What a Lad

Colin Mansbridge- What a Lad


Listen Later

Rugby fans don't get much bigger than Colin Mansbridge! Who also just happens to be potentially the most successful CEO in all sport, having been the Crusaders CEO for the last 8 years which includes 7 Titles! However, for many it was the way he handled himself and the organisation last season when Crusaders missed the top 8 which was most impressive!


In this episode, Colin brings plenty of honesty, insight, and laughs and we go through some of the challenges and triumphs of being the boss!


Some parts that stood out in this one were...

Why he decided to ban the Cow Bells from the Super Rugby final

His take on Super Rugby and where it’s heading

Why he stood by Rob Penney and didn’t panic after the 2024 season

His love for rugby and in particular scrums

How he landed the CEO gig despite thinking he couldn’t run a rugby club

The decision behind the Crusaders rebrand

His thoughts on the new stadium

How he ended up on TikTok,

Who he reckons is the best player he’s ever CEO’d

And of course… his secret to locking down a good scrum


Colin brings the same level-headedness and wit to this chat that he brings to one of rugby’s most demanding jobs. If you want to understand what really goes on behind the curtain at the Crusaders, this one is for you.
