In this edition of Sideline Chat, we check out Māori Touch NZ's tour of the Gold Coast, plus Wāhine (Women's) vice captain Mariana Winiana joins us On The 7 to chat all about it. There were plenty of National tournaments over the past month, and we take a look at who was crowned 2026 champions in Japan, France, Italy and Belgium. We cover the 14th edition of the all-female Élégance tournament in Paris, England's Junior Touch Cup, and the third round climax of the Mixed NTS. Plus, the Mile High Touch Open and Kulture Cup headline North America's month, and we head to Tanzania for the annual Dar Leopards Touch tournament!
