The All Blacks' head coach, Scott Robertson, has a unique connection to Northern Ireland. Before his coaching career took off, he played club rugby for Ards RFC in Northern Ireland at the age of 18. During his nine-month stay, he was hosted by the Greyabbey family and became a favorite topic of conversation among the community. Robertson's time in Ireland not only helped him develop as a player but also taught him valuable life skills. Today, he returns to Ireland with his All Blacks team for a Test match against the Irish national team.
