ODT Rugby Chat: Otago's new high-performance manager

On ODT Rugby Chat this week brought to you by Garador we catch up with the new high-performance manager at Otago rugby Brayden Peterson and the Ref recruitment officer Brandon Hale.

We find out a bit about Brayden’s journey back to Otago and what the role is.

He’s only been in the job a couple of weeks but we find out if he’s come to blows with Southland yet over player poaching or if they are playing nicely in the same sandpit. 

We find out from Brandon why we are recruiting French refs now, where we are with local numbers and local success stories.

We hear on the grapevine he may have a big milestone coming up this weekend and we ask the hard question, why is “Milly” Milburn picking the refs this year?
