Clash of the codes for the fourth season of Match Fit

From Nine To Noon, 11:26 am today

Union and league are putting their differences aside in the latest season of a TV show which sees ex professional rugby players get back in the game.

Match Fit is returning to TV Three for a fourth season - getting both codes together after previously focusing on one per season.

The show is less of a sports show, and more of a men's health show, highlighting the power of friendship, opening up, and physical exercise in managing mental stress and distress.

As the players get their fitness and skills back up to speed, mental and physical health are also discussed, providing an earnest look into the personal lives of some of the country's biggest sporting heroes.

Ex All Black Piri Weepu, is back on the show for a third time, league player Clinton Toopi crossed the Tasman for his second season, and former All Black coach Sir Graham Henry is back for his third season of Match Fit.

Kathryn speaks to the three of them.
