While the men’s All Blacks 15s are reigning double World Cup winners, Horan’s side are also perennial winners and return to the UAE as defending champions of Dubai and the overall World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series. Horan says success breeds success. “It’s part of the psyche and it’s been going now for a long, long time,” he said. “The All Blacks have created this for 20 odd years, it’s inbred in us whether you are a male or a female in our country. “It does not matter if you are an All Black, an All Blacks 7s, and Under-20, a Black Fern or a women’s sevens team, you have the same responsibility. “We don’t have red that runs in our veins, we have blacks that runs in our veins. “Everyday you want to get better. Young boys and young girls aspire to wear that black jersey. It’s like a coat of armour really.”     Read the original story at: ‘We bleed black, not red’ says New Zealand Women’s coach
