    Big fan of Marty and listened most days when he was on during the but struggle to be able to listen to the show on weekends so have had a look at the podcasts. What a mess!! Who ever put this together needs an uppercut, unnecessarily hard to navigate through. Probably the worst I’ve seen

Lisa Trusler: Nelson Rugby Football Junior Club Captain on the decision to scrap fees for juniors
Q: How did you balance encouraging more participation with the financial impact on the club?

Mike Hester: New Zealand Rugby Head of Participation and Development on the shortage of specialist front rowers at a club level

Mike Hester: New Zealand Rugby Head of Participation and Development on the shortage of specialist front rowers at a club level
Q: How concerned is NZR about reports that clubs are struggling to find enough specialist front rowers to field in their premier teams?
NZR acknowledges it's a long-standing issue and highlights both short-term flexibility, like allowing uncontested scrums when necessary, and long-term efforts to broaden exposure to front row roles and improve the pipeline from junior levels.
