Darren Shand, much respect & appreciation, Manager of the All Black's for twenty years +(20 years+). I love the AB's & an avid loyal supporter & fan. I'm envious of your position you held & being right in amongst one of the greatest best rugby team in the world. You would have seen the highs, lows & the rewards of the AB's journey. Hopefully you can write a book of your journey with the AB's. That'll be amazing to read.
People like Shandy are the unsung heroes of our rugby World Cup successes. Part of the fabric of why the ABs brand is so so successful. Ask the players & im sure they’ll tell you! Top top bloke! 🙌🏾💪🏾
Awesome interview with some interesting facts and stories.....and to hold a position of that calibre for 20+ yrs....you are a legend of NZ Rugby Darren Shand 👏
Really enjoyed this episode! So fascinating to hear about the business side of things, and the discussion of the "legends" brought in to chat to the team. The episodes keep getting better and better!
That was a great show, Mr Darren Shand gets my shout for an encore 🖤, Had heard of JPauls Buckingham Palace experience before, good on him for not keeping it hush, hush, he looked slightly reluctant to say it, he was young - with his mates, it's a hard case story. He must have a few more too, with a name like Ming the Merciless!!
With Marchie next to him he would have been called -out straight away if he was bullshiting …..just realize how important his job and pressure to have it all together for the AB at home and on tour.
Stealing cutlery from Buckinham Palace is wild lol. That's why the allblacks pick people over players. You can't be pulling that shit. Though in saying that. Colesy probably has a whole dinner set 😂
Typical of Marshall to turn the discussion back to what happened to him. It’s not always about you, mate. I know that’s impossible for your ego to accept, but give it a rest. We’ve heard more than enough about how great you are, mostly from you. Those days are long gone. Just do the fecking interview.
Darren who? Just an admin guy that pretends to understand the rugby side and what it takes to be an All Black - similar to the mess the English RFU got into
Exactly!!! An Admin guy who understands the complexities of running a business and hence why he beat out great All Blacks like Sean Fitzpatrick, Andy Dalton & Andy Haden for the role!!!

GBRANZ has had some of the best Rugby chats I’ve ever heard and it’s only been around for a few months. So good.
I remember shands appearance at the 2013 ellis park test where he had to explain to nigel owens the team sheet was wrong.😂 legend. 🐐
And the look on Jean De Villiers face when Shand said “It’s just a typo”

This was awesome, I could listen to him for hours, and great questions from the crew👍
Darren Shands work on the business end needs to be studied. Very Underrated operator.

Love this program - from a Saffa
Great episode
Great insight!
Great listen boys 👍
You can't help but draw parallels between Marshall's experience and what happens in the business world.
With Marchie next to him he would have been called -out straight away if he was bullshiting …..just realize how important his job and pressure to have it all together for the AB at home and on tour.
Mealamu started the 2011 rwc final fyi
Amazing but small insight into the oft posed "if these walls could talk" question.
Shands… Nonu is out of rongotai not wainui.
So much better than the uk version. I watch this rather than the uk version. Excellent.
Awesome more like this one off field
Top job team.
Nonu was a Rongotai boy, not Wainui....jus sayin
Can’t believe cheika bugged the room lol for real
❤❤❤

Fossie being on a million a year probably helped his composer, shandy.
Why did he leave the all blacks
Poor Robbie ,,,,then razor gives him the heave

Why does he talk like a hori
Your comment cracked me up ...A decade around All Blacks definitely helped, he might have grown up around alot of us also.🤣
Schooled in Hastings
Its not that hori😂🤦♀️🤦♀️

Missed the whole point. Well done. You must be proud.
Only ABs manager for 20 odd years 🤦
