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 –2–

2021 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. – 13 –
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. – 14 –
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. – 15 –
