Tom Christie is one of the toughest workhorses in New Zealand rugby.

In this episode the multiple Super Rugby champion opens up on leadership, injuries, and why he’s leaving the Crusaders to chase a new challenge with Newcastle’s Red Bulls.

From captaining the NZ U20s to battling setbacks and rediscovering his love for the game, this is Tom Christie like you’ve never heard him before.

In this episode we chat about...

How he learnt to tackle as a young fella

What it meant leading the NZ U20s side

Life at the Crusaders and what it takes to stay consistent

How his mindset has changed around topping the tackle count

The injury battles and how he rebuilt his confidence

His honest reflections on missing All Blacks selection

How he's handled non selection better than anyone I have worked with

Why he's decide to move to Newcastle and the next chapter of his journey

And heaps more.

As you'll hear, Tom is such a champion and has played a massive part of the Crusaders success during his time. He's one of the most self aware and articulate players I have coached. While players love playing with him cause they just know he will never let you down. He is a lad!
