Nick Stiles: Melbourne Rebels GM talks on-field success in 2024, financial future, & more

It's Only Sport podcast | The Platform - A podcast by The Platform

Nick Stiles - general manager of rugby at the Melbourne Rebels and former Wallabies prop - joins Martin Devlin on It's Only Sport. The Rebels are in serious financial strife and it appears a tall task for the franchise to remain operational past the current Super Rugby Pacific season. However, that hasn't affected their on-field performance, with the Rebels sitting fourth on the table halfway through the season with five wins from eight games including victories over the Highlanders and Fijian Drua. Stiles chats with Devlin about how they've managed to start the season so well and where that compares with preseason expectations, how they keep the off-field issues out of sight and out of mind, and more.
