Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Justin Leydesdorff: NZRL chair on the NRL's possible expansion into Christchurch
Q: What role does NZRL play in guiding or coordinating the bid?
NZRL's role is advocacy and coordination, helping to align the different factions and engaging with councils, government, and investors while not necessarily running the second team themselves.
Justin Leydesdorff: NZRL chair on the NRL's possible expansion into Christchurch
Q: What are the main hurdles and what needs to happen to make this viable?
Key hurdles include funding sustainability, infrastructure, and a coherent Canterbury/Christchurch bid. The path involves governance support from ARLC, regional talent pipelines, and a unified Christchurch Inc structure to attract investment.
Justin Leydesdorff: NZRL chair on the NRL's possible expansion into Christchurch
Q: Where are we with the NZRL's plans for a second NZ team in Christchurch, and how likely is it to happen soon?
The plan isn't pie in the sky; the 20th team is likely to be either another Queensland team or a second NZ team, with strong potential for New Zealand's South Island. The timeline could be 2029 or 2030, depending on investment and broadcast deals.
Dame Noeline Taurua: Silver Ferns coach on the squad named for the 2026 Commonwealth Games
Q: How confident are you in this 12-man squad given the ongoing domestic and international challenges?
We have seen strong progression and depth across positions, and we are confident in the quality of athletes who can be fit and firing at the crucial time for the Games.
Dame Noeline Taurua: Silver Ferns coach on the squad named for the 2026 Commonwealth Games
Q: Welcome back, Noeline. How nice is it to name the Commonwealth Games squad?
It is incredibly exciting for me and for the players, their families, and the Silver Ferns as a whole; the moment marks a milestone and a clear focus for the team ahead of Glasgow.
