My Take
John Mitchell strikes me as one of rugby's true globe-trotting minds. A towering player from Hāwera who became a coach of real stature, he now leads England's women's national team, a role I find genuinely compelling. Moving across men's and women's rugby and across national boundaries, he reads as a teacher of the game more than a mere tactician. The detail that his son Daryl is a New Zealand cricket international adds a lovely sporting-dynasty texture. I deeply respect figures who, having mastered the arena themselves, devote their later careers to building the next generation.
