Otago Rugby coach Ben Herring’s focus is always on developing a strong, positive team culture, which goes beyond the mere technical and tactical. Otago were the winners of the 2018 Ranfurly Cup. 

Having coached two so-called outlier teams, Canada and Japan, he knows all about bringing teams like that into the fold of the game, thereby helping to create a cohesive, inclusive rugby culture. He has also coached at the two Super Rugby franchises, the Highlanders and the Sunwolves.

Herring will be speaking at the Mt Aspiring College staff room on June 30 at 10.30am.
