We like to keep our content evergreen, but with what's about to transpire come Saturday, I thought to post this, hot off the press.
Please welcome, Jamie Wall.
Jamie Wall grew up in Wellington, New Zealand and now is based in Auckland as a rugby writer. Was in SA to cover the two All Black test matches and works for RNZ now . We talked All Blacks as a brand and what touring means as a journalist Some of his career highlights:
• Covering the All Blacks as a touring journalist since 2017
• Publishing four books, including the best selling Brothers In Black
• Attending the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan and covering the All Blacks’ campaign
I've been covering rugby and league for the last six seasons for a few websites, plus I've been an active player of both for the last 30. He know what it's like to be at the bottom of a ruck, have to throw into a line-out five metres off your own goal line and get worked over by a guy twice my size after an ill-advised dart from dummy half. -
