What does a high performance coach at a franchise do?
Obviously goes to work at the teams High Performance Centre.

And, hopefully, he'll be able to bring the best Force players with him! The Rebels won't get dumped but infiltrated!

Nothing to worry about ... not an exodus post.
Plumtree will join the Japanese national rugby team as defence coach for test matches against Australia and France, and a third match against a World XV. The appointment is all about personal development, with Plumtree keeping his role with the Wellington-based Super Rugby team. "I see my coaching future as being firmly with the Hurricanes, but I jumped at the chance when Japan approached me about the prospect of coaching at international level," Plumtree said in a statement. -

Heads should roll after the forced imposition of expansion on us fans, mostly against our wishes and advice, as we essentially are the ones paying for the competition via pay TV subscriptions, buying merchandise from the teams and sponsors etc and have been made to endure some truly uncompetitive mismatches and complicated format as result. Come to think of it why not ditch all the crap teams and simply rename the competition the NPC (played under the original system). Throw in a couple of outside invitations as a gesture thus allowing player rotation of the players carrying the heaviest workloads every now and then. To keep overseas fans happy there could be games like Southland v Hawkes Bay played in Port Elizabeth!
