New Highlanders assistant coach Glenn Delaney at training at Logan Park this week. He must have been 3 or 4 with an ice cream in his hand, and yelled out 'Highlanders, Highlanders','' Delaney said. Then the Highlanders defence job came up - with Scott McLeod moving to the All Blacks - and that got Delaney thinking and looking. Delaney had always coached defence although he did not view it as that. Stormy [McLeod] had done a great job ... it is not to come and do something completely different.
