    All Blacks and Blues playmaker Stephen Perofeta is switching provincial allegiances


    Perofeta will play his NPC rugby for Auckland from this season after nine seasons at Taranaki.



    Former New Zealand Sevens player Jimmy Maher has been appointed as North Harbour's new coach.

    Maher has been most recently serving as an assistant coach for Counties-Manukau where he also notched 40 games during his playing days.

    He replaces Ben Afeaki at the helm.
