Aaron Mauger or Mark Hammett? Highlanders fans don't have to wait much longer to find out who their team's new head coach is.
Appointing Japan-bound Tony Brown's replacement was always the top priority when the Highlanders' 2017 campaign ended last weekend, and chief executive Roger Clark told Stuff a decision was due by the end of next week.
In what is shaping as one of rugby's worst kept secrets, former All Blacks and Crusaders midfielder Mauger is expected to beat out fellow Cantabrian Hammett for the top job.

I'm not against overseas players in the NZ franchises.
But Magnay is an appalling signing, for the simple reason that Crusader country already have Will Jordan and Brayden Ennor from the U20s in their laps.
Pussy mgmt.
I'm not against overseas players in NZ franchises but I think there should be different rules depending on where the players are from. I'm fine with 3-4 overseas players making it into a squad if they're from Tier 2 teams, particularly the PIs. I'd even be more lenient with Argie players, since they only have one pro team. But a Tier 1 country with 4-5 pro teams like Australia? It should be one player max, not fuckin four. It's ridiculous.

We do have different rules regarding overseas players. Basically PI are treated differently.

Just saw a post from Jeff Toomaga-Allen on instragram, which included the names of players leaving the Canes.
Some I knew, Uhila, Abbott, Gibbins & Black. I couldn't remember reading anywhere that Leni Apisai and Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi are leaving.Now, TTT is from Rotorua & has played for the Chiefs U17s and I think he plays for Taranaki(?); the Chiefs are losing a halfback. Could it be that he has signed with the Chiefs?
Leni Apisai has been overtaken by Riccitelli & I assume Aumua has been signed by the Canes. Again, the Chiefs are losing a hooker. Same question.
Does anyone have more info?
-
Now this might explain why TTT is leaving the Canes!
The Hurricanes have signed Finlay Christie for 2 years!
