Why did you write the book called Concussed?

Well, I mean, Dodge, it was basically the culmination of about 20 years of work for me.

Um, I grew up, like you guys, playing rugby, loving rugby, watching rugby, living, breathing rugby.

Um, and all sports, really, but, um, I became a journalist, uh, after I got injured playing, um, and became a professional journalist in sort of around 2003, eight years after the game had turned professional.

And it became really clear to me really early that the severity of injuries that players were suffering and the frequency of injuries and the way that they were being managed was basically reckless.

Um, it was much more extreme than anything I'd witnessed growing up.

Um, and I could see the game changing radically, and through that process, um, there were evidently far more concussions happening.

Can you actually break down what is actually concussion?

How long does that trip take then

on the bus? Yeah, from Auckland to Napier, you are looking at probably a seven to eight hour trip to get there.

However, we take you right from the city centre in Auckland right through to the city centre in Napier and we have the meal breaks and rest stops along the way.

So once you factor all that in and compare that against waiting around at the airport, checking in, checking out, getting to and from the airport, it's actually not all that much different.

Do you reckon this is a kind of thing, like, is this a behaviour changing thing where it will last beyond the crisis or the minute that the petrol comes back to more manageable levels, we're back in our cars and on the planes?

Well, we certainly hope so.

We know that we've got a comfortable and convenient way to travel.

We've got Wi-Fi on board all of our services.
