Next up: Tiv Guthrie. Former Touch Black & in my opinion one of the most influential people in our sport, in the world. That’ll make sense within 5 minutes of listening.

Really stoked to get this over the line. Tiv is one of the best minds in our game. You’ll enjoy this listen.

I get asked this heaps. As we gear up for new episodes, here’s the leaderboard as of today. Any surprises for you?

Fun fact, none of these episodes have been streamed less than 5,000 times.

New eps soon.

While over in Australia, I got to witness Hall of Famer Tony Trad be awarded a framed Emus strip in acknowledgement of 100 tests representing Australia as a Coach, probably the greatest of all time.

My bro Scotty Mac did a good job asking a few questions following the presentation.. closest you’ll get Traddy to an appearance in the Late Switch Podcast, brother - he’s a Touch Project OG 😘😂

Seriously though - what a seriously impressive resume, and an even more impressive human being. A proud Australian & someone who deserved this acknowledgment (& then some!).

I’m blessed to call you a bro, Traddy. Congratulations on the first half of your career. Excited for what’s next! ;)

🐐

Touch New Zealand is proud to congratulate Peter Walters, who was today made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to Touch Rugby.

Peter Walters ONZM has a resume that stretches many decades. His service to our sport both domestically & around the world is widely respected, appreciated & celebrated. Mr Touch truly is known throughout the Galaxy.

In an interview with Whakaata Māori earlier this year, Pete was asked how he has managed to stay passionately involved for so long —

"One of the big things that keeps me going, and why I'm still running around today, is that this is my fun thing. This is the thing that, whether I was 20 or in my 60s now, it's always been my fun first and foremost.”

Congrats, Mr Touch. We’re proud of you & thank you for your service. Past, present & well into the future.
