Highlanders coach Jamie Joseph: "We know we can compete with Super Rugby's heavyweights"

For the first time on the DSPN, host Marty Devlin is joined by Highlanders coach and former Japan Brave Blossoms mentor Jamie Joseph, ahead of the Super Rugby Pacific season kicking off in just over a week. Back at the helm of the southern franchise for 2025, Jamie discusses his return, and the challenges of coaching a young and enthusiastic team. He provides insights into his coaching philosophy, team preparation, and aspirations for the season. Marty and Jamie discuss other teams in the competition such as the Blues and Chiefs who are arguably better set-up to win matches, and how the Highlanders can topple them. Finally, they touch on Jamie's good friend and longtime coaching colleague Tony Brown, who is now working for South African rugby.   Website: https://www.rova.nz/podcasts/dspn Instagram: @martindevlin_dspn TikTok: @martindevlin_dspn YouTube: @DevlinSportsPodcastNetwork
