"New head coach Clayton McMillan is drawing on lessons from his time as a policeman in New Zealand and from Maori culture as he sets his own tone in Munster"
"Clayton McMillan is a big man with a serious demeanour, who speaks with an impassive face and chooses every word carefully. The Munster coach grew up in Whakarewarewa, a village now part of the small city of Rotorua on New Zealand's North Island, a geothermal hotspot that doubles up as a home of Maori culture and history."
Clayton McMillan draws on lessons from policing in New Zealand and on Maori cultural practices to shape his approach as Munster head coach. He projects a serious, controlled presence, speaking with an impassive face and choosing every word carefully. He is physically large and imposes a deliberate demeanour. He originates from Whakarewarewa, a village now part of Rotorua on New Zealand's North Island. Rotorua is a geothermal hotspot and an important centre of Maori culture and history. Those place-based cultural roots and his policing experience inform the leadership tone he establishes in Munster.
