Aaron Mauger to be the new Highlanders coach

Incumbent head coach Tony Brown has said he only wants the job for this year and would rather return to being an assistant next year. Of course, he could always be persuaded to change his mind. But then again, the Highlanders might swoop for Aaron Mauger who was surprisingly let go by Leicester Tigers. Mauger was a clever footballer and is a smart man with ample coaching potential and the Highlanders would be setting themselves up to do well in the long haul if they could use the combined brain power of Brown and Mauger.
