My Take
As a sevens devotee, I light up watching players like Kurt Baker. Born in Palmerston North, he ran fullback and wing for New Zealand's sevens side across an astonishing 233 World Rugby Sevens Series games and 53 tournaments between 2008 and 2022. Thirteen-plus years sprinting across that vast sevens field demands a kind of durability and game sense most athletes never reach; that's iron-man territory. What I find quietly admirable is that he didn't coast on legacy, moving stateside to Old Glory DC in Major League Rugby to keep putting his body on the line. A man carrying New Zealand's rugby spirit around the world earns my straightforward respect.
