Podcast: Tarsh Ganley on her RWC experiences and how she’s heading to the PWR

04/12/2025 Ref Show 0

On the podcast this week, we’re joined by Rugby World Cup referee, Natarsha (Tarsh) Ganley from New Zealand. We chat about her rise from newbie to Rugby World Cup referee. We chat about her starting story, her new day job, her referee career to date, overcoming injury at a crucial point in the selection cycle, and her RWC experiences. We also talk about what’s next, including how she’s heading north for three months in 2026 to gain refereeing experience in England’s PWR competition.

Many referees will have been on exchange, and this is no different. And a great opportunity for her during the NZ off-season while spending more time across the UK. We wish her well!

Thanks Tarsh for being on the pod!
