Wondering which pro teams have had the biggest number of their players become full time professional rugby coaches.
I imagine it's obvious that crusaders is number one, but how do other teams compare?
The crusaders always had a culture of everyone thinking about the game, everyone having their say, and I think this led to a lot of them wanting to become coaches. From props to fullbacks.
In fact here is a whole 23 of crusaders who have become pro coaches. Yea no halfback reserve as such, but Delaney could play there. Kevin senio is a coach of an amateur team and I imagine he or fotualii will become a pro coach at some stage.
Anyway here it is
Dave Hewitt,
Mark Hammett,
Greg feek,
Todd Blackadder,
Brad thorn,
Pat lam,
Matt Todd
Scott robertson
Scott Hansen,
Tyler bleyendaal,
Joe maddock
Aaron mauger
Daryl gibson
Jared Payne
Leon Macdonald
Reserves: Ben franks, Dan Perrin, Nick white, Ross filipo, mike Delaney, tabai matson, Casey laulala
Wider squad
Ruben Thorne, Shane Christie, Tom Donnelly, Nasi Manu
So 27 I could find
