Rugby Jokes
Clive Woodward is curious to find out how Graham Henry has turned around the fortunes of the Welsh team so quickly, so he decides to go to Cardiff and see how Graham Henry coaches his team. After a day he is not really impressed by the training routines so he asks Henry how he manages to get his players so sharp.
"Well it is simple. I sometimes ask my players a difficult question, and that way they stay really sharp mentally".
Of course Clive wants an example, so Graham asks Robert Howley to come over to the touchline. Graham asks him: "Robert, answer this question…..he is not your brother, but still he is your father's son. Who is he?". "That's easy", Robert answers immediately, "Of course, it's me". "You see? That's the way you keep them sharp", Henry says to Woodward.
Woodward, keen to take this on board decides to bring this into the next England squad session. He calls Jason Leonard over to the touchline. “Jason, answer this question”, he says, “He is not your brother, but he is still your father's son, who is he?” “Bleedin' 'ell" says Jason, "That's a tough one to answer. Can I sleep on it tonight and tell you in the morning". "OK", says Clive. "Anyway", continues Jason, "why have you asked me the question?". Clive explains it has to do with some New Zealand coaching method.
So that night, unable to answer the question, Jason has a bright idea and decides to phone his club coach Zinzan Brook and ask him for the answer; he's from New Zealand, so he's bound to know. “Zinzan, can you help me with the answer to this question ... he is not your brother, but he is still your father's son. Who is he?”. “That's easy, it's me!”, says Zinzan.
So the next day Jason walks full of confidence into training. Clive sees him and asks "OK, Jason do you know the answer to my question now?". "Of course, it was pretty easy really”, he says “It's Zinzan Brook". "Don't be so bloody stupid" said Woodward, "It's Robert Howley."
