## Resource

Neville Diggs, a Canterbury rugby legend for nearly 80 years, just earned life membership in the New Zealand Rugby League — a surprise honor he never expected. From playing as a kid in the late 40s after his dad’s passing, to managing the Canterbury team and Schoolboys Kiwis in the 90s, Diggs built a legacy off the field as much as on it. His 1993 title-winning team shocked the rugby world, and his player-first approach — even lending money and tracking it on his hand — made him a beloved figure. Now 86, he still lives for the game, proving that true dedication doesn’t fade with time. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
