Mark Hammett

The cohort of athletes we had in that period The vast majority of them have stayed in the game and gone on and done really big things.

You know, talk about Razor and Sam and Kieran, but you've got Mark Hammett, you've got Matt Sexton, Steve Lancaster's now the CEO of New Zealand Rugby, Mark Robinson, previously the CEO.

I mean, it's a hell of an alumni.

And they're all inspired by that period of time, being in that group together.

He was a young pup, and I got him into the Southland team, and then...

It was Aaron Major and Mark Hammett coaching Otago, and I said to them when I came down to Southland to have a look – coaching the Highlanders, sorry.

I said, you need to keep an eye on this kid.

He tends to do things first and ask questions later.

Some great notes.

Who's who of future coaches in that team, by the way, for the All Blacks? Tana Umunga, Scott Robin, Tony Brown, Leon McDonald, Mark Hammett, Todd Blackadder.

They were all in that side.

11 tries it was.
