Bennett to coach Kiwis
July 8, 2007
FORMER Australia mentor Wayne Bennett is set to return to the international arena - as coach of the New Zealand All Golds for their match against the Northern Union in October to mark the 100th anniversary of the first league Test in 1907.
Bennett will be joined by his Brisbane captain Darren Lockyer, the Queensland and Kangaroos skipper, after the pair accepted invitations from the NZRL to take part in the historic Test at Warrington.
Lockyer replaces Andrew Johns to play the role of Dally Messenger, father of the code in Australia, who joined the All Golds tour of the UK 100 years ago as a guest of the Kiwis.
