Timeline

2017

On 19 May 2017 Smith announced he would be stepping down from his role as assistant coach to the All Blacks at the conclusion of the 2017 Rugby Championship in October, ending a 20-year association and over 212 games as coach since 2004 and retiring from full-time coaching.

2015

Smith rejoined the All Blacks team in 2015, ahead of the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

2012

Smith took up the assistant coaching position at the New Zealand Super Rugby team Chiefs in 2012. That year the Chiefs won their first Super Rugby title by defeating the Sharks 37–6 in the final.

In August 2012 Smith declared he wanted to stay with the Chiefs. This was despite being approached by the Western Force and NSW Waratahs, and an offer from England. Although his contract with the Chiefs was for two years, he was keen to stay longer, and he said, "I've now given a verbal agreement to the New Zealand Rugby Union that I'll be staying."

In the 2012 Queen's Birthday and Diamond Jubilee Honours, Smith was appointed a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to rugby.

2010

In 2010, All Black scrum half Justin Marshall spoke about the best piece of coaching advice he'd received came from Smith: "I was going through a bad patch and he told me to go out and trust my instincts and be decisive – you need to trust what you do is going to be the right thing and if you do it decisively you'll make good of it even if it's the wrong option because you'll do it with purpose. That's the best piece of advice I've been given."

2001

Smith resigned in 2001, bitterly disappointed after two close losses to Australia, having failed to wrestle the Bledisloe from them and finishing second to Australia twice in the 2000 and 2001 Tri Nations. Smith went on to coach the Northampton Saints in England. He coached there until being appointed backs coach in early 2004 by the then All Blacks coach Graham Henry.

1997

Smith's first major coaching role was for the Crusaders in the Super 12 competition in 1997. He coached them to two titles in 1998 and 1999 before being appointed All Blacks coach after the 1999 Rugby World Cup.

1980

Smith played for Canterbury domestically, and made his international debut in 1980. He played first five-eighth, gaining 35 caps for the All Blacks, 17 in Tests.

1974

Growing up in Putaruru, Smith played for Waikato Secondary Schools in 1974, then worked his way up to the province's colt and B teams. He studied at Waikato University in Hamilton while playing club rugby in Putaruru, and in 1978 he was on the bench for one top grade Waikato match. "Frustrated" after that season, he decided to look for opportunities elsewhere, and moved to Canterbury where Belfast became his second (and final) club.

1957

Wayne Ross Smith CNZM (born 19 April 1957) is a former New Zealand rugby union coach and former player. He had been assistant coach of the All Blacks for 16 years. He is regarded as one of the greatest coaches in history. Nicknamed "The Professor", Smith is considered the All Blacks tactical genius and has helped engineer two Rugby World Cup triumphs by helping coach them to victory at the 2011 Rugby World Cup and the 2015 Rugby World Cup. He is one of two coaches (Steve Hansen being the other) to win two back-to-back Rugby World Cups. He coached the Crusaders to win the 1998 and 1999 Super Rugby title. He also helped the Chiefs to win the 2012 Super Rugby title and 2013 Super Rugby title.
