Assuming I am reading it correctly, this will upset some people I expect.
The New Zealand national squad officiate at the Mitre 10 Cup, Heartland Championship and Farah Palmer Cup.

@taniwharugby I don't remember watching a game officiated by Ganley, but Mahoney is a very good ref (she was in charge of the women's final at the National Sevens yesterday). I'm not surprised at all about her appointment. If she continues to develop well as a ref, I can see her becoming New Zealand's first female pro-ref and maybe officiate Super Rugby games in a few years (like Aussie Amy Perrett).

@stargazer outside of the Black Ferns I don't watch a lot of Womens rugby (none) but I think given the state of some of the refs we are subjected to in Mitre10, SXX and International rugby, I'm all for letting women ref men if they are good enough, which is subjective I know given some of those appointed to Tests are deemed good enough by someone...

@taniwharugby Hey, it could be Quade Cooper for all I know.
I suspect they'll announce the coaching staff, and maybe some signings.

4 players leaving Lincoln uni to try and make it outside of Canterbury.

@nogusta That would be ace.
I'd be happy to see University's Cam Mather as forwards coach though.
@tim Robbie Deans

@taniwharugby Will definitely provide some smarts and structure. Probably good for attracting players too.
