From Extra Time, 3:33 pm on 6 November 2020

Former New Zealand Netball and Rugby Australia boss Raelene Castle has been appointed as chief executive of Sport New Zealand, but what direction does she want to take the organisation?

Is her vision good for community and high performance sport? Do those areas complement each other or are they at odds? Where should Sport New Zealand's focus be? Does club sport need to be given priority over winning international events and how does the organisation address the declining participation numbers?
