“Ideally it would be great to relax a bit but the nature of the
jobs means that we are almost as busy in the summer months
with planning and preparation than we are in season. It is
important to keep in contact with the lads whilst recruitment
also plays an important part. We are recruiting a strength
and conditioner at the moment and trying to help with the
commercial side of the business in terms of player sponsorship
etc.”
Challenges
“Regional rugby is still in its infancy and we are still getting to
grips with Swansea’s role as part of the new structure. There
have been some teething problems on the way and in recent
years Swansea has almost sacrificed its own success in order
to develop players.
I believe the role of the Premiership in terms of the wider
pathway is unclear, I’m not sure if it is there to develop
players or be the next best level below regional rugby? If it is
to develop talent why are there no incentives to do this? As
such we are trying to develop a five year plan for the club with
no real idea of what the landscape will be during that time, this
is a huge challenge.”
Ambitions
“Our ambition is to bring back success to the club whilst
continuing to develop the next generation of talent. Ultimately
what this means is to get promoted back into the Welsh
Premiership and be competing at the top of the table in 5 years’
time whilst still developing players at the same rate as we are
now.
This is both on and off the pitch and with management as well.
Too often in rugby we only look at the short term but we are
trying to implement systems for continuity and development
of coaches, committee and players alike. We are all in a very
privileged position in our caretaker positions within Swansea
and there is pressure and a responsibility on all at the club to
restore Swansea to its rightful place in Welsh Rugby.”
