Laurie Fisher

Laurie Fisher

Laurie Fisher born in Canberra was the Head coach of the ACT Brumbies between 2005 and 2008. He began his coaching career with the Brumbies in 2000 when he was appointed Head Coach of the Brumbies Rugby Academy and later assumed control of the Brumby Runners and the Canberra Vikings. He implemented a rugby program aimed at developing the cream of local ACT rugby talent into players capable of competing for training contracts or full contracts with the Brumbies squad. Guy Shepherdson, Matt Giteau and Julian Salvi have all made successful transitions to the professional game under his guidance. In 2003, Laurie was promoted to the Brumbies forwards coach under David Nucifora and contributed to their success as 2004 Super 12 Champions.

Fisher's contribution and devotion to the Brumbies as an assistant coach saw them earn success from 2000 as semi finalists, two time finalists and two time champions. As a head coach, Laurie failed to guide the Brumbies to any finals appearances. Midway through the 2008 season the Brumbies announced they would not be renewing his contract as head coach. Laurie was named forwards coach for Munster Rugby on July 8, 2008, with his experience in the Experimental Law Variations (EVL's) cited as a key reason for his appointment [ [http://msn.foxsports.com/rugby/story/8334466/Munster-land-Brumbies'-Fisher FOX Sports on MSN - RUGBY - Munster land Brumbies' Fisher ] ]

Working full time in sports, Fisher's career began as a physical education and health science teacher at Telopea Park School. After a decade of teaching, he moved into a Program Manager role at the Australian Institute of Sport.
