Waves were made when Leon MacDonald left the All Blacks coaching group, the move coming as a surprise to most.
Piney caught up with coaching guru Wayne Goldsmith to get his thoughts on the situation, and the importance of a unified front among coaching staff.
He told him that as a general rule, you can fight it out behind closed doors, but as soon as the door opens again there needs to be a unified front and message.
“You get it all out and then as soon as the door handle goes, it's one voice, one team, one message. No ambiguity, absolutely clear.”
