Behind the Fern: All Blacks | Episode Three | A Promise Kept

In this episode of Behind the Fern: All Blacks, emotions run high as Caleb Clarke reflects just hours after being ruled out through injury. Scott Barrett and Ardie Savea show their support for the Black Ferns in their own unique way. But at the heart of the episode is the powerful story of Timoci Tavatavanawai — the newest All Black — as he opens up about the sacrifices he made and the promise he made to his late father: to one day wear the black jersey.
