Kieran Crowley 🇮🇹 & Nicole Crowley 🇨🇦 | Episode 33
Hosts Dallen Stanford & Robin MacDowell are joined by legends Kieran and Nicole Crowley for #RugbyHive Episode 33.
Kieran played in the backline for the All Blacks from 1983-1991 (19 Caps) winning the 1987 Rugby World Cup on home soil. He was also part of the New Zealand team that won the Bledisloe Cup in 1985, 1990 and 1991. Kieran played 199 times for club team Taranaki, scoring 1,723 points, and later coached Taranaki from 1998-2007.
Kieran spent eight years coaching the Canadian Men’s 15s team, taking them to the 2011 and 2015 Rugby World Cups. He then spent five seasons with Benetton in Italy, which is when this interview was recorded during 2020. Since we spoke, Kieran was named Coach of the Year while at Benetton Rugby guiding them to a Pro 14 Rainbow Cup Championship (2021), before being selected as the Head Coach of Italy in May of 2021. He led Italy to a 22-21 win over Wales in the 2021 Six Nations, and then recorded one of the biggest upsets to date for the Azzurri by defeating Australia 28-27 in the Autumn tours of 2022.
Kieran’s daughter, Nicole, also grew up New Zealand until she moved to Canada with her family at 12 years of age. She played for Team BC in 7s and 15s, captaining them to a National Championship. At just 18 years old while completing an internship at Rugby Canada, Nicole got the opportunity to become Manager of the Canada Women’s 15s team. From there she worked on contract with Rugby Canada while finishing her Business degree at the University of Victoria, where she was also a member of the UVic Vikes rugby team. Nicole managed the Women’s 15s side through their 2017 World Cup campaign as well as the Women’s 7s team to the Pan American Games, HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series and Olympic Qualification.
Since our interview, Nicole moved North with her partner (who works in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police), living in the remote sub-Arctic in the Northwest Territories, in a town of only 450 people and with no roads connecting it to other towns. Nicole is the Director of Recreation for the municipality where she is highly involved with Special Olympics NT and Sport North, where she works to help disadvantaged and remote kids from communities like hers, access sporting opportunities.
In this episode we talk about Kieran and Nicole’s rugby backgrounds, their accomplishments in the sport, and how they both used rugby as a vehicle to live and work in different countries and experience new cultures.

    Thank you so much Rugby Hive @Dallen & Robin. You've taken us deep into how Ben Gollings arranged & rearranged his plan of attack for the 2022 rugby 7's series which includes Commonwealth & Melrose Cup for Fiji. From Ben's last interview he mentioned a few times Fiji on attack are capable to score from anywhere. Yes he identified Defence and mental preparation as his area to work on and so marvelous to see his work and read his mind through how the boys put it together on the field at every game. Absolutely brilliant Ben. Fiji 7's in good hands.👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍❤️❤️....oops and Congratukations on you World Cup win. 👏👏👏

    Moonlight's .......name etched well orientated well in 7's Rugby history.

That was their decider whoever wins goes to the 1/4's and they did. Always admire the Canadian courage 👏👏👍

    I will tell you this - in the premier club rugby there were 2 outstanding centres in that 80s period that dominated the midfield in club rugby in Auckland - Joe Stanley and Frank Bunce - and there were some great centres playing club rugby in Auckland at that time! We all knew that Frank Bunce was the heir apparent to Joe Stanley! Because the coaches could not ignore that fact they started to play Bunce on the wing for Auckland because he had the speed! Then came along Craig Innes and all of sudden Innes is getting pushed and favoured, completely ignoring Frank Bunce! We all knew that the best centre outside of Joe Stanley was Frank Bunce and shocked at this selection of Innes over Bunce! Innes was nowhere in the same league as Bunce! An indication of how good Bunce was is the mere fact that Laurie Mains went after him to leave the Manu Samoa and play for the ABs - which should have been done earlier under Alex Wylie in terms of selection for the ABs! Bunce should have been the no.1 centre for the ABs going to the RWC 1991! NOTE: the destruction by Bunce on Horan and Little in the All Black tour to Australia in 1992!
