Blues boss and former All Blacks skipper Tana Umaga has been named the assistant coach for the Maori All Blacks.
Umaga who played for the All Blacks on 74 occasions, will accompany the side on their November tour of the United States and British Isles.
He will be joined by new assistant forwards coach Carl Hoeft.
Head coach Colin Cooper says Umaga and Hoeft would add value to his coaching set‑up through their experience and insight.
Meanwhile the All Blacks will play South Africa at 7.35pm this Saturday while Australia play Argentina at 10.05pm.
