Graham Henry investit dans l’immobilier aux Fidji
Les liens qui se créent dans le rugby vont au-delà du simple jeu. Et ce que rapporte le Fiji Times illustre à merveille ce constat.

Cela fait plusieurs années que l’ancien sélectionneur des All Blacks période 2004-2011, Graham Henry, a fait le choix d’investir dans des projets immobiliers en Océanie. D’abord dans les Tonga, puis désormais aux Fidji.
Il a même été suivi sur ce terrain par son ancien adjoint Wayne Smith, ancien maître à penser des Black Ferns et aujourd’hui entraîneur de la performance des deux équipes nationales à XV, hommes et femmes.
Le Haut-Commissaire des Fidji en Nouvelle-Zélande a en effet rencontré récemment Graham Henry pour évoquer avec lui un projet de partenariat public-privé en faveur du logement abordable pour la population, le Affordable Housing Project.
3000 logements résistants aux forces du climat
Le gouvernement fidjien a en effet réservé des sites à Davuilevu, Nepani, Wainibuku et Raiwaqa, ainsi qu’à Tavakubu, Lautoka et Tavua pour développer le premier projet pilote, qui devrait fournir environ 3 000 logements qui seront des structures résistantes au climat, écologiques et conformes aux cyclones de catégorie 5.
Le gouvernement fidjien prévoit de sélectionner un promoteur privé pour le projet, afin que la construction puisse commencer à la mi-2024.
« Sir Graham a évoqué sa longue association avec les Fidji, qui remonte à l’époque où il était instituteur à l’Auckland Grammar School et à la tournée de cinq matchs de l’équipe des Fidji dans les années 70 », rapporte le Fiji Times.
Comments on RugbyPass
I like the idea, in NZ the Ranfurly Shield and NPC coexist, both having their own bragging rights. The World Cup would be the pinnacle, but the competition and travels of these trophies would be interesting.

41 Go to commentsI’m not surprised by such ‘virtue signalling’ by Sonny Boy. Butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth. He’s such a pious Islamic muppet, imo.
41 Go to commentsI’ve actually never heard of the guy (then I don’t watch League as it is boring). But if he is good enough.. then good luck to him. If not, well, he can always return to league.

40 Go to commentsDickson went to his pocket for a card, saw who it was, changed his mind and spoke at length to TMO. One angle clearly shows Care diving over a Saints player to kill the ball. 1st yellow, reason given for not Red was player was falling backwards. He was only falling backwards after contact with Lawes. Graham try should have stood. Mitchell did not have both hands on the ball, ball went forward from a Saints boot dragging over it. 2 intentional knock-on's. One of which had an overlap on the outside. If Quins are happy to win by intentional foul play, then it does not say much for them. Would appear to be a bad day for Karl Dickson, also for the RFU in appointing a Ref who spent 8 years as a player at one of the clubs.

Even in this performance you can see what did him in in the test arena..he almost always still runs at the opposition almost ramrod upright making him easier to stop than it should be.

2 Go to commentsInteresting comments about Touch. England’s hosting the Touch World Cup this year and the numbers have exploded since their last World Cup in 2019, something like 70% more teams and 40 nations taking part. And England Touch have made a big thing about how many universities are in their BUCS University Touch Championship as well as Sport England membership. Can only see this growing even more domestically as more people become aware of it

Hitherto so many pundits have been wittering on about Finlay Christie to the point one wondered if they were observing a FC in a parallel universe where the FC they saw wasnt just the mediocre Shayne Philpott project of Fosters hapless AB reign in the real world. Ratima, Perenara and Fakatava are the ONLY logical 9s for Razor now Roigard is crocked.

4 Go to commentsNow if they could just fire the Crusaders ground PA guy who likes to play his dance music and just loves the sound of his own voice the entire game, even when play is going on. And I thought their brass band thing of a few years ago was bad.
5 Go to commentsUnfortunately when you lose by far the two form players this season in Roigard and Aumua, you're left replacing two game changing Tanks with a couple of pea-shooters. Which is also about the speed of TJs pass.
