School’s National Championship 1st XV Coach Done for Assault


Robert Simpkins (a.k.a Robert Ngarimu) was a hooker for the Bay of Plenty Steamers NPC at one stage. 
 
Let's not forget North Harbour and The Chiefs for good measure. 

Since his retirement from the sport he’s now turned his hands, as in clenched, to coaching rugby. 

To the highest level you can in N.Z Schoolboys.  

He’s the coach of the current N.Z champs; Rotorua Boys High. 

Well up-till last Friday that was.  

Him and his old-man have just pled guilty to two charges of assault on a child under 14 and one charge of injuring to injure – if the later charge makes sense?  

Far be it for moi to suggest this affair may well make him an even more a suitable candidate to coach rugby in this country.
 
The gory details can be located here.

Next I'll be blogging about it snowing in Russia during winter.
