The People's Game
Wāhine Touch teams Playin Up and Bulletz are shaping this generation of female players, meeting some of the trailblazers who paved the way. We also introduce the McIntyre whānau, with three generations proudly involved in the Touch Blacks system.
Look into the world of touch with some of the legends of the game. Touch is often underfunded and kept alive from volunteers – we learn the history, meet the legends and are with those who owe their success to touch.
