The Pacific Juice Podcast

I sit down with one of Fiji's greatest sons, Nicky Little. He is the most capped player from a Pacific Nation with 71 caps and is the Top point scorer by any Pacific Island player for any team in rugby history.  We look at his upbringing in New Zealand, finding his place on the Flying Fijians, how he coped with the challenges and life after rugby. An insightful talanoa with a lot of laughs.

In Episode 5 I sit down with proud Tongan, Charles Piutau. The former All Black that is now plying his trade in the UK with the Bristol Bears. We discuss his upbringing, being apart of what many say is the greatest U20 team of all-time to now having the opportunity to be able to represent his beloved homeland of Tonga and what that means to him. An insightful talanoa with one of the most talented rugby players in the game today.

In Episode 4 I sit down with one of the greats of the game. The first player of Pacific Island heritage to captain the All Blacks in a Test, a proud Samoan who carries so much mana and respect both on and off the field. Fa'alogo Tana Umaga shares some of the insights from his journey

Was great to sit down and with Moana Pasifika captain Sekope Kepu for a great talanoa. A player that carries so much humility for someone who has achieved so much. He gives us an insight into his own journey and some of the players that shaped and helped him along the way. We get some insight into some of his Moana Pasifika teammates, what it means to be pasifika, what it means to lead this team and what the future might if Toutai Kefu, the Tongan coach came knocking for the ‘Ikale Tahi.
