That's a nice read.

I played rugby at a good level when I was younger and there was one coach who stood out from all the others and whose words and actions have stuck with me since. He was from New Zealand and came across and awful lot like Ange comes across. Very personable, very calm, father-figure type guy but still demanding. The type of guy who you'd run through brick walls for. After a season with him I went from starting on the bench for my county to joining Leicester Tigers youth set up and I 100% put that down to having him as a coach.

Some people are just very good at getting the best out of people and it really seems like Ange is that type of guy. Long may it continue.

Very similar experience for me. A rugby coach I had at school, and subsequently at University, had a huge impact on my life, both as a young rugby player and in my general approach to life. Injury back in 1975 cut short my aspirations for international rugby, but the lessons learned have stood to me in my life. Ange has a very similar attitude and demeanour to that coach.
