Hosts Dallen Stanford & Robin MacDowell are joined by legend Karl Tenana for #RugbyHive Episode 20. Tenana was part of the famous All Black 7s side that won the first 5 Series titles on the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series. He captained New Zealand, winning the prestigious Rugby World Cup 7s in Hong Kong, 2001. In his 7s career, he scored a remarkable 113 tries, and was the leading try scorer in the 2000/2001 Series with 42 five pointers. Despite picking up an injury, Tenana won a Gold Medal at the 2002 Commonwealth Games. He played Super Rugby for the Otago Highlanders and rugby league for the Point Chevalier Pirates. Since retiring he has become one of the world’s best commentators, working at events such as Super Rugby, the Sevens World Series, and recently the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan. In today’s episode we talk about growing up in New Zealand, playing Super Rugby with many All Black legends, the 7s life under Sir Gordon Tietjens, the days of 20 minute 7s Cup finals, and how the Sevens Series has evolved over the past 2 decades. We chat about his commentating career, meeting David Hasselhoff, plus who he picks as his best ever 7s squad. We hope you enjoy and follow us on these platforms!
