Extra Time: Why does New Zealand Rugby keep getting it wrong?

3:17 pm on 9 October 2020

New Zealand Rugby has fallen out with its southern hemisphere partners, again turned its back on its Pacific neighbours and damaged its relationship with its players.

And it's all being played out in public.

Has NZR been arrogant in how it's handled itself and perhaps more importantly can its relationships be repaired?

Join Brenton Vannisselroy on RNZ's Extra Time as we hear from Aayden Clarke, head of Pacific Rugby Players, former New Zealand and Wales rugby boss David Moffett, Christy Doran of rugby.com.au and RNZ rugby reporter Joe Porter as they discuss the events of the past few weeks.

We also hear from Australia netball captain Caitlin Bassett, who explains just why she's walking away from Australian domestic netball to join the Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic next year.
