Sam Ackerman looks at New Zealand's winning streak across winter sports this week, including the first ever skating medal of any form at the Youth Winter Olympics.

And discussion is heating up over who should coach rugby league team the Kiwis. Supercoach Wayne Bennett has openly said he wants the job - drawing an unusual response from NRL boss Peter V'Landys.

Sam also looks at new concussion rules being brought in at a grassroots level, with a minimum three-week stand-down period post-injury.
