Michael Brown reflects on the tenure of Graham Henry as All Blacks coach following his knighthood in The New Zealand Herald.
"Graham Henry calls himself a 4.30 man. It's the time he wakes up most mornings and it's a habit he's struggling to break, even though he's ended his long tenure as All Blacks coach and brought peace to not only his life but also most of New Zealand after delivering the Rugby World Cup to this country for the first time in 24 years.
"The 65-year-old is a self-confessed workaholic and could often be found reviewing tape or working on game plans after waking in the early hours. It's part of the reason he was so successful, why the All Blacks won so many games under his watch and why he survived in 2007 when most Kiwis held him accountable for a certain defeat in Cardiff."
