One of the world’s greatest flankers made a brief comeback onto the Rugby field this weekend. Josh Kronfeld today doubled as a player/coach to support our University A’s as they battle with injury.  Josh was selected for the All Blacks in 1995 where he played 56 matches. Both John Leslie and Josh Kronfeld have played professional international rugby which make them a very high profile coaching duo in the Dunedin Metropolitan Club Rugby Competition. As these two past great rugby players gain experience together as coaches I believe the Otago Rugby Football Union will look at greater positions for them. 

Last night was a hugely successful night for the Otago University School of Business as it hosted a dinner at the University Staff Club for all past and present MBA graduates, lectures, as well as supportive local business people which make the MBA Business Study Case Reports possible. The speaker for the night was former TVNZ presenter Susan Wood who is also an Otago MBA graduate. Susan spoke about her high profile career as a television journalist and how tricky it has been to reinvent herself to pursue other career opportunities. It was great to speak to so many other people that have completed there degrees and to hear where their careers have been taking them. Many of whom traveled a long way to be there. Hats off to the organisers as this night was truly an exceptional event.
