Chiefs coach Dave Rennie, talking to Aaron Goile of the Dominion Post, looks at casting his net even wider as he scours the planet for new talent.
"New Zealand rugby followers will get a closer look at Argentina next year when they join the Rugby Championship, but it might not be too long before their players are involved in our domestic competitions, too, thanks in part to new Chiefs coach Dave Rennie.
The man formerly in charge of Manawatu and New Zealand Under-20 has just returned from a week in the South American country where he, with Blues coach Pat Lam and Northland coach Adrian Ferris, ran a two-day coaching course at a Buenos Aires club for more than 200 locals.
The reason for the trip was two-fold, Rennie said. Through a contact Ferris had from way back, the trio were able to go over and impart their knowledge and help grow the game, and have a look at the Argentinian setup."
