Wayne Smith said he would be heading back into retirement after transforming the Black Ferns from a side humbled in Europe at the end of last year into world champions again on Saturday.
Staying true to the adventurous high-tempo style Smith introduced, New Zealand beat an England side who had thrashed them twice last year to clinch a sixth world crown.The former All Blacks assistant coach, who masterminded two World Cup triumphs with the men's side, said the experience had been one of the best of his life.
"I'm so proud of this team. I've been proud of them since we started running the ball because they've got an attacking attitude and they never go back." "When he first introduced himself to us, he said he's never followed the herd and he's always done things differently and that's exactly the type of coach he is," she said.
Smith said he thought New Zealand had some of the best young women's rugby players in the world and needed to make the most of the excitement surrounding the Black Ferns after their triumph on home soil.
