FRIDAY 23 APRIL, 7.05PM
FMG STADIUM WAIKATO Salute to
ANZAC
–1–
Dear Reader,
We know that you know we’ve been taking
care of Kiwi farmers since the 1930s
… but DID YOU ALSO KNOW that we’re
pretty big in the security and fuel systems
industries too?
Security
With over 800 team members on our
New Zealand sites (and more than 1000
globally), our solutions can be found in over
160 countries.
If you’re a farmer then you’ll likely already
know how our smart farm systems help
you. But DID YOU ALSO KNOW that our
world beating security platforms look after
students, office workers, nurses, doctors,
patients, prison officers, bankers, miners
and many, many more, all over the globe.
Be it keeping the lights on by protecting
the UK’s national power infrastructure, Animal
the iron ore flowing in Western Australia or
providing instant lockdown at Harrisburg
Management
District school in South Dakota, our high
tech access control takes care of people
just about everywhere you can think of.
And we even provide fuel dispensers
for around 80 per cent of fuel retailers
throughout Australasia.
To say we’re proudly powered from New
Zealand is an understatement.
We hope you enjoy today’s game! Fuel
The team at Gallagher Systems

COACH COMMENT
Kia ora Chiefs Whanau,
The Gallagher Chiefs team were ecstatic with the
number of supporters who filled the stands at last
week’s home game at FMG Stadium Waikato, and hope
to hear you all again tonight.
CLAYTON
MCMILLAN In the spirit of ANZAC Day the coaching staff and
Gallagher Chiefs Gallagher Chiefs team had the privilege of having
Interim Head Coach
an enjoyable dinner at the Hamilton RSA on Monday
evening. It was a great night with the RSA’s veterans,
patrons and their families. Tonight we will look forward to
honouring the men and women who have played their
part in history and continue to serve us today.
The team were pleased to have won last week as it
kept us alive in an extremely tight competition. Small
moments are determining the outcome of games and
we have been on the right side of the ledger in recent
weeks. Conversely the Hurricanes have been really
unlucky and are a far more formidable side than what
the points table indicates. Tonight is going to be a
challenging and tight clash for you to enjoy and we hope
you’re entertained once again this evening.

CEO COMMENT
Kia Ora and welcome to FMG Stadium Waikato this evening.
This evening we will join together to honour the ANZACs
and acknowledge all men and women who have served
and continue to serve our country. Last Friday several of our
Gallagher Chiefs players joined the Splice Construction Magic
MICHAEL in the poppy collection for the Hamilton RSA’s Poppy Appeal.
COLLINS
Chiefs Rugby Club CEO
On Monday evening the Gallagher Chiefs team and coaching
group joined local RSA patrons, veterans and their families for
dinner. Tonight we welcome the Hamilton RSA’s patrons and
veterans.
Our ANZAC commemoration activities kick off this evening
with poppy collection from the Cadets at the gate, please
give generously. Prior to kick-off, both teams will take the
field for the reading of The Ode, playing of the Last Post, a
moment’s silence, followed by The Reveille before the start of
an exciting game against the Hurricanes.
While tonight’s game is our last scheduled match for the Sky
Super Rugby Aotearoa competition, we hope to see our
supporters travel north to Eden Park next week to be a part
of history when the Waitomo Chiefs Women take the field
against the Blues Women in the Sky Super Rugby Aotearoa
double header on Saturday 1 May. For more information on
this fixture see www.chiefs.co.nz
All the best to the match officials and both teams, we are
certain there will be a great contest on display.

COACHING
TEAM
CLAYTON
MCMILLAN
INTERIM HEAD COACH
The current Maori All Blacks Head Coach and
former Bay of Plenty Rugby Head Coach, will take
up the role as Interim Head Coach for the Gallagher
Chiefs in 2021, in absence of Gallagher Chiefs
Head Coach Warren Gatland Heads who will be
heading the British & Irish Lions for his third tour.
The Bay of Plenty centurion transitioned into
coaching eighteen years ago while finishing
playing professionally in Japan.
Upon his return to New Zealand he has
held several age group and club roles
in both Bay of Plenty and Wellington
before taking the reins of his home
province in 2015.
In 2017 McMillan was appointed
as the New Zealand Provincial
Barbarians Head Coach to
face the British and Irish Lions
during their 2017 tour of New
Zealand. Later that year he was
announced as the incoming Maori
All Blacks Head Coach. McMillan
has since led tours to the Northern
Hemisphere, America and Fiji.
In 2019 McMillan lead the Bay of Plenty
Steamers to victory, claiming the Mitre
10 Cup Championship title at Rotorua
International Stadium.
– 16 –NEIL BARNES
FORWARDS COACH
Barnes has been a key cog in the wheel
at the Gallagher Chiefs. The Taranaki
dairy farmer brings a wealth of coaching
experience having spent seven years away
including two Rugby World Cup campaigns
as the Canadian Maples forwards coach. In
2018 Barnes returned home to take up the
Gallagher Chiefs assistant coach role. Since
his return he has continued to add to his
coaching resume completing his third Rugby
World Cup campaign, this time with Fiji as
their assistant coach.
ROGER RANDLE
ATTACK COACH
Former All Black, New Zealand Sevens
and Gallagher Chiefs player Roger
Randle will head the Gallagher Chiefs
attack. Randle moved into coaching late
in his playing career, his coaching career
now spanning over ten years provides
a wealth of attack coaching experience
across both provincial and international
rugby. The Maori All Blacks and Waikato
assistant coach will continue to build on his
coaching resume with the Gallagher Chiefs
in 2021.
– 17 –DAVID HILL
ASSISTANT COACH
Former Gallagher Chiefs and All Blacks
first five-eighth and New Zealand Under
20 Assistant Coach David Hill continues
with the Gallagher Chiefs coaching staff in
2021 as an Assistant Coach. Hilly moves
from a skill development role into an
Assistant Coach in 2021 and has a wealth
of knowledge from his professional
playing and coaching career.
NICK WHITE
SCRUM COACH
Another former player turning his hand
to coaching, Nick White, was a prop for
Northland, Auckland, the Crusaders, the
Highlanders, the Blues and New Zealand A
before retiring. From there he joined the Blues
as scrum coach in 2012 which then followed
onto his appointment as head coach for
Auckland in 2016.
White joined the Gallagher Chiefs as scrum
coach for the 2018 season. He has been
instrumental in the performance of the
Gallagher Chiefs scrummaging since the
beginning of his tenure and will continue to
hold his role as scrum coach.
