Graham Henry: podcast appearances and interviews

Sir Graham William Henry, born on June 8, 1946, is a New Zealand rugby union coach, speaker, and author. He is best known for his tenure as the head coach of the New Zealand national rugby team, the All Blacks. Under his leadership, the team achieved significant success, culminating in winning the 2011 Rugby World Cup. Henry's playing career included rugby union for Canterbury and cricket for Canterbury and Otago in the Plunket Shield. Before coaching became his full-time profession, he worked as a school teacher and headmaster. Henry's coaching career included successful stints with Auckland and the Auckland Blues during the 1990s, where he secured multiple National Provincial Championship titles and the inaugural Super 12 title. He also coached the Welsh national team from 1998 to 2002, achieving an 11-match winning streak, and served as head coach of the British & Irish Lions during their 2001 tour of Australia. Appointed as New Zealand's head coach in 2004, he led the team to several victories, including a series win over the British & Irish Lions in 2005. Despite facing criticism following the 2007 Rugby World Cup quarter-final exit, he was reappointed and subsequently guided the All Blacks to their 2011 World Cup victory. Henry's international coaching career includes numerous matches and titles, with five Tri Nations wins. After stepping down as All Blacks coach in 2011, he joined Argentina as an advisor and assistant coach, contributing to their development in subsequent rugby championships.
