Kyren shares his journey from Marlborough Boys’ College Rugby through Tonga Sevens, Moana Pasifika, the Rugby World Cup with Tonga , and his time with the Tasman Mako — plus his exciting move to the Chiefs for 2026.
Also in this episode:
- NPC Round 10 results and Round 11 quarter-final fixtures
- Rugby Championship wrap-up
- Congratulations to the Tasman Referee Blazer recipients
- Les shares a few final thoughts as we wrap up the regular season
Huge thanks to NBS and The Turf Hotel for keeping the Mako spirit strong both on and off the field.
