I’m sorry the expectations on your team are low but the first step to getting help is admitting there is a problem.

Brumbies fans are pleasantly surprised with a win against any NZ team.

Do you live in Auckland? Wellington? Hamilton? And that’s how you know what their fans believe?

Fuck off this isn't true.. I really expect to beat kiwis every game.. We did a pretty good job of it through the season when not resting.. talk about your own fans.

Slims right no one in New Zealand expected to beat the Crusaders... and they didn't...

Not so 'Smart Rugby': Putting the Australian coaching education system under the spotlight

More work needs to be done to improve the training of professional rugby coaches in Australia.
www.theroar.com.au
“The biggest indictment on the state of rugby coach education in Australia is the progression of Level 2 coaches to the Level 3 course, especially in the most populous rugby states (NSW and Queensland).

This course is by application only, with approximately 20 places available each year in NSW and Queensland, while the course is run in other states with lower numbers. Last year, there were over 100 applications in each of those two states for these places – that is right, over 100 coaches wanting to get better and 80 per cent of them not getting the chance.

I certainly was believing for the Blues and my Waikato family thought the Chiefs would win.

I will also say same, I a Canes man, and I always think going into every game they play, I honestly think they can win it. And genuinely believe it, I know at times you also know a few trhings have to go right for them, but believe they have the goods to do it.

So there is clearly the demand there. If RA want to do something to build the base and thus the game, put some funding into that.

Knowing there is demand, Rugby is likely to start charging like a Private School.

They tell you that certain things are needed to move ahead but then can't facilitate your ability to do them. Completely ass about.

Anyone else that has done some of these levels will also know how questionable some of it is anyway.

The article does also state this.

But for all the talk about needing good systems, there's minimal of such in place

Coaching needs to be of good standard but also made available to meet the demand.

Oh - do you live in Aotearoa? The NZ fans on this forum have said they expected our teams to beat the Crusaders. I know the family I have back in Aotearoa expected the same.

I don't see the same belief in Brumbies fans.

Steve Anderson in the Roar article I've posted before:
"It’s not just the player, we’ve got to develop the coach.”

He pointed to the coaching drain across Australia, where highly respected figures like Mick Byrne who was world-renowned at the All Blacks has been waved goodbye, as an area that needs urgent attention.

“We’re very good at technical and tactical here in Australia, but it’s the broader system of your pathway and your elite development programs in coaching and playing that need to be attended to,” he said.

“I’ve always been very big in high-performance in developing the coach, the individual coach and what areas do they want to specialise in.

“At the moment, if I wanted to be a defensive coach at an elite level, what’s our mentoring program? What are we offering that particular individual? That’s what we’re missing. A lot of it is left up to the individual to pursue his or her development when we should have something framed that supports that journey of that particular person. Not everyone wants to be a head coach.”
