Seen and heard no promotion for this documentary, but just happened to see it's apparently premiering on Sky Sport 1 tonight at 7.30 pm.
-
@chris-b seen it pop up lots on my FB feed...I dont have sports so will wait until Prime chuck it up
-
Doco was fantastic.
Compulsory viewing.
-
hope it turns up across the tasman so I can see it.
-
yeah hope we get it. i watched the amazon ABs doco series following the lions tour and 4N.. bit of a fluff piece with some goodish insights from select players but very good comments from Hansen. The times where they are micd up at training is pretty good stuff.

I've been looking for the ABs doco vs the Lions, but struggling. Anyone shoot me a PM with tips on how to access it from NZ?

@nzzp subscribe to Amazon Prime for a 30 day free trial.

@toddy yep, that's what I did and all good, although I can only watch in a browser rather than the app for some reason.
I'd forgotten that we were pretty flaky last year but for some flashes of dominance. I've readjusted my expectations for this season. We're a fair way away from being that juggernaut we'd all got used to during Richies time which is understandable but the doco has the coaches pretty frustrated with the team last year.
The doco is made for the yanks with all the dramatic sound effects and personal insights but it's a good recap of last year's season
Watching it is nice way to "mentally prepare " for this weekend

so we're doing documentaries on assistant coaches now?

He was an All Black player, an All Black coach, and one of the greatest coaching technicians in the history of the sport whose attention to detail helped win back-to-back World Cups. But if you wanna reduce him to merely an “assistant coach,” hey, by all means knock yourself out.

Does the video get into how he stuffed up the Magpies in his run as CEO.
Yeah, I can hold a grudge ....

no matter what he does, no matter how glittering the career, one hiccup and the Magpies will shit on you for ever
Got to love NZ eh, it's the parochialism that makes us great. -
@nepia His time in the Bay is discussed in the vid, although obviously from his perspective
... there may even have been a few frames of footage of the Central Vikings as well ...

I'm quoting because of Christian Cullen.
Fark it, I'll leave this here:

The Aussies are try hard Americans so they often say Resume instead of (the other words) - lots of them like to use American spellings as well - although that might just be because they let Microsoft Word do their spelling for them.

Wayne says he took the Hawkes Bay job because he knew nothing about running an organization and thought it would be a vital skill for his future.
He may or may not have given Hammer his play book.

You expected something else on the Fern?

You're a bad, bad man.
-
@infidel Yeah - lots of insights - especially around the earlier years.
Wayne doing almost all the talking was different to what I thought it would be.
-
@nepia That's pretty much what Wayne said.
Now, sing it with the Monkees - "Aaiiiiii'm not your stepping stone...."!

shit he was fast!
Extremely. Great fend and swerve too. How the fuck was Caleb Ralph an AB ahead of him?
-
@mn5 cause Caleb Ralph played for Canty.
-
Watched this last night. Saw so many games at which I was a spectator. Very happy memories!
The culture Wayne brought to the Canterbury team continues today in the Crusaders.
Interestingly he praised Grizz as an innovator and an astute tactician. Somewhat at odds with his generally perceived persona. -
@wally A large number of NZ coaches trace back to that 1980s team of Grizz's - Smith, Hansen and Deans among the second generation, and now a heap in the third generation.
-
Yep. Mauger, Gibson, Razor, Hammett, Hewitt, MacDonald, Blackadder, Matson, Feek, Somerville.
And, no doubt, a few others. -
Finally watched the Wayne Smith doco. What else can you say but "Bloody Legend". What a great watch (apart from his try in Bernie's Corner to take the shield). The back story about him losing the ABs head coach job in 2002, his return, 2007 2011(still hard to watch) and 2015, he is a national rugby treasure

Funny you should mention 2011 being hard to watch. I watched my recording of this doco the other night. I punched the air when they showed Beaudy gather that kick and score at the end of the 2015 rwc final. Love it.

I've never watched 2011 on tv, despite having it on my old now dead sky machine. One time at EP was enough
