Timeline
John Plumtree is a professional rugby union coach and former first class provincial rugby player.
He was previously the head coach for the Hurricanes and the, which competes in the Super Rugby and Currie Cup competitions.
Plumtree was born on 16 July 1965 in Hawera, Taranaki.
Plumtree and Lions coach John Mitchell were born and grew up in the same town, however, they only got to know one another later as players and coaches.
Plumtree attended Hawera High School from 1976 to 1980.
Playing as a flanker in his native New Zealand, Plumtree represented Taranaki in the NPC 40 times, debuting in 1985.
In 1988 Plumtree was selected by the then coach, Ian McIntosh.
MacIntosh would later coach South Africa's national rugby union team, the Springboks.
From 1988 to 1997 Plumtree played 80 matches for the Sharks, winning two Currie Cup medals (1990, 1996).
In 1989 he was selected to participate in trials for the All Blacks team.
Plumtree relocated to Durban, home of his South African wife.
Reflecting on this move he later told the New Zealand Herald: "I did not want to get caught being a young rugby player in a small town for a long time. I thought if I got out of Hāwera for a little while another door might open up."
So he accepted the opportunity to play for Durban High School Old Boys RFC, home to quite a number of overseas players at the time.
As a player Plumtree won two Currie Cup medals with the Sharks (1990, 1996); and as a coach he guided the Sharks to Currie Cup wins in 2008 and 2010.
In 1992, he briefly returned to New Zealand to play 14 games for Hawke's Bay.
In 1994 Plumtree was selected for South Africa's Sevens side, and played two tournaments in Hong Kong.
According to the BBC, Plumtree was an assistant coach with the College Rovers in North Durban, helping them win "three successive Natal titles and the South African club championship in 1994-95".
He successfully coached the Sharks to their first Currie Cup win since 1996, for which he was named the 2008 Absa Coach of the Year.
After retiring as a player, Plumtree coached the Swansea Rugby Football Club in Wales for five seasons, winning the Welsh Cup (1999), the Welsh League (1998), and the Welsh-Scottish League (2001).
He is credited with "discovering" Gavin Henson while he was with Swansea.
In 2001 he returned to New Zealand, briefly acting as video analyst for Mitchell, the All Black coach at the time, working in a team that included Robbie Deans, the New Zealander who coached the Australian national team until the series defeat by the 2013 British and Irish Lions.
Video analysis was in its infancy, and Plumtree was frustrated by the buggy nature of the system.
He later confessed that while he learned a lot from Mitchell and Deans, "video analysis wasn't my thing."
Subsequently Plumtree was appointed coach for the Wellington Lions, a NPC team.
Under his management, the Lions reached the final playoffs in 2003, 2004 and 2006.
Plumtree returned to South Africa after he found that he was not to be given a New Zealand side in the Super Rugby tournament.
Despite his success with Wellington, he was not appointed to guide the Wellington-based Hurricanes, as had been expected
A spell as temporary head coach of the Sharks in 2007 was followed by a stint as assistant to Super 14 coach Dick Muir.
Plumtree and Muir had been teammates at the Sharks during their playing days.
Plumtree was appointed head coach of the Sharks in 2008.
Under Plumtree the Sharks had again reached the top of the Currie Cup log by September 2009.
In August 2009 the Sharks' coach received the Coach of the Month award from Currie Cup sponsors Absa.
The 2010 season was not off to a good start after a terrible Super 14 season for the Sharks however in the shadow of the abysmal performance, the 2010 Currie Cup season was highly successful for Plumtree as the Sharks won the 2010 ABSA Currie Cup.
In 2013 he was confirmed as Forwards Coach for the Ireland national team, working alongside new head coach Joe Schmidt.
In the 2015 season Plumtree became the assistant coach of the Hurricanes Super 15 franchise with Chris Boyd being the head coach.
