Welcome back to the Mako Rugby Roundup, proudly recorded at the Turf Hotel.

This week, Les and Chris are joined by one of the brightest young stars in the Mako ranks — Cooper Roberts (#238). We cover his rugby roots in Blenheim, his debut in the Mako jersey, his New Zealand U20s experience, and his goals for the future. Cooper also takes on some quickfire questions about position preferences, speed on the field, and team culture.

Also in this episode:

• NPC Round 9 results and a look ahead to Round 10
• Rugby Championship updates and the All Blacks’ campaign
• Women’s Rugby World Cup final results
• Congratulations to Nelson Bays U16s, crowned South Island Champions, and to all our local age-grade teams

Special thanks to The Turf Hotel and NBS – proud sponsors of the Mako Rugby Roundup.
