Southern Steel netball coach Reinga Bloxham called time on her tenure with the team she has coached for the last 11 years, for an international opportunity with the Cardiff Dragons in the new UK Super League Netball 2.0.

She reflects on her time with Steel, why now was the time to move on and remembers one of the south's most incredible sporting stories, the Steel's "van crash" of 2017.

Before then, Logan, Nathan and Nick previews Southland's Olympians, Bloxham's emotional farewell game, the Stags' build-up to their first pre-season game against Otago and whether Southland needs to get serious about women's rugby.
