The Blues staffing jigsaw puzzle is finally getting together following the inclusion of North Harbour coach Steve Jackson being called in as the assistant coach.
Jackson will take charge of the forwards, succeeding Black Ferns coach Glenn Moore, who was off contract while Auckland's Nick White lost his scrum coach role after it was disestablished.
Jackson had previously worked well with Blues coach Tana Umaga when they collaborated at Counties Manukau which also resulted in the success of the Ranfurly Shield and reached the 2013 Premiership semifinals.
He also helped take the Steelers forward pack from being a talented group prone to flimsiness to a physical unit who excelled at set‑piece.
Jackson will be joining the Blues after his three year deal with Harbour ends next month after the competition.
