Western Province are tapping in to the attacking expertise of Blues specialist skills coach Paul Feeney.
The New Zealander‚ who played provincially for North Harbour as a flyhalf‚ is spending 10 days in Cape Town where he will help current coach John Dobson in looking at the union’s attack.
Feeney was also head coach of Auckland in NZ’s National Provincial Championship.
WP Director of Rugby Gert Smal said that Feeney would be consulting with all Western Province Rugby coaches in the system during his stay‚ in an attempt to bring a new perspective to their work.
"I have always been a big believer in calling on outside influences to stimulate our coaching system‚ and it is great to have someone of Paul's experience and quality to take a look at what we are doing and offer his point of view.
"Part of our vision is to nurture and develop our coaching staff at all levels‚ and with over 20 years of top level coaching experience Paul is the ideal candidate to do just that as we look to give ourselves every possible advantage. His input and perspectives have already been invaluable.
"We want to play a positive and progressive brand of rugby across all of our teams‚ and Paul will be able to challenge our coaches to make some serious strides towards that goal.”
