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.

We catch up with a former All Black to get his thoughts on this weekend’s second test against France in Wellington.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The All Blacks take on France in the second test in Wellington tomorrow night - and the city is buzzing ahead of the game. The The 28th Cello Champions Charity Luncheon was held on Friday ahead of the event, with a stellar line up of former All Blacks including Frank Bunce and Josh Kronfeld. Frank Bunce played 69 All Black games - including 55 tests - between 1992 and 1997, while Josh Kronfeld played 56 All Blacks games - including 54 tests - between 1995 and 2000. The pair joined Nick Mills to share their memories of the infamous 1995 Rugby World Cup, as well as their predictions ahead of the All Blacks' second test against the French tomorrow night.

The All Blacks became the first team to notch up 500 test-match wins when they scraped to a 31-27 win against France at Dunedin's Forsyth Barr Stadium at the weekend. Sky commentator Tony Johnson and former All Black captain Taine Randell spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

One former All Black applauded the team's performance against France - as the side walked away with a narrow 31-27 win.

As the All Blacks took to the field at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin last night to stagger over the line against the French, I thought about the calls I had on Marcus Lush Nights on Friday, talking about the future of our large stadiums - and in particular of Forsyth Barr Stadium and Wellington's Sky Stadium. It doesn't seem to matter which city you're in across the country, stadiums are problematic. Auckland continues its decade-old debate about whether we need a new multipurpose waterfront stadium and now, what to do with Western Springs. Christchurch rate payers are unhappy about the cost blowouts for their new stadium, Te Kaha - although when it opens I reckon they'll be won over and pretty happy. Wellington has a stadium that's not well designed for rectangle sports - rugby or football - suffers for the city's inclement weather and rarely looks full. Te Kaha has them all spooked. As fans took their seat at Forsyth Barr last night they may have wondered how likely, after Christchurch's shiny new stadium opens next year, they will be to see concerts from artists such as Pink and Ed Sheeran, or All Black tests, in their city again. And they are right to be worried. There is only so much sport to go around, and with more global acts skipping New Zealand, competition is only going to get tougher. We tend to think of large outdoors stadium as a must for a city of a certain size - a required piece of civic infrastructure like a library, theatre or art gallery - but perhaps we're more ambitious than we need to be. Does the South Island really need two covered stadiums? Perhaps not. But if you live in Christchurch you're thinking about Christchurch, not contemplating what it means for the stadium down the road. Forsyth Barr was conceived before the Christchurch Earthquake, opening in time for the 2011 Rugby World Cup. So Forsyth Barr always expected to compete with Christchurch, and obviously there was confidence it could. You could say Dunedin has had an unexpected advantage over the last 14 years. But now with competing stadiums, it's on the council and stadium management to step up and find a way to ensure the stadium remains an asset for the city and not a white elephant. The saying ‘built it and people will come' doesn't apply to stadiums. You need to convince people to choose your stadium and your city to perform in, and then convince the locals to attend. Everyone has a role in making stadiums work. Look at Eden Park. The recent change to allow up to 12 concerts a year to be held there has seen a surge in fondness for the place - even if it's mind-blowing how long it's taken to happen. The benefit are obvious on show weekends. Last night looked like a great night in Dunedin. The crowd in full voice, clearly enjoying the entertainment - both the stadium and the All Blacks got the job done. Gee, I hope it lasts. It's going to be really difficult, but hopefully Dunedin will find a way to make sure Forsyth Barr remains a source of pride. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Scott Robertson has named an intriguing side to take on France under the roof at Forsyth Barr Stadium. One day out from the first All Black test of the season and one debutant cutting his teeth this weekend has revealed a surprising skill. Sports reporter Jamie Wall spoke to Lisa Owen.

Scott Robertson has named his first All Blacks 23 of the year, to face France at Dunedin's Forsyth Barr Stadium on Saturday night. France have won their past three tests against the All Black - but could that winning streak end this weekend as Robertson's men face a French side missing some of their stars?

Billionaire entrepreneur Anna Mowbray and her former-All Black husband Ali Williams, have been given permission to build a helipad at their 24 million dollar luxury Auckland waterfront home. Elena Keith from Quiet Sky Waitemata opposed the application, she spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

In today's episode, the Government announces it will introduce new penalties for those who hurl coward punches, to reflect the gravity of their crime. The weight-loss injection Wegovy, that has the same active ingredient as Ozempic, hits shelves in New Zealand. The Auditor-General reprimands the Defence Force for accepting gifts and hospitality from commercial suppliers. Billionaire entrepreneur Anna Mowbray and her former-All Black husband Ali Williams, have been given permission to build a helipad at their 24 million dollar luxury Auckland waterfront home. And New Zealand golfer Ryan Fox is lending his support to the campaign to save the Takapuna Golf Course on Auckland's North Shore.

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.

There's no busier jockey in northern NSW than Wauchope based Luke Rolls. The expat Kiwi drives huge mileage to honour commitments at northern rivers and tablelands tracks. Born and reared in Fielding on New Zealand's North Island, Luke was initially apprenticed to Bruce Marsh at Foxton. He transferred to a Victorian stable in the early 2000's and his subsequent journey has produced an impressive tally of more than 760 winners. Luke begins our chat by talking about his move to the NSW mid north coast with Cassie Schmidt, the lady destined to become his wife. He says hard work was the only way to go in the first few years. The jockey takes us through a normal day in his life. Few jockeys ride more trackwork than Luke Rolls. Luke says he has to keep an eye on the clock when he has commitments at a faraway meeting. The constant travelling is the toughest part of his job. He acknowledges the ongoing support of a special group of northern trainers. Luke takes us back to early days on the farm at Fielding NZ. Horse racing wasn't on his radar. He admits he was more intent on becoming an All Black than a professional jockey. Luke looks back on his initial apprenticeship to top trainer Bruce Marsh. He'd never been on a horse. He looks back on his first race ride. He finished second but says the horse should have won. Luke hasn't forgotten his first winning ride. It turned out to be his one and only NZ winner. He talks of a transfer to a Victorian stable when Bruce Marsh landed a contract to train in Singapore. The jockey remembers a happy 18 months with Terry O'Sullivan at Stawell and the handful of winners he rode on country tracks. Luke admits he suddenly lost interest in racing after the Victorian stint. He went to Sydney with mates and landed a job as a welder. He looks back on a return to NZ and a job with Affco Abbatoirs. That job generated an opportunity to work in rural Queensland which didn't work out. Next step was another meatworks job on the Gold Coast. Finally the lure of the thoroughbred prompted him to give riding another crack. A newspaper advertisement led him to a job with a Gold Coast trainer. Luke was thrilled to win a race at Ballina soon after returning to race riding. He talks of a tremendous winning run on the Gold Coast which yielded a local apprentices premiership. Luke remembers a growing interest in his services from Brisbane stables. He's never forgotten his first trip to the metropolitan winner's circle. In fact it happened twice on the day. He talks of the jockey who became a formidable rival on the Gold Coast and of the day he rode the first four winners on the programme. Luke looks back on his only ride in a Gr 1 race. He was flown to Sydney by Queensland owners to handle a lightweight in The Galaxy of 2009. For one thrilling moment at the 200m he thought the race was in his keeping. He talks of an Eagle Farm win on a horse destined to win a Gr 1 down the track. Luke acknowledges the successful riding career of wife Cassie despite a torturous battle with weight. When she opted to relocate from the Gold Coast to her native Wauchope he elected to go with her. Cassie's “dream job” came along soon after. He says nobody was surprised when Cassie decided on a training career. Her first win came not long after gaining her licence and Luke Rolls was the jockey. Luke talks of his marriage to Cassie and the successful trainer/jockey combination they've developed. It's a nice chat with a Kiwi born jockey who preferred motor bikes to horses in his early days at Fielding.
