    @crucial Hammett is on a 3-year contract as Assistant Coach, with still 2 more years to go. He's the forwards coach.

    What does a high performance coach at a franchise do? Genuine question.

    Obviously goes to work at the teams High Performance Centre.

    You should see the Blues one.

    That hole is where we have buried the careers of a couple of dozen first fives. There's still plenty of space if anyone wants to send us some more...

    The Rebels have a new coach - David Wessels from the Force.

    Good move - best Super coach in Aus.

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

    Bad news for Highlanders fans:

    Otago and Highlanders flanker James Lentjes is out of rugby for up to six months due to a shoulder injury that requires surgery.

    From the same article:

    The side has signed up Dillon Hunt and Dan Pryor for next year ...

    @stargazer think we're more than well enough covered with Hunt and Pryor, throw in Evans as backup, happy days.

    @bones Yes, unless the Landers start the season with the same injury problems as the 2017 season ...

    and Gareth Evans has moved to the Canes.

    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.

    The Japs are certainly pulling out all the stops prior to 2019 aren't they. JJ, Tony Brown and Plumtree.
    JJ joining in with the Sunwolves.
    A new agreement on releasing players between the clubs and Sunwolves
