NZ Rugby Chair David Kirk joins Kathryn to discuss the state of the national game and the business that runs it, in one of his first interviews since taking on the role.
NZR has had significant financial losses in recent years, including a $19.5 million loss in the last financial year, conflict between the needs of grass roots rugby and the professional game, the controversial Silverlake private equity deal and declining participation rates among young people.
David Kirk captained the All Blacks to their inaugural World Cup triumph in 1987. He says NZ Rugby is on a "sound footing" and can navigate all the challenges.
