Rugby: Henry steps down as All Blacks coach

WELLINGTON: All Blacks coach Graham Henry, one of the world’s most successful coaches, announced that he was stepping down just nine days after guiding the team to a Rugby World Cup win in New Zealand. Henry said that after eight years and 103 Tests in charge of the All Blacks, with a remarkable winning average of 85.4 percent, he had ‘had enough’ and had no desire to coach again. “It’s been an enormous privilege to coach the All Blacks and I am exceptionally proud of how the team has added to the All Blacks legacy over the last eight years,” said Henry.
