Alex is joined by Jeremy Drake, club captain and starting hooker for one of the most unique rugby clubs in the world. Wakatipu sits just under the southern alps on New Zealand's South Island. Its squad is made up of locals and tourists, many of whom play whilst they're on holiday or working in the local ski resorts, and their numbers have included former All Blacks captain Justin Marshall and his international teammate and current Highlanders centre Michael Collins. Take a trip to the other side of the world to find out a little more about what makes Kiwi rugby so special in our latest House of Rugby Short.
