All Blacks Legend Frano Botica: Truth About Buck Shelford & WILD Fight In Argentina

Frano Botica is one of the rare few to have represented New Zealand in both rugby union and rugby league — and he’s done it all: All Blacks, Kiwis, the Warriors, Wigan, and more.

In this open and funny chat, Frano reflects on the highs and lows of his remarkable dual-code career — from kicking match-winners at Eden Park to breaking his leg and losing a pro contract (the same weekend), to his love of Wigan despite calling it a “s***hole.”

Topics include:
– Switching from All Blacks to Kiwis
– Warriors debut season and career-ending injury
– The struggle after retirement and starting over
– Grandkids, legacy, and softening with age
– The jersey he refuses to give away (hint: it's black)

A true New Zealand sports legend!
