Greg Muir, presidente degli Auckland Blues si è dimesso dalla sua carica. Le dimissioni, ha fatto sapere lo stesso Muir sono irrevocabili e immediate.
Motivi specifici non si conoscono, in una nota i Blues fanno sapere che Muir ha detto di avere “altri bussiness da seguire”. La notizia arriva a poche ore dall’ennesimo ko dei Blues nel Super Rugby, subìto per mano di un’altra squadra in difficoltà, i Melbourne Rebels. La squadra è ultima sia nella classifica di conference che in quella generale.
Ora la franchigia neozelandese smentisce che le due cose siano collegate, ma in molto a Auckland pensano che anche l’allenatore Pat Lam non durerà a lungo sulla panchina se le cose non dovessero cambiare.

The final score is Rebels 34 (11) Blues 23 (9).
