Technical v Tactical, Australian Rugby & Bacon and Egg Rolls with Dave Wessels

April 22, 2022 @JudgeRugby

The full squad is joined in this episode by former Western Force and Melbourne Rebels head coach, Dave Wessels. Get your notepads out, because this podcast is better than an World Rugby coaching course!

We talk Dave’s experiences working under 4 different Springbok head coaches during his time at the Stormers and the Brumbies, his love for Ikeys and consoling Tom Dawson-Squibb.

Dave shares his experiences and what he has learned from his time as a head coach at the Force and Rebels, managing his transition to the Rebels, the value of Marcel Brache and what South Africa can learn from Australian rugby.

We hear his thoughts about which is South Africa’s best URC side and which of the Brumbies and the Reds are better in Australia and we all share our niche loves for the game of rugby.
