we've got our music. It's all there for us.""Leaders march on be brave."It's perfectly put and from a bloke who most of us have large amount of admiration for. The sad thing is he has to say it, pleading for progress is a sign the leaders he talks of are absent.Christchurch is not alone in its malaise. The whole country lacks a certain aspiration these days. But Christchurch specifically has been at it for 11 years and counting.The city deserves better and they deserve more people like Robertson.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
