John Mitchell: From All Blacks to Red Roses – And Everything In Between

The Good, The Bad & The Rugby

Alex, Hask, and Tins sit down with Red Roses Head Coach John Mitchell to reflect on his diverse coaching career. At just 37, he became Head Coach of the All Blacks, facing intense media scrutiny after their exit from the 2003 Rugby World Cup. His journey then took him to coaching roles in Australia and South Africa, where a life-changing armed robbery shifted his perspective. Now in his third stint with England—having previously worked under Clive Woodward and Eddie Jones—is Mitchell the coach to deliver World Cup glory later this year?
