Warriors Head Coach Greg Cooper On Upcoming Season
January 29, 2023 — (KUTV) - The Utah Warriors of Major League Rugby named Greg Cooper the fourth head coach in franchise history back in July of 2022, and with the season now about a month away he cannot wait to test his coaching instincts around the country.
Cooper played professional rugby from 1986-1998, which included playing for the All-Blacks from 1986-1992. He then entered the coaching ranks in 2001, and has coached all over the world since, taking him from New Zealand, France and then to Japan where he was instrumental in elevating the Mitsubishi Dynaboars to Japan’s top classification for the first time in club history.
He also immediately gives Utah the most experienced coach in all of Major League Rugby, which should prove a huge benefit for a club that went without a head coach for the latter half of the 2022 season.
Cooper joined Adam Mikulich on a recent edition of Talkin' Sports to talk about the excitement of the upcoming season!
