He's a very dishonest person and I'm not going to get into it now, but he he had
00:00:03
a lot of personal failings in his social life and that sort of thing. >> You haven't read your own book, so I'm
00:00:08
guessing you haven't read the um Rasi Arasimus book. >> No, >> I've got a quote here from from that
00:00:13
book. I learned from the mistakes both of us made. I won't have players who behave as badly as I did feeling
00:00:17
entitled just because they're playing well. How Lori coached and analyzed is
00:00:21
exactly how I don't want to be as a coach. Well, it's funny he says that
00:00:24
because Andre Fenta, I was talking to him one day and he said, "Russy's doing
00:00:28
exactly what you did that he hated to do and he refused to do. He's doing it with
00:00:33
his players." So, you can take that comment for what it's worth. The only
00:00:38
reason I had conflict with Russy, it wasn't about rugby issues. He didn't
00:00:42
want to train. Maybe he kept himself fit. I don't know. If I'd let the whole
00:00:46
team be as slack as he wanted to be, there's no way we would have won
