Ryan. The problem is everyone wants the government to do something, but no one can say what the something is. Rod is a case in point. That's Rod Duke, who's the brisco's boss. Just on the program, he said the government needs to get its a enter g. That's the polite way of saying it, paraphrasing. But what exactly that means. No one's really certain of, are they? And the IMF actually has some thoughts on this. I'll tell you what they think. Caution it's boring, but I'll tell you what they think. And predictable later on in the program right now, never boring, never predictable Darcy water Graves or us.

And they're going to have some time smaller fields. They're basically trying to simplify the grassroots of the game. We're going to be joined by Mike Hester tonight her participation at NZ talking about what they're trying to put in place. Now, these are proposals, and they're running them through the clubs, and they're running them past everybody concerns, as parents, school kids, coaches, the whole lot, because they want to retain players and they want players to enjoy the game from a younger age because once you get your hooks into them when they're young, you keep them for a long time.

So hasn't it sort of worked with ripper rugby.

So hasn't it sort of worked with ripper rugby.

Yeah, but you've got to progress through the stages till he become full blown adult players with full tackle, full scrums, full lineouts. And part of the issue with this here is that players at a younger age get pigeonholed into roles that they probably don't need to be and like this short, fat kid becomes a prop at eight. What they want to do is have all of the young players experience the full gamut of rugby and what it means. So you run and you pass, and your kick and you tackle, and you have fun with your mates, and then you start solidifying your role as you get older, and you start understanding the game a lot, So you.

That, or there will be I think the elephant in the room around participation, though, is concussion, and that's something that has to be addressed. And we'll talk to Mike about that, because there's something they're acutely aware of as mums and dads not one of their kids playing the game because they're afraid of that.

He's got an achilles He hit a pop apparently hit and on the goals. No, no, no, no, it's just cruising. It wasn't on the golf something, so might not come to the Masters. I suppose it's not already an issue because everybody he can decide when they want to retire. But you look at the way Tiger is saying on for grim Dead, I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going anywhere. Kind of your body's falling apart. Mate, Maybe you should just like cut yourself some slack and maybe turn up the Masters every now and then. I mean, it's got nothing left to prove, bro. But again, that's his decision. It's his life, and if he wants to keep you can get to the Seniors if he wants, and get beaten by Steven Elkert.

Hey, Sir Jim Redcliffe very quickly says he's got no money, and then he's spent How much has he spent on the stadium.

The stadium is proposed to cost two billion pounds, so about four point five billion New Zealand dollars. Let's not forget that Manchester Night.
