@taniwharugby The funny thing is a few on here thought it was unusual for Razor to appoint 4 assistants, when Foster initially appointed 5 (Plumtree, McLeod, Mooar, Feek, Hill) which extended to 6 when Strawbridge was brought in at the start of 2022.

I don't think it was the number of assistants that people were querying - it was the crossover of roles between Leon and Holland. It felt they were 2 coaches with very similar briefs/backrounds.

Hill has been part of the AB coaching group for a few years now, as the kicking coach. He also went to Japan in 2019.

This article mentions all of the injuries Moli has had.
The gruesome quad haematoma in 2018 – an injury so bad it’s usually a result of car accidents and can end up in amputation – kicked off his luckless run.
After fighting back from an elbow issue in 2019, there was then surgery on each of his hips the following two years due to impingement.

Are price increases normal for a semi final at super rugby level? Seems like a shit way to reward your fans
Yes, that is standard and those tickets don't seem too expensive to me. I think a discount for members would be fair but understand why the franchise hasn't gone for it.

Apparently he's director of rugby at Takapuna.
Even Takapuna’s director of rugby, Paul Feeney, is temporarily off the scene, working as assistant coach for the Chiefs.
Takapuna stars otherwise occupied as season looms – Rangitoto Observer
Defending North Harbour club rugby champions Takapuna start the season missing close to an entire starting line-up of players who are either overseas or have been selected for higher honours. Fine and Lotu Inisi (Moana Pacifica) and Bryn Gatland (Chiefs) are playing Super Rugby; promising first...

Had a quick yarn to Quinn Tupaea last night. Someone told me he'd be back playing club soon so I asked. He said he's back in 3 weeks so hopefully all goes well and he's back for Waikato in the NPC.
Quinn Tupaea: 'I can see the light at the end of the tunnel'
All Blacks midfielder Quinn Tupaea is back on the training pitch after a challenging stint on the sidelines.
