“He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the role and has a proven track record of developing players and achieving success at all levels of the game.”

Smith echoed similar sentiments adding he was excited about the opportunity to coach Waikato FPC.

“I am thrilled to be back with such a proud rugby union with a rich history of success,” Smith said.

“Waikato has a strong rugby culture, and I look forward to continuing to coach in the women’s game and to build on the success the team has achieved in a past while forging a new path for the future of this great province.”
