D'Arcy Waldegrave: Few would revel in an All Blacks defeat tonight

Few people would revel in All Black defeat this evening – New Zealanders that is. Joe Schmidt, Mike Cron, and Tom Donnelly are three Kiwis that would. Two of those three are as good as the best in their trade. Two of those guys should really have their colours tied to All Black masts. Two of those fine men are living proof of the cumbersome nature of the NZR. The last few years has seen the most powerful brought to their knees, the collapse of an empire if you will, not unlike the implosion of the American dream under the iron —albeit tiny— fist of Trump. The clumsy approach of the union, particularly the maladroit power transition in the coach's box, has seen the best talent they've had access to flip the bird and set up shop in Australia. Schmidt, a reluctant international coach and great friend of Ian Foster, would rather reanimate the Wallabies than lend his talent to the Robertson-lead All Blacks. Mike Cron, the scrum coach guru, has shot the gap too, his ‘exit' interview with me on ZB was telling, his frustration over handling of the Foster/Robertson turmoil was palpable. He even swore on-air. Sheesh. With their trophy cabinet ransacked, their CEO exiting stage left and a mercurial AB side, a loss at the last bastion of All Black dominance would further erode the mystique of the jersey – if it hasn't dissipated already. Not freaked out by now, how you like these apples. In the Rugby Championship to date, the All Blacks lead the missed tackle count, lost the most turnovers, have scored the fewest points, the fewest clean breaks, meters made, and defenders beaten. I take no joy from these words, I've been a huge fan of Razor and quite possibly he may well be redeemed as the season unfolds, possibly a world cup in a couple of years, but it's difficult to watch what's unfolding and not feel the cold hand of creeping death choking the positivity out of you.

Thought For Today

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 13th of September, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to 1 Corinthians 9:27:”But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.” I want to say to you, my dear friend, today, and this applies to me equally, as believers and followers of Jesus Christ, we have to live disciplined lives. Undeserved loving kindness, unmerited favour, that's what grace is. We have been saved by grace through faith and that not of ourselves, for it was a gift from God. (Ephesians 2:8) but the Lord requires us to be good examples. Do not drop the ball, so to speak, by being a poor example to other believers and leading them astray.The other night, I was watching an interview on television for an upcoming international rugby match, a really important one between the All Blacks of New Zealand and the Springboks of South Africa. It was a very serious and intense discussion by rugby experts, and it was a panel of New Zealanders. The one interviewer asked one of the great All Black players, ”What is it that you think the team needs to concentrate on, when the Springboks come across to New Zealand because it's going to be a very critical match?” I was quite interested to hear what this man said. He said one word, ”Discipline.” He said,“We've got the players, the talent, but if we do not discipline ourselves we can lose the match.” Because when you get a yellow card, the player has to go off the field for ten minutes, and if you get two players off the field, you are now down from fifteen to thirteen players and the opposition has a distinct advantage and you can lose the match just by the lack of discipline.I want to say to you today as believers, we need to watch how we are living because we can give the opposition, I'm talking about the devil, a chance to get the upper hand in our lives. We need to get up in the morning. We need to eat correctly. We need to exercise. We need to spend time in the Word. We need to pray. This is Paul speaking when he says, ”I discipline my body and bring it into subjection.” It means it must come into submission, so that you become a good example of what a Christian should be like.Today, let's go out and discipline ourselves, and we will enjoy life a lot more as well.Jesus bless you and goodbye.

Former All Blacks wing Cory Jane has emphasised the importance of aerial kicking battles in international rugby and says the All Blacks must improve their technique under the high ball. It comes after the All Blacks and Springboks were pinged several times for shepherding on the back of contestable kicks, as the All Blacks extended their unbeaten Eden Park streak to 51 games last weekend. Speaking on Newstalk ZB's Weekend Sport with Jason Pine, Jane said with World Rugby cracking down on players shielding teammates catching high balls, “the importance of technique is back”. “I think there are too many guys jumping in the air and turning their bodies, turning their hips. And most teams that are chasing are just jumping to try to whack the ball back, they're actually not trying to catch the ball. “So, you have to be better with your technique and by that I mean being square into the collision. You're allowed to protect yourself with your knee jumping up and being nice and square, and guys should be able to back themselves to catch the ball.” The 53-test All Black said better technique would also lead to safer collisions. “If you turn your body and your knees a little bit sideways and you get hit you could fall on the back of your head, you can flip over the guy, so it's also a little bit of safety for the catcher to get back to a better technique.” Cory Jane says with World Rugby cracking down on players shielding teammates catching high balls, “the importance of technique is back”. Photo / Photosport Asked how tempting it is to look at defenders rushing at you while you're waiting to catch a high-ball, Jane said “you know that they're coming and you can feel them coming when you're watching the ball”. “You should do your homework. I know when I played a long, long time ago, you knew which wingers were chasing and how they like to attack the ball.” Jane said teams are also using a box kick as a weapon now, seeing it as an opportunity to put their opposition under pressure. “If you're playing with the ball and you're going eight, 10, 15 phases and you're not making any inroads into the defence, you can put yourself under pressure. So you see it at international level ... the box kicking or the kicking can take a little bit of pressure off your attack, can put pressure back on to the catching team and then you can put them under pressure with your defence.” He thought the All Blacks would opt for more running rugby in Wellington on Saturday night after being engaged in a kick-heavy affair in Auckland last weekend. “I don't think they'll want to continue to go into box kicks and play, I guess, the way that South Africa have played the game, but it's a great way to not put yourself under pressure.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

D'Arcy Waldegrave: The fly in the ointment of the rugby broadcast deal

Is the devil in the detail? Yesterday NZR proudly released the news that they have finally got their long-negotiated broadcast deal with Sky TV across the line. On the face of it, the deal looks good for all concerned. The All Blacks, Super Rugby, and the Black Ferns are all tied up for five years, driving subscription numbers for the pay TV behemoth. Those products are what Sky, and realistically the subscribers, really desire. The free-to-air deal provides those unwilling or unable to pay for satellite TV a taste of domestic rugby through the exploits of the teams in the NPC, with some Farah Palmer Cup and Heartland Championship games thrown in. The vehicle for this is TVNZ, which in lieu of Sky TV's recent purchase of the Three network, appears out of alignment with the pay TV monster's trajectory. The Three deal not only arrived too late for consideration (I presume), and in eyeball terms, TVNZ has a greater reach, with a larger and less complex method for New Zealanders who aren't tech savvy or have no interest in multiple platforms. The ointment fly is the additional All Black matches that fall outside of the World Rugby test requirements. As yet unscheduled but more than likely to occur, these ‘extra' matches involve the revenue generating fixtures such as the American-based games. This is where more ‘fat' for NZR lives. These matches will likely be sold off to the highest bidder, think DAZN or Netflix, so if we want to watch, we'll be paying. Again. I will. I have to. I want to. But is this the thin end of the future pay wedge for AB fans? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome back to a new episode of the Pick and Go podcast. After the first test against France there were mixed feelings going into the second. Were the All Blacks rusty, or were the French way better than we gave them credit for? Was there cause for concern? Well, it seems the Real Razor All Blacks have arrived and they arrived in style. Not only was the win in the second test against France comprehensive, the ABs played with a style and flair that we've come to expect from the ABs coach. Is this a signal that NZ rugby is evolving? After last week's revelations about call ups and presents, Piri Weepu once again takes us behind the current of life as an All Black.

Mike's Minute: Why do we get exercised about helicopters?

Helicopters are such an Auckland issue. I love helicopters. I have flown in a lot of helicopters. Our place is on a flight path north. People who go to the Bay of Islands and to the flash golf courses north of Auckland fly over our place. On a sunny Saturday they start 6.30am-ish in summer. On a still day you hear them coming maybe 30 seconds before you might see them. Because I like them, I have never understood the Waiheke moaners who can't stand them and want them banned on their island. To me a helicopter is full of people going places, i.e. tourists and golfers. These are people we like and want. If you haven't followed the story, Ali Williams, once an All Black, and Anna Mowbray, part of the Zuru clan, are a couple and they have a house in Westmere, which is an inner-city suburb in Auckland. They applied to land their chopper at their place. Cue the horror. Far too much money and time has been spent on this – over 1400 submissions. That's right, 1400. And what was mad about it was a number of submissions submitted that they had no view. You can't make this up. The number of people who are clearly bored out of their minds is unreal. Many a submission against their use of a chopper in suburbia came from people who don't even live in Auckland. Not only were they not close to the landing pad, but they're not even in the same city, i.e. it's got nothing to do with you. Lawyers, council staff, submissions, hearings, and Lord knows how many hours and dollars and, as you will have heard, Williams and Mowbray win. They can land at their place two times a day for no more than 10 times a month. There is nothing, said the Commissioners, untoward, unacceptable, or significantly out of character with helicopter noise, which I think is fair enough. But two questions; 1) How many got exercised out of petty jealousy, i.e. rich folks doing stuff we don't like? 2) How unpopular does it make them? And do they care? There is of course the precedent now. Suburbia and choppers are no big deal. Very Auckland. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
