Southland Stags' hooker Jack Taylor joins The Roar to look at the Stag's incredible fortnight, registering back-to-back wins in the NPC for the first time since 2014 and set to try and lift the Ranfurly Shield in Hamilton on Sunday. Plus we take a look at his younger brother Jimmy's chances of captaining his old school, Southland Boys High, to another national secondary schools title in Palmerston North this weekend.We also fully unpack the chair throw from Stags' coach Nathan White at halftime in the Manawatu game which appears to have single-handedly turned the season around! Before then Logan, Nathan and Nick look at the big stories of the last week including the Stags, Boys High, the Southern Steel's first player announcements for 2026 and also hear from Nathan White ahead of Sunday's Shield challenge.Give us a rate and a review if you're that way inclined and follow @theroarpodcastnz on Facebook, Instagram or YouTube.Got a Southland sporting story or just some general banter to share?
