About Me

Hi! I'm Jamie. I grew up in Wellington, New Zealand and now am based in Auckland as a rugby writer. I put this site together to get all my work in one handy place.

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. So I know what it's like to be at the bottom of a ruck, have to throw into a lineout 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.

Some of my 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

• Becoming a TV sports pundit

• Getting to take the Ranfurly Shield home (pictured left)

So if you need an insight into rugby in this part of the world, whether it's a column, opinion, post match footage or audio, I'm your man.
