interesting that WOB, he the Naki's forward coach, pretty keen on his style, plenty of positive chat from players working with him etc. I thought he would be favourite to take Naki head coach when Barnes packs it in in a year or so.
Just to add to that WOB, was laughing to mate in Aus yesterday, here we were last week , and main news on tv was showing the Chiefs at per-season training, talking to Gibbes as new coach, even was talk one night last week on news about who had started season with top Bronco at Highlanders. That stuff doesn't just get on tv by them tv chasing it up, the Super clubs/NZR seem always do bloody good here with trying to keep the game front and centre of everyones mind. WC draw was pretty high up in sports news last night too I thought. Maybe I notice it a bit more after living in Aus for 20 odd years and so notice the difference?
