Wallabies winger missing game due to debt owed by club

Checkpoint - A podcast by RNZ - Mondays

The Melbourne Rebels' cash woes are spilling out from the boardroom to the rugby field. Wallabies winger Filipo Daugunu will miss Friday's Super Rugby clash against the Hurricanes over a $7,500 debt owed to him by the club. The Fijian-born speedster also sat out his side's loss to the Reds last week in an apparent stand-off over the unpaid debt. It comes after the Rebels were placed in voluntary administration in January, with debts exceeding $22,500,000. Sports correspondent Dana Johannsen speaks to Lisa Owen
