When it comes to coaching journeys, few New Zealanders have experienced as much variety and success as Sir Graham Henry.
On Tuesday, the legendary All Blacks coach joined Sport Nation's Millsy & Guy for an extended chat, in-depth conversation reflecting on his rugby journey.
Henry spoke about the lessons learned through Wales, the British & Irish Lions and his time leading the All Blacks - from the pain of the 2007 World Cup exit to the highs of their 2011 triumph on home soil.
Henry also raises concerns about aspects of the modern game, particularly law changes he believes may limit attacking rugby, as well as the modern trend away from coach-driven teams to player-led leadership.
All that, life on Waiheke Island with gardening, fitness, and a whole lot more.
