Former All Blacks selector and North Harbour coach Peter Thorburn has passed away following a short illness. He was 81.Thorburn was the inaugural coach of North Harbour when the union formed in 1985 as a breakaway from Auckland. He also led the New Zealand Sevens team before Gordon Tietjens took over in 1994.He had two stints as an All Black selector, first in the early 1990s and then between 2000 and 2001.Thorburn also coached the United States at the 2007 World Cup and Bristol in the English Premiership between 2002 and 2003, and was renowned for his insatiable appetite for watching rugby.North Harbour Rugby confirmed his death in a social media post."Our thoughts go to the family and friends of Peter who was such an instrumental person in the formation of the Union, but also so respected for more than just his coaching by all rugby people, "said North Harbour Rugby chairman Gerard van Tilborg said in a statement."Peter was always an astute thinker around the game. He was inspirational to a huge number of players and coaches creating many original and creative plays which became a hallmark of North Harbour rugby with high entertainment and player flair. He will be well remembered fondly and missed by all who knew him."He was made a Life Member of the North Harbour Union in 2005, the third person ever to be given this honour.In 2013 Thorburn he received the Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM) for services to rugby.It was a listing in the Herald that convinced Thorburn that rugby players north of the harbour bridge needed their own union.In 1977 the Herald published the names of trialists for the Auckland U17 rugby team."There were 117 names and only three from the other side of the bridge,'' he told the newspaper in 2013.When the union came into existence in 1985, Thorburn was the head coach. Harbour's elevation to the NPC's first division in just its third season was the highlight of a 47-year career playing, coaching and administrating rugby, he said in 2013.

Dallas Fisher, joint promoter Hamilton Sevens, on ordering enough beer for the weekend! He also gave an emphatic ‘yes’ to having the facilities for hosting a Womens’ tournament run concurrently.The sold-out New Zealand Sevens in Hamilton this weekend is estimated to bring more than $5 million of outside money into the city and leaves no-one in doubt about the quality of Waikato's events industry, says co-promoter Dallas Fisher.The Waikato business leader, managing director of new private investor company 37 South, formed to own 25 per cent of the Sevens Hamilton event in a partnership with New Zealand Rugby, said the 45-game event at the FMG Waikato Stadium would be a festival of broad-based entertainment, live music and hospitality for all ages in a secure environment.The two-day Sevens, lost by Wellington to Hamilton after years of wilting fan and corporate support, was costing about $2.5 million to hold, said Fisher.Tickets had sold out in September, with 23,500 tickets "genuinely" sold to the first cashless rugby game in New Zealand, he said.Ticket holders will wear electronic wristbands loaded with nominated spending amounts, intended to cut queues and help monitor alcohol purchases.About 1500 children were expected among the families attending, and more than 1500 event staff and volunteers would be on site over each of the two days, Fisher said.Families and children will be separated - and in their own large amusement ride area - screened from 9000 Sevens revellers who can move between their own viewing stand in the stadium and the designated R18 "party" area.Unlimited admittance to entertainment areas for the respective groups was included in the ticket prices of $87 to $97, Fisher said.He was "over the moon" at the corporate attendance response. Guests will include World Rugby chief executive Brett Gosper.Montana Catering, co-owned by Fisher and Troy Reid, is New Zealand's biggest privately-owned caterer and holds the catering contract for Hamilton's stadium. It also employs 100 people in its Auckland operations under the company name Flame Tree Kitchen.Forty Montana chefs and dozens of staff over the two days will serve up more than 1.5 tonne of chicken, beef and lamb, including 150 whole briskets to become Texas barbecue, and 20kg of salmon. Desserts include more than 21,000 hand-made gingerbread kisses and tarts.
