    @KiwiMurph Beauden might inspire the Blues to the dizzy heights of 4th in the NZ conference next year.

              Do NSW have a new coach yet? If not, who is making these signings?

                @Steven-Harris He played for Aussie Schoolboys and the Chiefs and Waratahs made a play for him in 2013/2014 before he decided to sign for Parramatta.

                    So, “resigned” on full pay. Then they just happen to sign up one of the biggest coaching names in the world within days.

                        Haha nothing to see here, keep moving, nothing to see....

                        The official release doesn't mention resigning, so not foul

                        Gallagher Chiefs Head Coach Colin Cooper will step down from the Investec Super Rugby club this year with his next priority to spend time with his family, the Chiefs Rugby Club and New Zealand Rugby announced today.

                          They paid him off to go away

                          Good business for both parties

                            I think the discussion about Cooper leaving had been going on for a little while but I don't believe Gatland was signed before Cooper decided to step down. Media leaks meant an official announcement was made urgently.

                              @Stargazer as I’ve said previously if Jordie is going to leave in the long run anyway I’d rather him F off now so he doesn’t prevent us from signing other up and coming talent.

                                @Canes4life Agree, but as he seems to be staying in 2020, I hope they use next season to develop Toala and give him sufficient game time to take over from Jordie in 2021 as we don't know which good fullbacks will emerge in the next year and a half. They have no excuses; they now know a year in advance. And Laumape will probably not hand over his 12 jersey to Toala any time soon.

                                        @Canes4life Would you really be that happy? Guy was on his way out at the end of his Chiefs career, went to France and has done pretty much nothing. Sure NZ brings out the best in players but Canes would be better off signing some young blood and developing them.

                                          Not sure if Cruden is a great recruit he has struggled in NH and has had a lot of injuries.A gamble signing in my opinion.
