Jamie Wall grew up in Wellington, New Zealand, and is now based in Auckland as a senior rugby writer for RNZ. He has been covering rugby, league and other sports for the last decade. Wall has been an active player of both codes for the last three decades. He says he knows what it's like to be at the bottom of a ruck and to get worked over by a guy twice his size after an ill-advised dart from dummy half. Career highlights include covering the All Blacks as a touring journalist since 2017; publishing four books, including the bestselling Brothers In Black; covering two All Black Rugby World Cups; becoming a radio and TV sports pundit; and getting to take the Ranfurly Shield home.
