No wonder having Mick as Drua coach was a huge win in terms of marrying structure with flamboyance together and it's been showing despite being a work in progress.

Exciting stuff Coach.. 🇫🇯 Drua is so lucky to have you as coach. Vinaka vakalevu 👏💙🏉🌴

That was a fascinating conversation. The content you guys are putting out is outstanding. It always is but recently it’s been next level. Any chance of a second episode every week with a focus on international rugby since we’re leading into RWC 👀 could do analysis in different teams, different guests from other countries, squad predictions etc.. would be awesome. Doesn’t have to be televised like this one is, just a seperate one kinda like how the Breakdown has a seperate podcast segment every week.

Smart coach love his vision - Experience wisdom and knowledge (AFL, Rugby League, Rugby Union)

Vinaka Mick Byrne, the man from down under and the top coach for the Drua's ongoing success. Mate, we appreciate your work and insights you brought to the team. Love the science and psychology behind your work, you don't seem to over complicated things, great job ! Under your leadership, you've rised and coach successful individuals, teams and many more... results dont lie... and thank u once again🎉

Great interview Coach..you are Very Smart

A few top players cannot pass from left to right...says Mick I agree with him

This was one skill that Ben Ryan worked on for the Fiji 7s team.

Great call getting Mick Byrne on the show. Good one lads.

I love this podcast it’s like listening to mates chat about rugby it’s not really scripted like the breakdown which is still a good show to watch but this is just so much better

Mick Byrne. Awsome.

Fijian Drua are 7th after the regular season. They make their first playoffs after just 2 years in Super Rugby. Vinaka Coach Mick.

If only Fiji Rugby can make him the national head coach for Fiji. That would be really awesome.

Loved this, Mick is an interesting guy with a lot of knowledge. I think he’s brought a lot to help the Drua succeed. But I think we also have to look at the parallel, Mauger at Moana. It’s just not working at Pasifika and it didn’t work out at the Landers. Imagine getting a guy like Mick in at Moana!!! Can they get Schmidt or W. Smith? Boyd? Foster? Someone who can bring what Mick brings to the Drua.

you're right there! Mauger might be good as an Assistant, but probably not as a Leader.....

In Mick we trust

Great interview with a super clever guy. Really interesting to hear from guys like these who you know have been working in the background and making a big difference but you don’t really hear from much. I reckon any team would love to have access to his knowledge.

The things I'd do for a second weekly show from these blokes. Top show as per usual men. Much appreciated!

Thank you Coach Mick for sharing your knowledge through this interview as well as the important role skills coaches play in a team. Looking forward to tomorrow's game.

Such an awesome watch, Mick Byrne you legend!

How we do, not what we do. What a great philosophy,

Great show, I have lived and worked on Irish TV for years and have seen their rise over the years, a lot of that has come through the development of their looseforwards in particular. In Van de Flier and Doris they have probably the form 8 and 7 in he world. From what I have seen Barrett is the best option at 6. He carries well, is a big man, and offers another great lineout option. I think he needs to have some more game time in that position. One thing is for sure, NZ will come up against some big packs in the world cup, not least France and Ireland. Over the past few years NZ have struggled a bit to gain the edge up front physically, Barrett will help address that.

Mick the genius,hugely missed.

Awesome guys

Good show

Question for the panel - Joey Wheeler called Freddie Burns a "band aid" fix for the Highlanders. Mitch Hunt has unfortunately hit a rough patch of form, and Cam Millar is out with injury. Is it time for Sam Gilbert to make the switch to 10 permanently? He's obviously got the skill set, kicks goals with high accuracy, can score and put players away, seems to me like the answer is already on the park. Thoughts?

Chiefs are going to get over the Brumbies - as a Brumby supporter - Chiefs playing beautiful rugby.. great to see Dmac playing free..

Jordie at #6 for ABs this world cup, lessgoo!

With the chat about All Black 7's if you want a defensive work horse surely it would be Du'Plessis Kirifi right now. 24 tackles against MP in 60 minutes.... in a performance where the hurricanes were dominant offensively. Hurricanes might have one of the best loose forward trios. Although I’m probably a bit biased.

Great show. Although they could have asked Mick his thoughts about the Blues shoddy kicking game...

Cheers for the show. Question: what do you guys thunk about rugby only having 20 kicks per game. Do you think this could make teams think more about priority of kick and potentially increase time of ball in play. This could speed the game up and also change alot of other areas from tactics to player fitness

This also applies in the work place we call it continuous improvement of thinking outside the □ box to fine tune the process of where you started to where you are & the steps a lot more simpler in methodology and will continue to fine tune that there is a is always a ,better way different ways at looking at a problem & solving any way to improve what ever the application in the field you operate in..

Are you guys allowed to cover the World Sevens series? Or is there a strict 15s agenda for the show? I'm sure there are probably shows or forums dedicated to sevens coverage out there, but on a weekend where both national sides clinch their competitions, it seems somewhat like a missed opportunity to not show them some love/give them a shoutout?

7s is meh.

Obvious knock on..... in general the ref setup had a shocker.

I watched that so called obvious knock on a few times and must say I couldn't see the ball actually touch Williams hands , but it definitely did come of his body ,if that was the case then no knock on in my books !

You can see how much the All Blacks skill level has declined since Mick Byrne left in 2015.

Bloke was an AFL player, never understood how he managed to coach rugby, such a different game. Kicking I could learn from Mick the Kick, but what is he going to know about mauling, passing or tackling.

I think just a completely different perspective bro especially about space and how to utelize it and take advantage of it with a variety of skills. When you spend a lot of time in one thing, you can become indoctrinated with the common ideologies in that thing which can make it hard for you to see things in different ways. And sometimes somebody can come in and have a completely different view which is obviously what Mic was able to do.
