Story by Ned Lester\/Rugby Pass<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next chapter of\u00a0All Blacks\u00a0rugby will be written by Dave Rennie, and while fans will have to wait until July to get their first taste of what that means for not just\u00a0New Zealand\u00a0but the other international heavyweights, there are some statistics that highlight his coaching philosophies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 62-year-old has won three U20 world championships and two Super Rugby titles, and has since progressed to coach the Wallabies and the Kobe Steelers. Across each of the professional outfits he\u2019s been involved with, a clear priority has been evident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Former All Black\u00a0James Parsons\u00a0broke down the numbers on the\u00a0Aotearoa Rugby Pod<\/em>\u00a0this week, highlighting Rennie\u2019s strength as a coach and his unrelenting commitment to what he sees as the winning formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With an All Blacks coach announcement drawing closer, the Aotearoa Rugby Pod crew breakdown the differences between Dave Rennie and Jamie Joseph\u2019s coaching styles. Watch the latest episode on RugbyPass TV.<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDave Rennie is all about the breakdown, both sides of the ball,\u201d Parsons started. \u201cSo, when the penalty count is high, and both of them (Rennie and Jamie Joseph) have pretty low averages, but I\u2019d say Dave Rennie\u2019s a little bit (inconsistent). Rennie is coaching teams; obviously, he\u2019s not giving the penalties away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhen I say he\u2019s all about the breakdown, they get a high turnover count at the breakdown, and a high penalty count. Because when they get it wrong, they get pinged off the park, and it looks like, based on the stats, that you\u2019re told, \u2018Just keep going\u2019, rather than leaving it and trying to work with the ref.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd then, when they get it right, their turnover count is through the roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo, defensively, all about the breakdown. Attacking-wise, all about the breadkwown. Low offloads, low turnover count; \u2018I\u2019m going through you\u2019 is Dave Rennie\u2019s (attitude).<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou think about the Chiefs, and I know because I had Tom Coventry coach me at North Harbour, and I was always in awe of those two years with the Chiefs, just the way they played, and he said they have this thing called \u2018napalm\u2019, and that\u2019s how they cleaned rucks: you carry, and I\u2019m going to get rid of everyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt was brutal; there was that brutality. And it\u2019s no different wherever he\u2019s (Rennie) gone; Australia, same thing. Dave Rennie, statistically, you\u2019re not going away from it. Even when you\u2019re being penalised, he\u2019s saying, \u2018Rip straight back in there.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat leads to the next point: his average gain-line (success rate) is nearly 70 per cent. That\u2019s over 15 games. That is ridiculous. And then, his dominant carry is just under 40 per cent. Again, over 15 games. That\u2019s\u00a0South Africa\u00a0stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe low turnover count, to me, just says ball-carrier, cleaner, and we\u2019re going to tighten the defence, and then we\u2019re going. We\u2019re going to take that space, whether it\u2019s by a kick or run.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Story by Ned Lester\/Rugby Pass The next chapter of\u00a0All Blacks\u00a0rugby will be written by Dave Rennie, and while fans will have to wait until July to get their first taste of what that means for not just\u00a0New Zealand\u00a0but the other international heavyweights, there are some statistics that highlight his coaching philosophies.
