Steve Hansen joins the Wallabies coaching staff

New Post has been published on https://bestcustomjerseys.com/steve-hansen-joins-the-wallabies-coaching-staff/

Steve Hansen joins the Wallabies coaching staff

“That hurts a bit to be fair. In fact I am stunned. I know he’s pretty close to Eddie. I know they are good partners… but he is an icon in the All Blacks setup. I’m a bit speechless. A little disappointing, but we can’t do much about it.

“I hope he doesn’t tell Eddie what our secrets are. I think he will be respectful.”

The 64-year-old has been closely watching the Wallabies practice as the team prepares for its first hit-out in France. Hansen has introduced himself to Wallabies players and staff and is providing feedback to Jones when possible.

Sources said Hansen has not been wearing official Wallabies attire but is expected to attend Sunday’s game at the Stade de France. It is unclear if he will sit in the Australian coach’s box or watch from the stands.

Hansen has spoken to All Blacks manager Ian Foster about his short-term role with the Wallabies and says it is nothing more than a favor for Jones.

“They look good actually. They are a good young team. They are working hard,” Hansen told Newstalk Radio. “I would like to reassure everyone that I did not join the Wallabies for the Rugby World Cup. I’m only here for about three or four days at the request of Eddie, a good mental partner, just to give him some feedback on what he’s doing instead of anything else. Rugby is bigger than all of us, so (I’m) happy to do that.”

Four years ago, Hansen and Jones met in the World Cup semi-final between New Zealand and England in Japan.

In one of the biggest upsets of the tournament, England beat New Zealand 19-7 to advance to the final, where they lost 32-12 to South Africa.

Earlier this year, Jones and Hansen faced each other in a Barbarians and World XV fixture at Twickenham. The pair have a great relationship, having first trained in 1997 when they were in charge of the Brumbies and Crusaders respectively in Super Rugby.

Hansen was Wales’ manager during the 2003 World Cup, when Jones led the Wallabies to the final against England.

New Zealand rugby fans could never have imagined that their World Cup-winning coach would help out their old rivals.

Hansen is close friends with Foster, who is in charge of the All Blacks in the World Cup. He will be replaced by Scott Robertson starting next year.

In an interview with this newspaper in May, Hansen said that he had great respect for Jones.

“Eddie is a rugby man through and through, he loves the game. He is quirky…and he has a great work ethic,” Hansen said.

“But deep down he cares about the game and the people who are involved in it. He is a good game analyst.

“He has the ability to assemble a group quite quickly. I just enjoy your company. I like to talk about rugby with him and he also has a good sense of humour. He likes a beer and a punt, and so do I.”

After the World Cup semifinal in 2019, Jones praised Hansen.

Charging

“He is a great coach. He is a great rugby player,” Jones said. “He will be remembered as one of the best managers of the All Blacks. He is always looking to see what is best for the game.”

Jones will name his team the Wallabies on Friday for the game against France. Australia last played France in November under manager Dave Rennie and suffered a heartbreaking 30-29 defeat in Paris.

There isn’t one, but I think there is a set of possible games that might work.

Personally I think taking some inspiration from 3.5 might help, specifically after 10th level where wizards of all sorts were mostly crafters and researchers capable of helping from afar. They don’t necessarily have to be present to command their army.

The other inspiration is that maybe don’t give them all of their summons. Fighters and barbarians are capable leaders and it would be wise to allow the party to split up control of the undead. In fact I think the best way to do this mechanically is have some sort of concentration mechanic where controlling summons takes concentration and so does casting so after a certain point you have to choose, but if you give your allies control of your summons the don’t have that cost. Either way this mechanic should not limit the ability to or the amount of summons.

I also think you should lean into the overpowered bit but hit it with a different angel[look up the adventuring academy episode with B. Dave Walter’s for more info about what I mean].

Essentially look at it this way. Normal rpgs are usually a quest to get something, but that sort of goal won’t drive the pot forward in a campaign where you have all the power. Furthermore, Necromancers are a horror campaign to face them, but with them they are sort of a power trip. My go tos on this are like John wick and Doom(2016). But these don’t fit either, because the source of the power is systemic like.

To tell a good story here, you either have to look at the ethics of it (especially if your necromancer isn’t evil), how to deal with locals and the geopolitical aspect. But my favorite answer is that you as the dm make a group or groups of adventurers who think (correctly or not) that your party is evil and or needs to be stopped. Now you need to stop them from stoping you and the best part is that they might not handle your full group so you can force your group to make hard choices about how to deal with them and other problems.

I think the existence of Maleghast reaffirms my long-held belief that there's just no good way to do PC Necromancers in TTRPGs.

In Maleghast, you're a cool necromancer with a bunch of powerful abilities and in addition to that control a horde of varied undead that also all have cool abilities. It's pretty much exactly what I would want from playing a necromancer.

This works because Maleghast is a wargame about necromancers fighting each other. Everyone has powerful abilities and controls a horde of undead.

If you tried to port a Maleghast black horde (the name for a necromancer with its minions) to an RPG (let's say ICON since the games are similar) where there's non-necromancer character options, you'd run into several issues.

Firstly, time. In Maleghast, you take a turn for each unit you control. This would lead to a necromancer player taking up significantly more time than everyone else at the table. This issue is further exacerbated in TTRPGs where martial characters are kept simple. No one wants to wait through a 20 minute necromancer turn to then go "I attack twice. 24 damage. Next."

ICON is very much aware of the issue that summons lead to long turns and keeps them simple because of that. The closesest thing ICON has to a necromancer, the Harvester, can summon Thralls that take like a minute or two to resolve each turn. They're useful but they don't really hit the same power fantasy.

The second issue is balance. I want my undead to feel powerful, but I still want to feel powerful myself.

If I and my 5 undead each deal about a 6th of the damage a regular PC deals, that would be balanced, but it would be incredibly boring. If we deal any more damage than that, it would be overpowered.

Some games (like D&D 5e) deal with this issue by putting basically all of the damage potential on the necromancer while having the undead be very low on damage dealt, to the point where they're basically just additional hit points you can summon into the fight, but I don't want that, I want my undead to be cool not just meat (or bone) shields.

Do you know of any RPGs where you can play a really fun necromancer? I'd love to be proven wrong
