Pita Ahki is living proof that careers aren't always built in a straight line.From struggling for opportunities in New Zealand and watching contracts dry up, to being told by Toulouse doctors that he had a “bad knee” and might not even get signed — Ahki's journey could have gone very differently. Instead, he backed himself, took the gamble, and went on to become a 5x Top 14 champion and 2x Champions Cup winner in one of the toughest competitions in world rugby.In this episode of What a Lad, Pita opens up about the tough years at the Blues and Hurricanes, asking Super Rugby teams for any opportunity just to stay in the system, nearly walking away from the game after failing a medical in France, and the sliding doors moment that changed everything.In this episode, we cover…- Growing up in Auckland and the Kelston Boys brotherhood- Making NZ U20s and starting NPC straight out of school- The struggles of injury battles while trying to crack it- Asking Super Rugby teams for wider training — and getting nothing- Taking a six-month deal at Connacht just to stay alive in the game- Flying to Toulouse, signing a pre-contract, and being told he had a “bad knee”- Nearly walking away from rugby - Starting a Top 14 final and chasing that feeling year after year- Winning 5 Top 14 titles and 2 Champions Cups- Life in France, the culture, and playing with Antoine Dupont- Representing Tonga at a Rugby World Cup- Why he returned to the blues- And of course his memory of the classic Pita Pit prank!This episode is a deep dive into resilience, growth, sacrifice, and what it really takes to turn rejection into legacy. It's honest, reflective, and full of perspective from a man who's seen both sides of the game. Pita is a champion man, such a legend and it's awesome seeing him back out there in Super Rugby!

It was a weekend of our favourite sporting delicacy: beautiful, chaotic upsets and we are absolutely feasting. Ireland didn't just beat England… they systematically dismantled them, with Jamison Gibson-Park running the show like a man who had the English defence on puppet strings. Every counter looked dangerous, every breakdown felt Irish, and England had absolutely no answers. Down south, the rugby gods delivered something even more outrageous: the Crusaders didn't just lose — they got hammered. The Brumbies dropped a half-century on them in Christchurch for their first win there in 26 years. Nobody saw it coming, everybody enjoyed it (well… almost everybody). Wales, after weeks of looking like rugby's saddest soap opera, finally resembled a functioning rugby side again. They still went down to a street-tough, slightly fortunate Scotland — but at least this time there were signs of life and something to actually laugh with instead of at. We also get stuck into France continuing to look like the team to beat, Italy continuing to be awkwardly competitive, and a Super Rugby round that delivered chaos, entertainment, and confirmation that the Blues still look shaky even when they scrape past the Force. Upsets, chaos, schadenfreude, and a healthy dose of nonsense. Grab a beer and enjoy.

Ant is back from faraway lands with a scouting report from Georgia (spoiler: they don't know much about SA rugby… except that we're good), and the boys dive into a proper Six Nations mid-tournament temperature check. We unpack three weeks of Six Nations chaos: France looking like the only adults in the room, Ireland nearly getting Italy'd in Dublin, Scotland doing Scotland things (again), and England discovering that a 12-game streak doesn't stop you getting put to the sword. Along the way we argue about drifting passes, TMOs who simply can't help themselves, and whether gold boots are basically a cursed captaincy announcement. Then it's a quick whip around the globe: SA's new U20/U23 Currie Cup bridge (and the return of curtain-raiser nostalgia), early Super Rugby weirdness (Brumbies statement win, Crusaders in the mud, and the usual “it's early” cop-outs), URC's return, and Varsity Cup's latest mad-scientist scoring rule.

This week the Six Nations roared and rusted to life. We kick things off with France coming out hotter than a sizzling baguette at Stade de France, leaving Ireland flatter than day-old Guinness. Then, we revel in Italy's glorious ambush of Scotland,proving once again that it's tough being Scottish. And, if you thought Wales couldn't dig deeper, think again: their performance was a full-on Fawlty Towers episode, while England casually strolled in and gave them a rugby spanking. We also look forward to Super Rugby getting started and unpack some of the new law changes. Grab a beer and enjoy
