Welcome to Issue #6 of Inside Sport Canterbury.
Rugby league seems to be grabbing a lot of traction currently - we look at how the Warriors' success and the recent Anderson report are affecting the sport in Canterbury. Senior club rugby kicks off this weekend and we speak to a coach with an outstanding record at this level.
Men's health is under the spotlight too with a feature on the importance of prostate checks. And our countdown to the SBS Christchurch Marathon continues in the fitness and training section.

Martin Mongan, Chief Executive
