Former All Black Carlos Spencer reveals why he parted ways from Hurricanes coaching staff
By Online Editors
Former All Black Carlos Spencer has revealed why he's parted ways with the Hurricanes three games into the Super Rugby Aotearoa season.
The Hurricanes said in a statement yesterday that the backs coach would leave the club immediately "due to the financial uncertainty created by Covid-19".
Spencer joined the Hurricanes staff at the start of 2019 after a stint with Sanix Blues in Japan.
Spencer has revealed he was told by the Hurricanes he would be made redundant at the conclusion of the Super Rugby Aotearoa season and decided to walk early.
"Unfortunate times at the moment but was told at the start of lockdown there could be a possibility of losing my job due to finances and uncertainty next year," Spencer said in a statement to NZME.
"[I] Was told last week that due to these reasons I would be made redundant at the end of August. Rather than carry on and finish off the competition I saw this as an opportunity to spend some well needed time with the family and sort out what our next move is," he added.
"[I'm] In no hurry to make any decisions, just want to enjoy time with the family and finally get to watch my kids play some sport," Spencer said.
The Hurricanes remain winless through the opening three weeks of Super Rugby Aotearoa after holding a 4-2 record in Super Rugby pre-Covid-19.

I guess we may all agree on the fact, that the ABs and Boks are the two in contest for No 1 in rugby history (the triple-A sort of) …. the Wallabies, England and France are the next tier, with Ireland being the new kid in town (AA) …. in my view it makes little sense creating imaginary competitions (unless you have too much time to waste)
Go to commentsWhat a joke. Total joke and the pundits commentating, all of whom know a bit about the game, could barely disguise their contempt. Reaching for the card then pulling back when he realised a red card would carry further match suspensions is simply not his decision to make. A clear and obvious influence on the outcome of this match and indeed, the championship path.
