The key to success in life as in rugby is built far more on selection than luck. In Season One’s finale of the Confessions of a Rugby Fixer, Harry pinpoints how we hit the mark in picking people or go horribly wrong. Using examples of scandal handling put in a rugby context, he spells out how to spot traits and then stick with and never quit on your team.
South African rugby persists in thinking excellence on the pitch will solve issues of funding, corruption, power in the headquarters of rugby, and a fair shake. We also wishcast instead of forecast what our relative power will be if we await the perfect deal and spurn the good on the table, chasing under the table instead of a bit of sun. Harry the Rugby Fixer takes an independent view of the way out, using his own life, wandering in desolate places with bandits and no food, but taking what he could get and moving on: this episode will make you think again.
Winning at home is one thing. Harry Jones, The Rugby Fixer, explains how you win far from home! In this Confession he describes how he fixed a gold mine in Honduras with just an axe and apologies, and what rugby lessons can be learnt from this!
Harry aka The Rugby Fixer interrogates to confession. But he has a stutter. How do handle your deficits? Rugby is played with flaws, holes in our game, one stronger leg, a weak eye, weakness in one facet. Do we sit and talk about how unfair it is or who did it to you? Or develop compensatory skills and intelligence to not just overcome the problem but use it as tool to win.
In his Second Confession, Harry Jones talks about how Rassie's awareness of own flaws helps him to identify and ruthlessly exploit the vulnerabilities and weaknesses of others. The rugby fixer takes us through another hair-raising real-life caper and draws tight analogies to the best rugby teams like the Springboks!
Flaws define us. In his first Confession, Harry the Rugby Fixer describes how Rassie Erasmus has fixed most Springbok problems except for the Irish Issue. Each Sunday, Harry will draw on a parable from his life as a fixer to sharpen and focus on the long South African rugby story, at home and abroad!
