"I have just completed my first full winter of training and I
definitely have seen a noticeable difference in my game. I am
more agile, have improved ball handling ability and have
faster feet! I give full credit to KAIWHANA in helping me
to start with the Barbarian’s Men’s 1st Team this season. I
fully recommend anyone who wants to improve their game
to contact Coach Pienaar!"

son Mitchell for most of the 2011 rugby season and I highly
recommend him. Thinus brings a level of expertise and
dedication to rugby training that has allowed Mitchell to
take his rugby skills to an even higher level."

working with the guys. I spoke to several at the end and
they were very positive about the time with you. I will
