Chiefs to announce licensing agreement today

06:12 am on 10 December 2013

The Chiefs will announce their new licensing arrangement this morning, with plenty of interest in whether the Taranaki Rugby Union will be involved.

It is expected that a consortium will take over the running of the 2-time defending Super Rugby champions.

The Taranaki Rugby Union has previously stated they want to be a part of the Chiefs.

Part of their bid was to get the Chiefs to play matches in New Plymouth.

Taranaki has been a part of the Hurricanes franchise since the start of Super Rugby.
