Taranaki have beaten off the advances of other provincial rugby unions and signed All Blacks apprentice Jordie Barrett and Canterbury halfback Logan Crowley. The home grown pair were unveiled at Taranaki Rugby HQ on Tuesday with a third signing expected to be announced shortly.I expect that third signing to be Ricky Riccitelli

BOOM!

Don't think Jordie Barrett will play many games for the Naki. He may be a (playing) All Black soon, if he has a good Super Rugby season. Same with Riccitelli if he impresses again in 2017. He may well be next year's apprentice or become the third hooker.

The Ta$man Rugby Union is in the market for a new assistant coach following Mark Hammett's decision to remain fulltime with the Highlanders. Hammett originally signed a two-year deal with the Ta$man union in 2015 when he joined head coach Leon MacDonald at the helm for Ta$man's 2016 national provincial championship campaign. (...) However, after a season as head coach of Japan's Sunwolves franchise in last year's Super Rugby competition, Hammett subsequently signed on as assistant coach at the Highlanders until 2019. Ta$man boss Tony Lewis said that while Hammett had every intention of rejoining Ta$man for this year's national provincial championship campaign, he realised that the job was more demanding than he'd anticipated and was unable to fulfil the second year of his Ta$man contract. -

Poaching bastards! Peas in a pod you lot down south.
Probably better for family. That's the problem when your good players have to spend their money making part of the year in another part of the country. Wish the Chiefs or Blues had grabbed him a few years back instead of those filthy Cantabs

You probably don't know he started playing NPC with the Mako$? He's gone back to where he started his NPC rugby.
"You lot down south", who's that? Everyone south of Taupo?

I did know that. I also know he has been a CM rep since U14s. Where did he learn to play to NPC standard? Which province invested in coaching him to that level?
South of Taupo? Nah, it's not until you cross Cook Strait that the definition of uncle and grandad gets blurred.

@Crucial They can have him he's nothing special. Good against rubbish opposition but not much else after that.

Sorry I was talking more about super rugby level.

@Crucial Pfew, then that "you lot down South" doesn't apply to me then. Got me confused there. I've only been to the South Island twice.

TBF Star, some of your posting on things red n black suggest you may have some uncle/grandad confusion going on in your ancestry line.
So when is Taufua going to convert to openside is the more important point here rather than discussing which two bit artificially created province he's going to play for.
