With the Blues failing to make a Super Rugby playoff appearance since 2011, former All Blacks coach John Hart, has revealed how he plans to turn the Super Rugby club around.
Hart who was recently appointed to the Board after a restructure stated that after a 2 hour workshop involving the chairmen, CEOs, high performance managers and coaches of Auckland, North Harbour, Northland and the Blues, Hart says that he is happy that they are going to look at how they can do things better.
He adds that they will also look at how their academies could work better, and how they could co‑ordinate better this year.
Hart believes new Blues head coach Leon MacDonald will be key, with his experience and success with the Crusaders and Tasman earning him the top role.
Hart is aware that the side won’t transform instantly, but is confident that strides in the right direction have already been made.
Meanwhile the Blues will kick off their season against the Crusaders in February.
