Rugby News - November 2024

In this issue

In this issue, we bring you an exclusive interview with departing All Black and Test centurion Sam Cane.
We wrap a fun and compelling NPC, while we ask if the Crusaders and Canterbury are in decline or whether 2024 was just a clip. Akira Ioane is leaving New Zealand rugby and we delve into why he is such an enigma. Rikki Swannell talks to Sarah Hirini on what still motivates the woman who has won everything in the game.

Rugby News Magazine Description:

Do not bother with cheap imitations. We are the pulse of the nation’s national game, and have been for nearly 50 years.

We call on a stable of the country’s best rugby scribes, including new editor Campbell Burnes, Phil Gifford, Liam Napier, Jim Kayes and Richard Knowler, along with stats guru Paul Neazor to bring you all the insight and analysis you need to accompany your rugby watching. Ian Jones, Craig Dowd and Jeremy Paul offer knowledgeable regular columns from their vast experience at international level.

Our focus on grassroots rugby from club to school to provincial, not to mention women’s and sevens, gives us a vital point of difference and antidote to the saturation coverage of the top end of the game. We do not neglect the game’s history and there is plenty for you rugby nostalgics to sink your teeth into with our new features ‘Where are they now?’ and ‘My Favourite Player.’

Still cheaper than a rum and a coke, Rugby News continues to offer full value for money and is a must for any serious follower of the game.
