The rugby year has nearly reached its end. 

The All Blacks are capping off the year with the final match in their Northern Tour – a clash against Italy. 

NZ Rugby CEO Mark Robinson joined Piney to review the All Blacks’ season, and take a look at the state of the game in the country as a whole. 

“I know it’s been a challenging few years at times, but when you think of the journey we've worked through, and the fact that now we’re seeing a sort of culmination of a lot of hard work that’s going on at all levels of the game.” 

“We’re really heartened with where we’re tracking with the game.”
