Robbie Deans Biography

Robbie Deans is one of the most popular and richest Rugby Coach who was born on September 4, 1959 in Cheviot, Canterbury, New Zealand.

Deans attended Christ’s College, Christchurch as a boarder where he played rugby mainly at first five-eighth.

Deans was the first-choice goal-kicker for the team and scored 1,641 points for the union. He was a member of the Canterbury team during the Ranfurly Shield era of the early 1980s. This included kicking eight of Canterbury’s 16 points in its 16–12 challenge win over Wellington in 1982. The shield reign ended in 1985 against Auckland in “the match of the century” where Deans also played. This reign is the longest in Canterbury rugby union history. He went on to represent Canterbury 146 times, with his career ending in 1990.

Deans also played for New Zealand’s national rugby team, the All Blacks. His first game for the All Blacks was against Edinburgh on 26 October 1983. Deans played five tests for the All Blacks, scoring 50 points. He played an additional 14 games for the All Blacks scoring 202 points.

[…] The decision to leave Christchurch after the end of the 2008 Crusaders season and coach overseas has undoubtedly been one of the most difficult of my professional sporting career. While the rugby marketplace has been global ever since rugby went professional 12 years ago, it is probably only now that I truly appreciate the thought process and the ‘what ifs?’ that so many others have gone through before reaching this point. To go (off shore) is a big decision. It is not one that is entered into lightly. […] I am ready to coach internationally. After serving for eleven years as a Super rugby manager and coach here, I feel I can not afford to forgo the position offered to me in Australia. It is both flattering and humbling that the Australian Rugby Union has afforded me this opportunity. While it will no doubt be an interesting position to be in, coaching against New Zealand; it is not without precedent, and will add to my personal development as a coach – as it has done for others before me. I always aspired to leave the Crusaders in good shape when the time came. I believe I will be doing that. Not only do we have a good level of depth among our player base, there are some quality people in place around the team, and some highly promising coaches coming through. Their time is coming. It would not have been right to delay their potential development by hanging on for too long. I’m proud of my association with Canterbury rugby, the Crusaders, Christchurch and the wider Crusaders franchise community. […] Although the move to Australia opens a new chapter in our lives, it’s not a case of closing the book here. Our thoughts will always be with Canterbury and the Crusaders. […] Robbie Deans
