He is thoroughly professional both on and off the field of play and it was a fitting tribute to him that he was our captain when we lifted the Ranfurly Shield for the first time in 44 years this season.” “Not only will his tenacity and excellent leadership be missed, he is also a thoroughly likeable human being who is very popular with fans and sponsors of all ages”, Bishop further stated. “I have loved every minute of my time here in the Bay, and it was a very tough decision to decide to move away. I’m really looking forward to this new chapter of my rugby career in Edinburgh, but first and foremost I am determined to help the Magpies win the ITM Cup Championship this year”.
