Sir Graham “Ted” Henry led the All Blacks to win the 2011 Rugby World Cup and was named IRB Coach of the Year a record five times. He was also responsible for New Zealand’s worst ever performance at a Rugby World Cup.

In this episode, Ted talks about:

• The coaching loss that is etched in his brain
• The relationship between invincibility and disaster
• How to build a culture of being the best in the world
• The All Blacks system that took a player from rookie to world-class in 18 months
• The trick he used with the Black Ferns (that he wished he could have tried with the All Blacks)
