Yea, imagine just sitting around copying and pasting from social media. How lame would that be?
@mariner4life Journalism is pretty lame nowadays.

Spotted on instagram: Sean Wainui training with the Chiefs
It looks like most of the Taranaki team managed to get a Chiefs invite. O'Donnell and Ta'avao are also there.

@jegga haha Tui Billboard right there!
Cant see any Kiwi that sees coaching as thier career doesnt aspire to one day coach the ABs, given apparently they dont actually need much coaching so realistically it would be an easy AF gig!
@taniwharugby yeah I think the NZRU are probably at the point now where they’d invite him in for an interview just so they could tell him to fuck off to his face.

Robertson confirmed No 8 Kieran Read's surgery on a prolapsed lumbar disc in his back went without a hitch last weekend. He also confirmed props Joe Moody (shoulder) and Owen Franks (Achilles) and fullback/wing Israel Dagg (knee) were progressing "really well" with their rehab. The Crusaders have called in props Ryan Coxon ( Ta$man), Reuben O'Neill (Taranaki) and Auckland's Ezekiel Lindenmuth (NZ under-20s) to help fill the void. "[Franks and Moody] have got some clear marks that they reach along the way with their rehab, they've reached them all," Robertson said. "For those two, they're looking to get back around April." Dagg, who didn't require surgery after his season ended part way through the Rugby Championship, could be back for the start of the new season in late February. "He's been really focussed on getting his knee as strong as he possibly can," Robertson said. "It's as hard as I've seen Izzy work. He knows that it's a critical time for him in his career. He's got two more years with us at the Crusaders and he wants to make it pretty special." -

What's the deal with the Lions' new coach? Will they suffer from Ackermann's absence?
From the Lions' Facebook page:
The CEO of Lions Rugby Company Rudolf Straeuli is proud to announce the new coaching structures for 2018. Swys de Bruin, head coach of the Lions Rugby franchise is very excited about the prospect for the future and working with exciting home grown coaches that are part of the coaching structures for the Lions. The full 2018 structures are as follows: Super Rugby Head Coach: Swys de Bruin Forwards: Philip Lemmer Breakdown and Backline: Joey Mongalo Head of Strength & Conditioning: Ivan van Rooyen ... Kicking & Skills (HP Coach): Neil de Bruin etcSwys de Bruin was the Lions assistant coach under Ackermann. According to his CV, "He is widely acknowledged as the brains behind the Lions’ superb attacking play that has seen them reinvent themselves as a free-scoring team". So it looks like there will be some continuity at the Lions. Which may help answering your question @Tim.
The CV's of the coaches are in this post:In a later post, the Lions have announced that their defence and assistance coach, JP Ferreira, is leaving. He's going to Munster.

The Blues will play the Hurricanes at Mahurangi Rugby Club on Thursday 15 February, with both teams embarking on their Investec Super Rugby season the following week

@kiwimurph I have heard that there will be a Warkworth vs. Wellington craft-beer face-off at the Mahurangi preseason game.
I have pushed back starting my professor appointment for this.
Should be a hell of a weekend.

Fark, that sounds like it's worth making an effort for. May see you lads there!

Speaking of All Blacks, has anyone noticed Bulls coach John Mitchell has turned the rugby language into corporate speak? Mitch was quoted as saying of his players “They have a choice between SOAR (Standards Ownership Accountability Responsibility), or BED (Blame Excuses Denial)” this week. Apparently his coaching methodology is called WTP (Weekly Tactical Periodisation), which may or may not rhyme with WTF.
