This week's guest has gone from an upbringing on Stewart Island and at Southland Boys High School to being potentially the most influential man in New Zealand rugby. Rob Nichol has been the Chief Executive of the New Zealand Rugby Players Association since its inception and we trace his journey from his formative years in the south to today and find out where he is finding the time to resurrect the Godzone adventure race.
Before then, Logan, Nathan & Nick look at the big Southland sporting stories of the week including the Sharks' win over the Nuggets, Rugby Southland potentially finding their Blair Ryall replacement and a key southern football derby this weekend. Give us a rate and a review if you're that way inclined and follow @theroarpodcastnz on Facebook, Instagram or YouTube.
