Oli Mathis is one of the most talented young players in the country. The Hamilton Boys star produced some of the most iconic NZ Schools performances we’ve ever seen. Whether he’s been playing loose forward or on the wing, the 20-year-old has been unstoppable playing for Waikato, the All Blacks 7’s side & the NZ U20s.

In this episode, we chat about:

What it was like growing up in Waihi on the farm
Why he moved to Hamilton Boys and his time in the First XV
We talk about those incredible NZ Schools performances and what he felt set him apart as a schoolboy
Why he turned down the Crusaders Academy to stay in the Chiefs region
His experiences with Waikato, Chiefs wider squad, All Blacks 7s and NZ U20s
The frustration of missing the U20 World Cup Final through injury
Life as a hybrid forward/wing and where he sees his best position
Where he see’s his future in the game
And heaps more

As you’ll hear Oli is a passionate rugby man, he always has been! And then when he’s not on the field, he is up on the hills hunting in true kiwi style. This is an awesome insight into someone with a huge future ahead of him, a special talent and one of the great lads.
