[QUOTE="donmcdazzle, post: 979826, member: 44093"] Rennie is a genuinely good coach and a good talent spotter. You have more than enough raw talent in Aussie for him to make a good side. This is a great signing, as a NZ fan I was worried you'd get him for what that is worth. He builds really good team cultures and gets good players to play above their talent level. Did wonders with Manawatu when he coached there before the Chiefs. Even at the Chiefs, mediocre players were awesome for him (Craig Clarke, Andrew Horrell a couple of examples). He has always been good at getting the best from Pacific Islanders / Maori players too, this will probably help given the demographics of the Aussie team nowadays. SBW, Tim Nanai-Williams, Hika Elliot, Ben Tameifuna, Liam Messam, Tanerau Latimer are a couple of guys who played their best rugby those 2 years at the Chiefs when they went back to back. Even guys like Tikoirotuma, Taumalolo went from decent ITM cup players to good Super players under his watch. [/QUOTE]
