Chiefs 2020

@Canes4life said in Chiefs 2020:
@Bovidae Jamie Booth will most likely end up somewhere, either the Canes or Chiefs possibly.
I'd prefer someone from within the Chiefs region. I'm not sure who that is though. One of Takarangi, Roe or Campbell if they perform in the M10 Cup.

@Canes4life God I hope not. All yours mate.

I actually thought this was the most interesting bit.
Contrary to recent media speculation I can confirm to Shareholders that the Chiefs Rugby Club does not employ the head coach nor the senior assistant head coach. It is standard operating practice that New Zealand Rugby employs two coaches for every New Zealand Super Rugby Clubs. Anything contrary to this point in the media is misleading.
obviously nzr decided they couldn't possibly pass up the opportunity to get Gats back to NZ, I couldn't see him going anywhere other than Chiefs.. nzr think he's the future, not Coops.. so he got shuffled along with the rest of his salary paid out.
I didn't realise that wasn't a Chiefs decision... and a pointer towards Gats moving into AB's role?

@WillieTheWaiter The fact that it's NZR who employs (two) coaches per franchise, doesn't mean that it wasn't the Chiefs decision to have him as their head coach. One doesn't exclude the other. I don't believe for a second that he would be the new Chiefs head coach if they didn't want him.

@Canes4life as a Blues supporter I would take him over Christie

@Stargazer yeah a bit shattered with that news, Debreczini has been fantastic for the Taniwha and unfortunately we only saw a bite size of how good he was at super level.
I actually believe he is more rounded than any of the first fives at the Blues..,he definitely better than Otere Black, I am willing to cut young Plummer a bit of slack to be fair..
Luckily Northland has a couple of young guys coming through.
