Dave Rennie on Sir Graham Henry, Richie Mo'unga & All Blacks Captaincy | FULL PRESS CONFERENCE

The new era of the All Blacks is taking shape, and it involves a very familiar face. Sir Graham Henry returns as a selector, bringing a veteran's eye and a legacy of leadership to the group. In this press conference, Dave Rennie breaks down why he brought the World Cup-winning coach back into the fold and how their first conversations have already sparked a massive list of potential talent. From juggling coaching roles in Japan to the future of Brodie Retallick and the search for the next All Blacks captain, no stone is left unturned. Dave talks about the "middle tier" talent drain and whether New Zealand Rugby can afford to lose players to massive overseas contracts.
