NZ Sports, An Introduction
Another new to you, but actually old, podcast is here and you can listen over in the concepts area of the blog. This episode was recorded back in May 2021 just after the release of the details for the first Silver Lake deal with the NZ Rugby Union, and the controversy around that as the players and some fans didn't like it. This episode covers the way sport is played in NZ, and how where you come from or what school you go to impacts on which sport you end up playing. It also covers how new sports, and especially American sports, are changing this dynamic with US colleges looking for new talent here in NZ.
Mr NumberNine and myself are hoping to record a follow up to this episode within the next month, as there are updates to the Silver Lake deal and also the new Super Rugby and NRL seasons are due to start again at the end of February.
