Tana Umaga named head coach for Blues!

Former All Blacks Tana Umaga has just been announced as the new head coach for the Auckland Blues!

He replaces former head coach Sir John Kirwan after his resignation last week Friday, and is unfazed by the work ahead of him. The Auckland Blues have had a rough season, winning only 17 of 58 games - their most disappointing season to date.

"It is going to take a lot of very hard work which will be my focus. I want to let our performances on the field do the talking."

Umaga will begin his stint as head coach later on this year, once his commitments as head coach of Counties Manukau have ended.

Congrats uso!
