Moves are underway in some sporting codes to ensure the cultural mix of athletes on teams will be reflected in other roles, including management and coaching. Former All Black centre Saveatama Eroni Clarke was recently appointed New Zealand Rugby's first Pasifika Engagement Manager. The role partially came out of the Respect and Responsibility Review in 2017, which highlighted issues around player welfare and participation numbers in the game.
