The People's Game
Touch has been the starting point for countless athletes who went on to shine in other sports. From Richie Mo'unga to Jenny-May Clarkson, Stacey Waaka, Tyla King and many more, a whole cast of former players share their journeys.
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.
