New Zealand Rugby Players Association CEO Rob Nichol has been at the forefront of what has been a rather tubulent time for professional rugby.

Originally from Stewart Island, Rob moved to Auckland, initially working as a police officer, before settling on a 10-acre lifestyle block near Pokeno.

After laying the law aside, the qualified accountant turned his talents to helping run the NZRPA.

Since his time as CEO he's navigated the Silver Lake controversy, governance concerns, and eligibility rules on behalf of some of our most well known players.

Rob Nichol joined Simon Barnett and James Daniels for this week's Six and a Song.
