Chiefs Watch All Over Now
Kiwipie
Written by Kiwi Pie   
Monday, 01 June 2009

Regular readers of the BoP Mafia website (I'm sure there is somebody out there) will have noticed that we have been quiet for 2 months. Also the regular weekly column I began on the Chiefs tailed off after 3 weeks due to severe depression at their wretched start to the season and that 3 consecutive defeats had surely condemned them to another season of mediocrity.

Of course they went on to only lose to one more team, the Bulls in round robin and then the Bulls again in that rather embarrassing final at the weekend. During the season I thought about commenting on this improvement but didn't want to jinx them - not to mention being either too busy or too lazy to write anything.

So let's have a quick summary of the season for the Bay players.

Friday, 13 March 2009

ALL of Tauranga's one-legged chickens came home to roost yesterday, only to find the henhouse strewn with scrambled stadiums and half-boiled ideas.

 

The fifth-biggest city in New Zealand won't see any World Cup rugby games in 2011 because, quite simply, it doesn't deserve any.

 

Years of procrastination and cheap-thinking have left Western Bay without a plausible rugby stadium.

Tauranga has been snubbed as a match venue for 2011's Rugby World Cup, leaving local rugby fans upset and business leaders predicting the city will miss out on a windfall of up to $15 million a match.

 

Details of the draw and venues for the tournament were unveiled at a function in Auckland yesterday, with 48 matches to be spread across 13 grounds in Whangarei, North Harbour, Auckland, Waikato, Rotorua, New Plymouth, Napier, Palmerston North, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch, Dunedin and Invercargill.

Thursday, 05 March 2009

Former Waikato and Fijian hooker Greg Smith has been confirmed as the new head coach of the Bay of Plenty Steamers.

Smith will take over from Japan-bound Kevin Schuler, after beating off a number of high quality candidates for the role.

Former All Blacks Wayne Shelford and Liam Barry, former Mount Maunganui coach Sean Horan and former Bay of Plenty lock Steve Axtens are believed to have been among the group short- listed for the job.

Little time for talking as Bay's action man leads way
Bay of Plenty Times
Written by Jamie Troughton   
Tuesday, 03 March 2009

BRUCE Cameron comes from the era of propping where an ``impact player'' was the bloke with knuckles on his grazes.

You played 80mins full-tilt, or you were given a saucer of milk and some concrete pills and told to harden up on the sideline.

True to form, in his first annual meeting as Bay of Plenty Rugby chairman, Cameron firmly called time on the meeting right on the tick of 12.25pm, exactly an hour and 20mins after kickoff.
