What do you think about this appointment?
Jono Gibbes insists that when he landed back at the Chiefs in late 2023 there were never any plans to take over the top coaching role.
But two Super Rugby Pacific seasons later, here he now is, the eight-test former All Black, at the helm of the franchise he captained in many of his 69 games between 2001-2008, as he gets back on the head-coaching horse and tries to lead his former side to the promised title land.

A second inspection, arranged by property managers Harcourts, just six days later, found little to criticise.
