There is nothing worse than hearing someone say “back in my day”! Well, I am heading down that line to explain the 2017 coaching structure. I can remember like it was yesterday being named in the Otago NPC team to play Southland in the big local derby. The part I remember most was the quality of the coaching. We had two ex All Blacks in Laurie Mains and Lyn Jaffray. They really knew their rugby.

It is at this time of the year I am constantly asked by fans, journalists, sponsors, staff and even the board, how many places are available in this year’s Makos squad? It becomes a very pertinent question after the coaches have watched the NPD Tasman Trophy series and the mid-season trial.

It is my belief that over the last three years the cross-regional NPD Tasman Trophy has produced skillful and passionate grassroots rugby of the highest order. It has become the pinnacle competition for the coaches to eye players when selecting the Tasman Makos squad and last year this competition produced 14 Makos players.
