John Hart just gave me a wee chubbie. Good man manager, not afraid to call a spade a spade adn address poor performance. Outstanding.

@Nepia In 1999, it should have been Umaga 13, Wilson 14, Cullen 15. Umaga's performance in that semi final was really, really poor. But I suspect lack of power in the forwards and weak morale in the squad were more fundamental problems.
Tana should be fine as an Assistant Coach. Finally John Hart has selected him in the right position.

@nzzp Has he addressed his poor performance when he played Cullen at 13 and Wilson at 15.
Not holding a grudge for too long, eh
Look, I'd have spat on his horse with the next guy at the time, but right now his business and governance experience is what the franchise needs. It's great to see some old heads coming back and being listened to... in this case in the back office rather than actively coaching.
Also, Mark Carter. FFS.

They do and it's a poor policy if it extends to Super Rugby head coaching positions (which I don't believe it does).
It's clear from the article and previous moves the NZRU have been behind they want an ex-AB to step in and sprinkle Crusader-dust on the team... which has worked well at the Hurricanes, Warratahs, Wallabies, Cardiff...
