It's the highlight of many rugby players' careers in Aotearoa. The story of the day they play for the Ranfurly Shield is told for generations, but for the 2024 South Canterbury squad, the dream to challenge for the coveted log o' wood has been crushed under financial pressures. Sports reporter Jonty Dine speaks to Susana Lei'ataua.

Even our sports are being impacted by the rising costs and turbulent economy.  South Canterbury Rugby Union have had to pull out of the Ranfurly Shield as they can't afford to play.  CEO Tim Hyde-Smith told Mike Hosking that it would cost them about $50,000 to get up to Hawke's Bay to challenge the Magpies for the shield, of which they only managed to raise 30%.  He said that they'd been very privileged to challenge the last two years, but sponsorship and grant money wasn't forthcoming this year.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
