On Sports Fix with D'Arcy Waldegrave and Jason Pine for 19th February 2026, this week it was announced that there would be changes to the eligibility laws allowing Kiwis to represent either state - providing they meet the eligibility criteria. This has sparked several Kiwi stars speaking out saying that they would be interested in playing, while Jahrome Hughes has come out saying he isn't interested. Greg Peters is the CEO of NZRL and he joined D'Arcy to discuss what these changes will mean for Kiwis players. D'Arcy shares his thoughts on turnover in New Zealand Rugby. And D'Arcy and Piney discuss Zoi Sadowski-Synnott getting a silver medal overnight at the Winter Olympics and the Black Caps chances in the T20 World Cup after making it through to the Super 8 round.
