Bates was also part of the NH coaching setup in the past wasn't he? U19 coach?
I think so
@bovidae said in Auckland Rugby 2021:
I don't think either he or Ieremia are very articulate or polished in front of the camera.
I agree but don't really care.
My comment about that was keeping an eye on who is in charge of the team. Talking at half time was a reference to who is addressing the players. Ieremia apparently doesn't offer much technically and people like Bowden had to pick up the slack.
I'm interested to see if Ieremia is head coach in name only this year. The player feedback was awful and he shouldv'e been sacked. But I guess that was too expensive

Word doing the rounds is Craig McGrath will take take over as the Auckland head coach ..very well liked by the players
In 2022? So McGrath will be head coach, Bates has the forwards and Bowden the backs?
But all those guys are employed by Auckland rugby this year.
Maybe McGrath the real coach this year? Is Alama just sitting out his contract and has the title of head coach but no power? Will he wear the seagull costume or the potato costume?
If his role is over they should move on as quickly as possible

@steven-harris Like Duluth, I also wondered if you meant he will take over this season or post Alama's contract ?

Grammar Tec v Ponsonby, one of the biggest fixtures on the Auckland club rugby calendar due to the clubs' success and shared history, takes place tomorrow with the added significance of the Sir Fred Allen Trophy being at stake.

Is that the Westlake old-boy Jock McKenzie at 10 for Grammar TEC?
