Boyd’s coaching journey began with the first coaching role was as coach of Tawa Rugby Club, where he spent nine years from 1989 to 1998. He then took over as Wellington’s second XV coach before becoming assistant coach of the Wellington Lions in 2003. From 2006 to 2008 he was assistant coach to John Plumtree at the Sharks Super Rugby club in South Africa. He has since worked at the International Rugby Academy of New Zealand as a coaching services advisor, and was defensive coach of Tonga’s national team at Rugby World Cup 2011. Boyd was also appointed as the Wellington Lions head coach in 2011, and took up the same role with New Zealand Under 20 a year later. As Hurricanes head coach he has taken the team to back to back Super Rugby finals. JOHN PLUMTREE POSITION: ASSISTANT COACH Plumtree joined the Hurricanes in 2015, but is no stranger to Super Rugby or Wellington. He was both assistant and head coach of the Durban-based Sharks Super Rugby team between 2008-2012 before a stint as the Irish national team’s forwards coach in the build up to the 2015 Rugby World Cup. Plumtree was the Wellington Lions head coach from 2001-2006, taking them to the finals in 2003, 2004 and 2006. Born in Taranaki he had a successful playing career as a flanker, with 40 caps for his home province before shifting to South Africa where he played 80 matches for the Natal Sharks from 1988 to 1997, winning two Currie Cup medals in 1990 and 1996. Widely credited as being a master of defence, he brings an array of skills to the Hurricanes coaching set up. 4 | HURRICANES 2017 INVESTEC SUPER RUGBY SQUAD GUIDE CHRIS EVES REGGIE GOODES POSITION: Prop POSITION: Loosehead prop PHYSICAL: 1.87m | 117kg PHYSICAL: 1.84m | 112kg DATE OF BIRTH: 11.12.87 DATE OF BIRTH: 04.04.92 in Whitbank, South Africa SUPER RUGBY GAMES: 45 SUPER RUGBY GAMES: 60 SUPER RUGBY POINTS: 5 (1t) SUPER RUGBY POINTS: 35 (7t) SUPER DEBUT: 2014 v Sharks in Durban SUPER DEBUT: 2012 v Chiefs in Hamilton PROVINCE: Manawatu PROVINCE: Wellington PROVINCIAL CAPS: 30 PROVINCIAL CAPS: 45 PROVINCIAL POINTS: 20 (4t) PROVINCIAL POINTS: 25 (5t) PROVINCIAL DEBUT: 2013 v Hawke’s Bay in Napier PROVINCIAL DEBUT: 2010 v Tasman in Wellington TEST CAPS: 0 TEST CAPS: 0 TEST POINTS: 0 TEST POINTS: 0 TEST DEBUT: - TEST DEBUT: - THE HURRICANES SAY...

  • Captaincy and Leadership in Rugby Union
    Captaincy and Leadership in Rugby Union HELP, Second Year List of contents 1. Introduction 2. The Four Captains 3. The Views of The Captains 4. Comparing and Contrasting the Captain’s Views 5. Interim Conclusions: Part One 6. Quali - Quantitative Survey 7. Interim Conclusions: Part Two 8. Leadership in Life 9. Overall Conclusions and Learnings 10. What Have I Learned? 11. Appendices 1. Introduction In this project, I am going to either prove or disprove two hypotheses: • firstly, that the position of a rugby player will make a difference to what they think a great captain is; and • secondly, that for a captain to be great, they do not have to be the best in their position. I will prove or disprove these hypotheses through the following research: • conducting semi-quantitative surveys • reading and analysing 4 great rugby captains’ autobiographies (qualitative research) and their views on leadership and captaincy • and finally wider online research. Rugby is a sport and subject that I am very passionate about, and I aspire to play at the highest level. Currently I play for Hampton U13 Bs and my club (Twickenham) first team. I find captaincy interesting as I think it takes great skill and certain characteristics to be a good captain let alone a country-leading world-famous great captain. My personal experiences of rugby captaincy have been periodically with my school team and regularly for my club. My personal view of rugby captaincy based on my experiences is that you need to be the hardest-working player on the pitch at all times – you may not be the most skilled, but you can be the hardest-working, and respect from your team- mates and from your coaches comes from this work ethic.

  • Forward Momentum
    Forward momentum JIM TUCKER finds out what Taranaki rugby is doing to make more history: “It was the BBC - Brown, Briscoe and Carroll.” So began the front page story in the Taranaki Herald Sports Edition one Saturday in 1959. It was one of an endless string of puns the paper’s rugby writer used to chronicle extraordinary feats by Taranaki’s late-50s Ranfurly Shield holders. The monikers so playfully employed above – it could easily have been Burke, Boon and Cameron - are a distant memory for most of today’s generation. But they’re far from forgotten at Taranaki Football Rugby Union HQ in Yarrow Stadium. As the photograph of TRFU chief executive Mike Collins shows, that great team dominates one whole wall of the meeting room, and as the union gears up to repeat last year’s win in the ITM inter-provincial rugby competition, the names of Peter Burke, Ross Brown, Kevin Briscoe, Ralph Carroll and company resonate as never before. One reason is the current team already rivals the ‘59ers on at least one measure – the number of All Blacks in its ranks While Taranaki had six at various stages between 1957 and 1960, today’s team has five, with more in the offing. It also has eight Maori All Blacks, (including captain Charlie Ngatai, also an All Black), and two in the Junior All Blacks. Not that any of this is particularly at the forefront He says the academy managers, Willy Rickards of Mike Collins’ mind as he and his team prepare and Adam Haye, spotted Vaeno during some high for the ITM Cup season, which began with a school first fifteen games.

  • Jim Tucker, Puke Ariki
    Mellow Yarrow he story behind the plight of Yarrow Stadium is full of “what-ifs” and “with-the-benefit-of-hindsights”. T What if they hadn’t built Taranaki’s premier rugby ground in a swampy valley? What if the NIMBY neighbours around Sanders Park in Westown had accepted the first plan to build Rugby Park there in 1927? With the benefit of hindsight, should the playing field have been laid west-to-east instead of north-south, so the grandstands weren’t built on fill? Now that both stands have been declared earthquake-prone, a lot more what-ifs loom over the investigation into what can be done with the stadium...including the big one – can it stay there? Although Yarrow Stadium may never again attract crowds as big those during last century's Ranfurly Shield eras and international games – nearly 40,000 - memories of extraordinary occasions linger within most Taranaki family histories. We’ve got too much in to abandon the place, and initial alarm has been displaced by determination to fix it. WORDS: Jim Tucker PHOTOS: Jim Tucker, Puke Ariki Mellow Yarrow, Live, August issue 2018 DRAFT 1 f he was still alive, there’d be nobody more shocked than James McLeod (above) at the news Yarrow Stadium’s stands have been declared an earthquake risk. He died in I 1944 after a distinguished career as a politician, chair of the Taranaki Rugby Football Union for more than 30 years, manager of the provincial team and at least one All Black touring team – and the man most responsible for building Rugby Park.
