For the first time the Hawkes Bay Rugby Union - home to the mighty Magpies - is being led by a woman President.
Mavis Mullins is already a bit of a legend in the community.
Among her long list of achievements - the Dannevirke local has over 20 years governance experience in both the private and public sectors, she's run a successful family farming and shearing business and is a member of the New Zealand Order of Merit.
Rugby also runs in her blood - her grandfather was All Black Lui Paewai.
One of her main priorities is to develop women's rugby in the Bay. Mavis talks to Jesse about her plans.
