Smith stands down as Head Coach for tour
Black Ferns Head Coach, Greg Smith, has voluntarily stood down from his role for the team’s upcoming tour to Canada.
This follows Waikato Rugby’s judicial decision to suspend him from coaching for 14 weeks.
New Zealand Rugby and Smith yesterday agreed that the decision to step down was in the best interests of the team for the upcoming tour.
New Zealand Rugby will secure an interim Head Coach this week and the Black Ferns tour will go ahead as planned.
As this is an employment matter, no further comment will be provided.
The Black Ferns will play Canada, USA and England in the international series from 27 June to 5 July.
