    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

Q: What makes this Ranfurly Shield defense different, and how are you embracing that moment?

Q: How has the week been with the shield in the region and preparing for the defense?

Q: So how much did you understand about Apartheid before you arrived? And how much did you come to understand once you were there?
Osborne explains he was naïve at first but gained deeper insight by visiting communities and observing how people lived, which broadened his perspective beyond the sport itself.
