Kiwi football star Finn Surman is back in the country. 

He was stateside for the last half season, playing in the Major League Soccer franchise for the Portland Timbers.  

He joined Piney for a chat about what it’s been like to play in the MLS, and playing with the Timbers. 

Surman told him that MLS is a step up in intensity from A-League. 

“The intensity, the speed of what people do, whether that's thinking or just the actions that they do is, is just a little that little bit faster.”
