A young Vern Cotter in the doco too. A great mix of coaches looking back - Clayton McMillan having just finished up with the Bay under Vern's coaching the year before.
Current Wallabies head coach Joe Schmidt was the attack coach in 2004, working with current Blues head coach Vern Cotter. They had the honour of helping Bay of Plenty finally lift the much-cherished Log o’ Wood.
Those “big dogs” will be back together, says Ierome, as both Cotter and Schmidt attend the weekend celebrations, which start tomorrow night, followed by a golf event on Saturday, followed by watching the Bay of Plenty Steamers take on Taranaki at Tauranga Domain.

I knew every name in that BoP team - except for the guy mentioned in the article. I don't remember him.
