NZ Sporting History: Dame Farah Palmer

From Afternoons, 2:25 pm on 21 September 2023

Today for NZ Sporting History we're going back to Amsterdam in 1998, where history was made by names like, Vanessa Cootes, Melodie Robinson, and of course Farah Palmer. The Black Ferns won their first Rugby World Cup, which kicked off their international rugby record - the best of any team in the world, male or female. Professor Dame Farah Palmer captained the team to victory in 1998. Dame Farah speaks to Jesse.
