‘Wouldn't put my kids in it': SBW apologises for promoting Run it Straight after New Zealand tragedy
Don't miss out on the headlines from Sport. Followed categories will be added to My News. Sonny Bill Williams has apologised for sharing a video promoting 'Run it Straight' just days after a teenager in New Zealand died while playing a similar game with friends. One of the modern game's hardest hitters, Williams played in the pre and post shoulder charge NRL era, and there are plenty of videos on social media of his most brutal tackles. One user found a clip from 2004 of Williams putting a big hit on Penrith's Joel Clinton. Williams shared the footage, to his 1.5 million followers with the caption: 'Playing run it straight before it was called run it straight…' The 39-year-old later apologised after being made aware of the tragedy that took place in New Zealand earlier in the week. Nineteen year old Ryan Satterthwaite died on Monday night after suffering a head injury while playing a private game of 'run it straight' with friends in Palmerston North. Satterthwaite's uncle said he was inspired to give the viral online craze a try after seeing clips of it on social media. 'I put a video up last night, and I just want to ask for forgiveness of the young fulla that passed away,' Williams said in a follow up Instagram story on Saturday. 'Please excuse me for my insensitivity. Kiwi teenager Ryan Satterthwaite passed away while playing a game of run it straight with friends. Picture: Supplied 'I did not know that had happened. 'I want to talk about it for a second right now. 'I've been asked to collab with the Run it Straight people, or a couple of people, and I haven't. 'Simply because I wouldn't put my kids in it. 'I have safety concerns, and that's just my thoughts on it.' 'Run it straight' has exploded in popularity over the last five months, with videos of big collisions going viral on social media. The new 'sport' has proved controversial though, with dozens of concussion experts, former players, mental health professionals and even Prime Minister of New Zealand condemning the controversial game. Williams was a bruising defender in his day. Picture:Although he has his reservations, Williams believes the trend will continue. 'I'd like weight classes and rules around head contact, but also age and experience classes as well,' he said. 'It's gonna carry on, because people love it. It's entertainment. 'But I'd like to see some heavily controlled safety restrictions come in. 'Once again to the family, my love and regards go out to you guys.' Run it Straight touts itself as the world's newest combat sport. It sees two competitors - one attacker with a rugby ball, and one defender - run directly at each other from opposite ends of a 20m 'battlefield.' The huge collisions have seen scary knockouts, concussions and, in one instance, left a man convulsing on the ground. Run it Straight has been widely criticised for the obvious concussion dangers, and several planned events in New Zealand have been cancelled.

Letters: What David Seymour could learn from brave 8-year-old; Run it straight ban a no-brainer
Hairdressers, (who may or may not be qualified), can now offer their clients coffee and dogs can enter a salon if the owner allows it. While David Seymour gives a 'buzz cut' to archaic regulations, the minister may want to have his department turn the shears on himself totally wasting taxpayers' money. I'm fairly certain the Child Cancer Foundation could have made better use of that money. Mary Hearn, Glendowie. Run it straight out of town I find it hard to believe the Government is going to 'seek advice' about the possibility of banning Run it Straight events. Duelling with swords and pistols has been banned for decades. This new contest of who has the thickest skull may not involve weapons, but as we've seen already the potential for a fatal outcome is, tragically, only too obvious. How many more combatants will have to die or be maimed for life before the 'advice' being sought comes to the conclusion this new brand of stupidity should be outlawed immediately? Jeremy Coleman, Hillpark. RMA changes at what cost? So the Government has traded off increasing pollution of our water and land for higher returns for farmers and easier property development. The proposed RMA changes loosen regulations and standards to promote more industrial farming, make mining and quarrying easier and reclassify wetland to allow more building development. This will mean more pollution of our water, land and air, no matter how you cut it. This will bring with it huge health and environmental costs, which we all pay. This may be a quick sugar rush for the short-term business cycle but it's bad for everyone and the planet in the long term. The vital concept of sustainability has been smothered by the siren song of unrelenting growth. We are going to pay a very high price for this short-term thinking. Jeff Hayward, Auckland Central. Regulatory Standards Bill demands scrutiny The Regulatory Standards Bill, put forward by David Seymour, is marketed as upholding democratic values, but it does not explicitly protect free speech and may in practice do the opposite. It threatens protest rights and freedom of expression. For months, people across Aotearoa, including in downtown Auckland, have gathered peacefully to call for an end to Israel's assault on Gaza and urge our Government to uphold international law. Under this bill, such protests could be deemed 'inconsistent' with vague principles, judged by a minister-appointed board. The bill also sidelines Te Tiriti o Waitangi. It lacks any requirement to honour Treaty principles or include Māori voices, a major constitutional failure. Steve Bannon, former Trump adviser, once spoke of 'flooding the zone with chaos' to overwhelm the public. This bill feels just like that: unnecessary, confusing and dangerous. We already have checks in place: the Bill of Rights Act, Regulatory Impact Statements, select committees, the courts and oversight bodies like the Ombudsman and Human Rights Commission. With the June 23 deadline approaching for submissions, now is a good time for anyone concerned about our democratic rights to look closely at what this bill could mean. Dana A. Patterson, Waiheke Island. On stopping crime early Re 'Police push crime message' (Herald, May 28): since most crime is fuelled by substance abuse, each arrest is an opportunity not just for accountability but also for intervention, rehabilitation and healing. Most citizens consistently report wanting this approach rather than contributing to mass incarceration. The 'Broken Windows' theory of policing, which began in 1982, suggests that not intervening at lower levels of crime will result in the escalation of crime and also supports taking all theft crime more seriously. New Zealand is known for its innovative approach towards crime reduction, beginning with juvenile offending. Giving free passes to minor crime is inconsistent with best practices. Eugene M. Hyman, Judge Superior Court of California (retired), California, USA. Political blame game The coalition Government has been in the House for half of an electoral cycle and yet continues to blame Labour, who coped with a massive pandemic and kept thousands of the population alive, and also a huge cyclone, for the lack of economic growth. They also continue to blame Covid for their lack of action to address vital basic needs. The best this Government can do to rectify this is chase 30,000+ of our brightest offshore, make massive job cuts, disrespect women and our indigenous people, reduce the income and housing for those who have remained, increasing homelessness and poverty. They have not addressed child poverty or the climate change issue but pander to the wealthy and lobbyists by making laws under urgency with little or no consultation. These MPs live in a fantasy world and are totally out of touch with the real world. Marie Kaire, Whangarei. Something in the soil According to an article published in the 1961 American Popular Mechanics' science overseas section, New Zealand made headlines by the discovery that the metal molybdenum ingested with foods grown rich in the metal prevents cavities in teeth. A New Zealand study showed residents of Napier have fewer cavities than those of nearby Hastings, although they have common milk and water supplies. The different factor in their diet is the crops grown for food. Napier grows its crops in a former lagoon that has higher amounts of molybdenum, titanium and aluminium than those used for crop-growing in nearby Hastings. Gary Hollis, Mellons Bay. NZ's voice on Gaza Firstly, I agree with John Minto (Herald, May 30) As usual he speaks from the heart and empathises with persecuted people wherever they are in the world. The United States, by supplying the weapons of war to Israel, is hugely complicit in the genocide of innocent women and children in Gaza. Our Foreign Minister's apparent willingness to go along with everything the Trump White House does actually makes us loosely complicit too. Our Government should have the fortitude to speak out whenever and wherever injustice is. Evidently, 147 of the 193 UN members recognise Palestine as a sovereign nation. It shocked me to learn New Zealand is one of the 47 countries that do not. To me this is shameful and needs to change. Surely this is the least we can do? Glen Stanton, Mairangi Bay. More female referees too It is not only 'NZF under fire for overlooking female coaches' (Herald, May 29), it is also female referees. When I watch the all-men NRL games every weekend, often the major referee is a woman. Here they are always men in both male and female games. Why not share the jobs of rugby coaches and referees so half of both tasks are done by women? Please do it in 2025 for fair equal rights and fair choice, as New Zealand women absolutely deserve to have this equal right now. Murray Hunter, Titirangi. Online gambling harm Auctioning 15 online gambling licences is going to be devastating for addicted gamblers and their families. Thousands of those caught in this cruel addiction will be financially ruined. The odds are heavily stacked in favour of the online casinos, run by remorseless multinational corporations. The gambler will inevitably lose everything they gamble. Now thanks to legal online gambling, this will be available all-hours in your own home. How cruelly short-sighted and expedient is this? So the Government can generate a few million dollars in taxes and licence sales, many thousands of people will be financially ruined. The health and social costs incurred alone will dwarf any gambling tax gain. Jeff Hayward, Auckland Central. Speak out about Gaza I completely agree with all the statements made in the letter from Keith and Jo Ballagh (Herald, May 29). Being a small country, all we have is our voice, which we have used very effectively in the past. For example, helping stop nuclear testing in the Pacific during the 1980s, despite the French Government's threats to damage our trade relationship. I urge our Government to recognise Palestine as a state and a full voting member of the UN. Ineffective hand-wringing and vague comments about joining with other countries etc do not help the starving, mutilated and dying people of Gaza and the West Bank. The time is now! Those who see an injustice and turn away or delay action become complicit in the actions of the perpetrator. We have our own voice and should use it in total condemnation of the Israeli genocide now. Silence is complicity. Ruth Coombes, Auckland. Tiny setback for school lunches The school lunch programme continues as an embarrassment and frustration for David Seymour, with a report that a larva was found in one school lunch recently. However, the school lunch programme delivers approximately 244,000 lunches to schools daily. This one lunch represents 0.0004% of all lunches. Although hygiene should be of paramount importance in any food programme, this is hardly evidence of gross mismanagement to the point of being overly concerned. Let's just call it added protein. I was given banana sandwiches as a kid that were brown and mushy by the time I got to eat them. I saw, I ate and I survived! Bernard Walker, Mount Maunganui. A quick word It's going to be a long 18 months as we watch David Seymour hog the headlines as Deputy Prime Minister. What an opportune time for Prime Minister Christopher Luxon to reassert his authority and call a snap election. Graham Fleetwood, Tauranga. The Holocaust: Nazis treated Jews like animals, confiscated their property, herded them into camps with unspeakable and unstoppable violence. Needing additional Zionist inhabitable space, Israel is tragically repeating its own history. Michael Howard, Mt Eden. There has been a lot written about the Equal Pay Amendment Bill 2025 but did I miss the publication of all the companies that don't pay women the same as men who are doing the same work? That is what is missing from all that has been written. Mike Wells, Kawerau. The problem with patients absconding from hospital ED units is not a crime. Patients are not prisoners and are free to make their own decisions no matter how wrong. Neville Cameron, Coromandel. When I returned to NZ after years abroad I was advised not to subscribe to the Herald as it was too right-wing. I have not found this to be the case. Your editorial (May 28) that Nicola Willis' Budget, like her $1100, dress highlights the growing gap between the haves and the have-nots confirms my view. You ask readers to consider supporting local foodbanks or social agencies. Please continue to highlight the huge gap in this country between those who can afford to fly business class and those who struggle to find a bus fare. Sarah Beck, Devonport. Imagine there's less Super, it's easy if you try, no Working for Families, it isn't hard to do, dreams Matthew Hooton (Herald, May 30) like a neoliberal John Lennon. Mike Wagg, Freemans Bay.

Teen Dies After Controversial Tackle Game
Press Release – Science Media Centre A teenager has died after suffering a head injury while playing a private 'run it straight-style' tackle game in Palmerston North. It follows on from official RUNIT events taking place in Auckland last week, with a quarter of participants in one event reportedly suffering concussions. The Science Media Centre asked experts to comment. Professor Louise Parr-Brownlie (Ngāti Maniapoto, Te Arawa), Neuroscientist in the Department of Anatomy, University of Otago, comments: 'All unnecessary deaths are tragic, and leave a trail of destruction for whānau and friends. Ngā mihi ki te whānau me ngā hoa o Ryan Satterthwaite. 'Tackle game appears to be the latest version of a gladiator sport – adrenaline-driven risk taking by the gladiators that provides entertainment for those watching. Consequently, there are significant prizes up for grabs for competitors in organised competitions. 'Be cautious! Injury occurs when two people collide running at significant speed. Impact forces damage body tissues. 'Head injuries will occur from direct impact when one person's head collides the other person's head, part of their body or the ground. However, injury will also occur when there is no external impact – through whiplash. Here, when the body stops suddenly, but the head and brain snaps forwards or backwards, the cerebrospinal fluid that normally suspends and cushions the brain cannot prevent it from hitting the skull. This impact within the head tears brain and supporting connective tissues. 'As a consequence, brain function will be altered due to swelling or damage. The brain is bruised and the person is concussed. If the damage or swelling is severe, the person may die unless there is an emergency medical intervention. 'Fans of tackle game competitions enjoy the strengthened sense of community at these events. Connecting, the sense of belonging and forming deep relationships are good for mental health. But there are many other ways to connect and improve mental health without increasing the risk of a brain injury or death for a friend or competitor.' No conflicts of interest. Dr Josh McGeown, Senior Research Fellow – Mātai Medical Research Institute, comments: 'This is an incredibly sad – but unfortunately foreseeable – loss of life. 'While 'Run it Straight' events may superficially appear to resemble rugby or league, they are fundamentally different. In rugby codes, a primary concern is the risk of concussion. Decades of research have focused on understanding the biomechanics, assessment, prevention and rehabilitation of these injuries to reduce the risks. Safeguards like modified rules, medical oversight, proper training, and safe technique are integral to making sport safer. 'The format of 'Run it Straight' disregards these advances in sports medicine by deliberately creating 'battlefield' conditions that maximise the intensity of each collision. From a brain injury perspective, this shifts concerns from risk of concussion – serious in itself – to high risk of catastrophic and immediately life-threatening brain trauma due to skull fractures or brain bleeds. These severe forms of injury are more commonly seen in high-speed crashes than in organised sport. 'The RUNIT League promotes itself as the 'world's fiercest collision sport… built to break limits.' They say it was 'born to go viral.' That's exactly the problem and reflects a broader issue: the role of media in amplifying high-risk behaviour. When these stunts trend online or feature in mainstream reporting, they become socially endorsed. Glorifying violent collisions as entertainment and rewarding domination creates a culture of imitation – especially among young men – with dire consequences. 'This is where the distinction between RUNIT and sports like rugby matters most. In sport, injury is a risk. In RUNIT, injury is the objective. These events are not a test of toughness or resilience. They are deliberately engineered to cause harm for the sake of views and virality.' Conflict of interest statement: 'I have received funding from the New Zealand Rugby Foundation.' Professor Patria Hume, Professor Human Performance, AUT, comments: 'Last week in media interviews I stated that 'It is very clear from the number of concussions from the small number of 'running at each other events' that have occurred, that this is going to result in death'. I also said it unfortunately takes a death to make people take notice and to stop these high injury risk activities. 'This was a back yard copycat of the RunIt events. Ryan's death was preventable. 'The 'King of the Streets' 'event' based on UFC is also a high-risk event. 'We need people to stop participating in activities where the intention is to hurt someone. 'Why is this not considered assault? 'When two 150 kg rugby players collide at full sprint, the impact force can exceed 24,000 Newtons—far greater than a car crash at 30 km/h. These are not just games; they are high-speed collisions with the potential to cause life-altering brain injuries and death. Our biomechanics calculations show that the human body is not built to absorb this level of force repeatedly without consequence. 'The force of an intentional collision between two sprinting players is nearly five times that of a professional boxer's punch and more than twice the force of falling from two meters. These numbers are not just statistics—they represent a serious risk of concussion, fractures, with the potential to cause life-altering brain injuries and death. We must treat these impacts with the same seriousness as we do car crashes.' No conflicts of interest. Professor Melanie Bussey, School of Physical Education, Sport and Exercise Sciences, University of Otago, comments: 'The 'Run it Straight' event involves players tackling one another head-on at full run-up speed, a format that raises serious safety concerns. Current research is in agreement that front-on, upright tackles carry a significantly higher risk of concussions and neck injury. Moreover, our recent instrumented mouthguard research confirms that these tackles result in significantly higher head acceleration outcomes, which increases the likelihood of serious brain trauma. Objectively, this style of contact is among the highest-risk in sport when it comes to head and neck injury. 'At a time when player associations and governing bodies, across various sporting codes, are working hard to improve player welfare and reduce preventable injuries, the introduction of such a high-risk event seems not only counterproductive but deeply concerning.' Conflict of interest statement: 'My research has been funded by World Rugby as well as the NZ rugby foundation, I have working relationships with Prevent Biometrics and New Zealand Rugby both through my own research work and the work of my students.'

Teenager dies after taking part in rugby-inspired ‘Run it Straight' craze
Ryan Satterthwaite, 19, has died as a result of his injuries - Instagram A teenager has died in New Zealand after taking part in a rugby-based craze that has been described as 'bull-rush on steroids'. Ryan Satterthwaite, who was 19 and from Palmerston North, suffered a serious head injury after being tackled during an impromptu version of the 'Run it Straight' challenge. Advertisement Satterthwaite, an employee of Mainfreight Transport, was taken to hospital by friends but died on Monday night. 'This young man's death is an absolute tragedy and my thoughts are with his family and friends,' said Ross Grantham, the area commander for Police Manawatu. 'The tackle game played by the group of friends was based on a social media-driven trend, where participants compete in full-contact collisions without protective gear. 'We would urge anyone thinking about taking part in a game or event like this to consider the significant safety and injury risks. While this is not a criminal matter, police will continue to undertake inquiries on behalf of the coroner.' Advertisement Recent weeks have seen a rise in the number of organised Run it Straight events in which competitors face off in high-octane, one-on-one tackle situations. The intensity and violence led to The New Zealand Herald describing them as 'bull-rush on steroids'. Perhaps the highest profile event is the RUNIT Championship League, which has given away 20,000 Australian dollars in prize money at various events in Australia and New Zealand. Players begin at either end of a 20-metre runway before charging towards one another, with the victor determined as the one who judges believe to have prevailed in the collision. Advertisement RUNIT staged an exhibition clash in Melbourne between Nemani Nadolo, the former Fiji and Leicester Tigers wing, and George Burgess, the ex-England rugby league international and brother of Sam. Videos have circulated of competitors appearing to be knocked out and there has been vehement criticism from medical professionals and researchers. Patria Hume, an injury prevention expert and sports scientist at Auckland University of Technology, lamented Satterthwaite's fatal accident as a 'preventable' milestone. 'It is very clear from the number of concussions from the small number of 'running-at-each-other events' that have occurred, that this is going to result in death,' she said. Advertisement 'Unfortunately it takes a death to make people take notice and to stop these high-injury-risk activities. 'Ryan's death was preventable. We need people to stop participating in activities where the intention is to hurt someone.' A spokesperson for RUNIT called Satterthwaite's death 'a tragic event'. 'Any contact sport like boxing, martial arts or combat-style activities should only be held in highly controlled environments, which include professional medical supervision and support,' they told The New Zealand Herald. 'All RUNIT events follow established protocols including screening of participants for suitability, strict guidelines around where and how to tackle [between the shoulders and hips only], with qualified medical support and medical assessments conducted both during and after competition. Advertisement 'We do not encourage any copying of the sport as it should only be done under the strict conditions outlined above in sanctioned RUNIT events.'
