    Oh, great.

    If Gibbes doesn't return home his reputation will be tarnished in the Waikato.

      Who is Waikato's assistant coach? I assume they must be doing most of the selection work anyway?

        Perhaps the Vikings need to strengthen their management team? 🙂

          Nathan White was named as the new forwards coach, and he is currently the co-coach at TA Sports. Roger Randle was the backs coach and I assume he is still involved.

                This appears to be good news.

                    Luke Whitelock has re-signed with Canterbury for 2019; not sure whether he'll play for Canterbury in 2018, because there were rumours that he'll play in Japan's Top Leauge (2018/2019 season), but I haven't seen a confirmation of him signing with a Japanese club.

                    Whetu Douglas has signed with Canterbury for 2018 and 2019.

                        What the hell? Why on earth was this not known at time of construction? Taranaki is pretty damn earthquake prone. Change of standards since Christchurch earthquakes? Massive blow to the region on top of oil & gas and engineering being hit hard.

                          Yeah, I"d be getting a peer review of the geotechnical assessment. Seems unusual, and the quality of geotech advice people get can be .... variable. Good analysis and opinion generally stands up to peer review

                            I wonder which alternative venues are available in Taranaki that are - or can be made - suitable for Mitre 10 Cup.

                              I hear the Highlander's are offering a share in their franchise for the price of one warm-up game a year at Stratford Domain.

                                @nzzp would seem a number may have dropped the ball on this, especially around the EQ Strengthening which is a big deal in commercial properties all over NZ, and more so in higher risk areas.

                                  I presume they will shift the games to the TSB Sports Hub at Hawera?

                                      Pffft and the doubters didn't believe we could hold the shield for the entire 2019 season.

                                      Well played TRFU, well played indeed.
