Chris Matthews is tvnz.co.nz's rugby reporter but he does flutter in other sporting genres when he sees fit.

He was awarded first place in sports journalism at the ASPA (Aotearoa Student Press Association) Awards in 2007.

Chris says his greatest achievement in life is coming third in the 2010 tvnz.co.nz Super 14 tipping competition, but conversely, says his biggest regret was being affiliated to the company in this particular situation, thus being ineligible for the prize.
