Mick Byrne made his name as a pioneer in rugby skills coaching. He leads the Fijian Drua Super Rugby Pacific and explains what makes the national team tick.
Mick Byrne made his name as an innovator. After a playing career in Australian rules football, he pioneered the role of the rugby skills coach in England and Scotland, going on to work with the All Blacks for over a decade.
“I’m pretty sure the Wallabies boys will be ready for the Fiji boys, maybe more so than they have been in the past because they’ve experienced playing against them at the Drua. We were fortunate enough to win a couple of games against Australian teams and they have experienced the physicality that the Fijian boys bring to the game.
Byrne loves life in Fiji and has been warmly welcomed by the local people. He confesses to feeling stressed only when the Drua lose, but is still told well done by his rugby-mad neighbours. He is looking forward to the energy the World Cup will bring to the country.
