We have a slight selection problem at the SPCA. Her name is Springbokkie. But she has turned up wearing an All Black jersey. Completely black. Not a stitch of green and gold anywhere. Frankly, in South African rugby, this could get awkward. Springbokkie is a small little dog, under knee height and weighing only about nine kilos. But as Cheslin Kolbe has demonstrated rather convincingly, size has nothing to do with heart. This little Springbok has plenty of pace, plenty of bounce and a sidestep . She is active, affectionate and has the sweetest nature. And Springbokkie has already had quite a season. She has been a fantastic mom to her two little pups, getting them safely through the opening rounds. Now the youngsters are sorted, and Mom is finally ready for a transfer of her own. Preferably to the starting line up of a loving family. She loves affection and is quite happy to leap straight into your arms for a gentle cuddle. So despite the All Black look, we can confirm she is definitely playing for the home side. And she's ready to play the most important position of her career - preferable centre of your heart. Go and meet Springbokkie at the Cape of Good Hope SPCA on the corner of First Avenue and First Road in Grassy Park. Call 021 700 4152, email adoptions@spca-ct.co.za or apply online at capespca.co.za and look for Springbokkie under Adoptable Pets. Every animal adopted from the Cape of Good Hope SPCA is healthy, vaccinated, microchipped, temperament assessed and sterilised. You will also get great service from people who really care and who will help you find a pet who will fit into your family perfectly. https://capespca.co.za/adoptee/dogs/springbokkie/ Views and News with Clarence Ford is the mid-morning show on CapeTalk.

No. 11 Jonah Lomu - was the youngest to ever wear the black jersey when he took to the field as an All Black at the Rugby World Cup in 1995. There's a documentary out now 'Lomu' by directors Vea Mafile'o and Gavin Fitzgerald premiered at the New Zealand International Film Festival after a massive outdoor screening in Tonga. And now there's a stunning children's book 'Giant Heart - How Jonah Lomu Became a Rugby Legend. David Hill & Nadene Lomu chatted to Susanna.

After a “whirlwind” last few days, All Blacks veteran Jordie Barrett says the side are back in test mode as they prepare to bookend Rugby's Greatest Rivalry series with a victory in Baltimore on Sunday. Both sides are coming off a 20-hour flight from Johannesburg to Washington following Sunday's third test, which shortens the preparation window for the final clash of the series in the US. “It's still a test match against the Boks for the All Blacks, but it's certainly been a whirlwind 48 hours. We poured a whole lot of mental and physical energy into the test in Soweto, come off second best and four hours later we're sitting across an aisle on a chartered flight with the Boks straight to Baltimore,” Barrett told Mike Hosking Breakfast on Newstalk ZB. “We're firmly on the ground now, we had a good training session this morning and test week is well underway.” The All Blacks have lost captain Ardie Savea, stand-in captain Luke Jacobson and Barrett's backline partner Quinn Tupaea for the fourth test after all suffered injuries in Soweto, adding to the injury toll for the tour. The Springboks have meanwhile made just two backline changes from the side that won the third test. Coach Dave Rennie will name his All Blacks squad tomorrow with Barrett in the running as captain, with the likes of Codie Taylor and Patrick Tuipulotu. Asked if he had spent any time considering whether or not the Baltimore test doesn't count to the series because it was being played outside South Africa, Barrett said he believed that a drawn series is still alive. “Certainly not. Like this Greatest Rivalry [series] was always a four-game series. There was a lot been talk about trying to win a test series in South Africa and that's what we wanted to do ... this rivalry series is a four-game series and we've got an opportunity to go two-all against a team who's been well established back-to-back world champions. We've only been together for a little while and we've got a chance to go two-all against them and that's the opportunity that excites us for this weekend.” Barrett, who has started every test for the All Blacks under Rennie, said the side were heading in the right direction under the new coach. “We've learned a lot about ourselves in the past month and you do learn a lot about yourself against the best team in the world and on the road. I'm confident we're heading in the right direction, that's where we want to go and if we want to go to that place we're probably going to end up playing the South Africans in a quarter-final in a Rugby World Cup. “We are not overly pleased to be down 2-1 in the series, but look, we haven't lost all hope in this group and there's a lot of positives to come out of our last three games against the Boks. We're not far away. “What was it 33-16 in that first test at Ellis Park and we felt like South Africa probably had the wood over us for about 55 minutes. Couple of moments they get a yellow card and we win by two or three tries and we walk away from that test match all happy and we probably felt like we played better in game two and lost by seven points. And that's just the way test matches are working at the moment and unfortunately we were on the wrong side of it again in game three but there's an opportunity for us to level the series two-all this week in the States. So it's a completely different kettle of fish.” Barrett added that the South Africa leg was “the most memorable and enjoyable tests you'll play as an All Black”. “I think just the country in general and their history and the relationship with the All Blacks and there's certainly a great rivalry also between the two countries and enough flying at the moment in terms of their rugby. They're back-to-back world champions. They're a country that probably haven't been as united in the past but it seems like rugby is bringing everyone together at the moment and they're certainly riding a high. It's tough playing in their conditions but it's also the most memorable and enjoyable tests you'll play as an All Black as well. “As hard as the last three weeks have been for me, I've absolutely loved it.” Cameron McMillan has been a sports journalist since 2003 and is NZME's Deputy Head of Sport.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Following the recent defeat to South Africa in Soweto, the All Blacks are unable to win the Rugby's Greatest Rivalry tour as the South Africans have a 2-1 lead. However, there is one final test match set to be staged in Baltimore to give the All Blacks a chance to draw the series and head back to New Zealand with half a trophy. Ant Strachan is a former All Black, he joined D'Arcy to discuss. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Boks finally break their Soweto duck against the All Blacks and take a 2–1 series lead, but there's still almost nothing separating these two sides. We unpack the second-half shift that won it, the moments that nearly swung it the other way, and the one All Black the Boks still can't seem to stop.

Hundreds of family videos and years of research have gone into an intimate new documentary about rugby legend Jonah Lomu. The film draws on archive footage to tell the story of the All Black, who died 11 years ago aged 40. It follows Lomu from his time at Wesley College through his rise to the All Blacks, and the pressures that came with being in the limelight. Co-director Vea Mafile'o says the film captures the quiet moments the public never got to see. "He went through a lot...and he did get a hard time from multiple different places, and so it felt really important to just put a little more context so people could have a better understanding of his life and upbringing."

Israel Dagg had everything he'd ever chased - a Rugby World Cup, a young family, the life a kid from a Hawke's Bay state house could only dream of. Then he retired, and the question underneath it all hit at once: “if I'm not an All Black, who am I?”In one of the most open conversations we've had on the show, Israel comes clean on the five years that followed - the addiction, the depression, and the spiral he kept hidden while the world saw a highlight reel.After his mum passed away he hit rock bottom: he left his family, moved to Auckland, and spent a Father's Day alone in an apartment wondering how it got so bad. He's honest about what it cost the people who loved him, and clear that no one could have pulled him out but himself.This is the story of how he did it - how ownership became the first step back, why nearly three years sober is the best decision he's ever made, and how he came to see that the happiness he'd been chasing had been in front of him the whole time.Between Two Beers is proudly brought to you by One New Zealand.

Week two of the Nations Championship delivered some incredible rugby, some average rugby, a few near-upsets, several glorious “could-have-beens,” and more than a handful of “why now?” and “why on earth are they playing there?” moments.The All Blacks kicked things off against Italy in a match we were desperately hoping would be the moment Dave Rennie's new team finally clicked. That may be a little demanding in only week two, but they certainly didn't click during a fairly shambolic opening 40 minutes.Things improved dramatically for about 15 minutes in the second half, when New Zealand suddenly piled on the points and eventually cruised to a 30-point victory. Will Jordan scored his 50th Test try, reaching the mark faster than any All Black before him, while Anton Segner made his long-awaited debut and Moby provided a tidy little cameo off the bench in his first Test as well.Australia then produced a genuinely excellent first half against France, followed by an absolute dog-shit second half against France. What began as a hugely encouraging performance became another deeply deflating evening for Wallabies supporters around the world.Ireland faced Japan in that famous fortress of Japanese rugby: Newcastle, Australia.Why Newcastle, Australia, you may ask? Excellent question. Apparently Ireland didn't fancy travelling to Japan, pushed their weight around and got their way. Japan made the match considerably tighter than expected, but Ireland eventually showed their class and pulled away.England absolutely pumped Fiji, while the game of the round may have come in South Africa, where Scotland the Brave were once again incredibly brave.The Springboks may not have fielded their absolute strongest side, but they were still expected to dominate. Instead, Scotland pushed them far closer than the final score suggests. With a little more clinical finishing, a bit more composure near the line and perhaps slightly more defence, this genuinely could have been the day Scotland finally won in the Republic.Sadly, it wasn't to be.This week's beers were kindly supplied by the great Andrew Stark from Tempo Rehab.

The R&B icon, dance king and B2K frontman returns to We Sound Crazy for one of the most joyful, grown and reflective conversations of the season. Sitting with hosts Phillionaire, Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony of Louis York, and Tamone Bacon, Omarion comes in talking about his brand new album O2, a deliberate sequel and 20-year answer to his 2005 solo debut O. He walks the crew through the singles The One (built off a Pharrell Williams sample) and Fantasy (a love letter to the divine feminine), the new generation of writers he chose to work with, and why he is more intentional than ever about energy, mental health and the people he lets into the studio. The conversation also goes deep on the spiritual layer he is building under his music, including sound baths, meditation and the philosophy behind his book The Power of Choosing Joy. The episode runs back two full decades of his career too. Omarion revisits his first ever booked job (the moment he decided not to take his braids out for the audition), the You Got Served era that crowned him King of Dance, the B2K mini-movie videos inspired by Michael Jackson, and the legendary Underdogs era at the same studio that birthed the song Oh when Tank walked down the hallway and told him he needed it. He gets emotional about the B2K reunion and the Millennium Tour, breaking down the atonement and forgiveness behind the group's comeback, the family man versions of his brothers Boog, Raz, and Fizz, and how stepping back on stage together helped them heal childhood traumas in real time. He talks the mentors he calls and the ones he wishes he could (Pharrell, Rick Rubin, Jay Z, Kevin Liles), his partnership with Janine McLean, his action drama series Wild Rose on All Black, and his commitment to becoming what he calls a soul school for the next generation. Press play and let Omarion take you to soul school. We Sound Crazy is your backstage pass to all things music and culture. Special thanks to our We Sound Crazy team!

The Nations Championship is finally here, and with a brand-new tournament comes one very important question: what actually counts as success? Ant and Phil kick things off by looking at South Africa's campaign. Is three wins the minimum expectation for the Springboks? Which combinations still need answers before the business end of the season? And with Rassie continuing to build depth across the squad, just how much experimentation is too much when silverware is on the line? The boys then work their way around the rest of the tournament, setting realistic expectations for every side. England's lofty ambitions come under scrutiny, France head to New Zealand with a genuine chance of causing problems, there's plenty of sympathy for Fiji, who once again won't get the opportunity to play their home fixtures on home soil, and can the Wallabies take a big scalp from Ireland or France. Attention then turns across the Tasman, where Dave Rennie has some fascinating selection calls to make for his All Blacks side. Should the Hurricanes provide the backbone of the team? Is Ruben Love ready for the biggest stage? And after one particularly spicy internet take, the panel spends far longer than expected debating whether Will Jordan might just be the most overrated All Black of the modern era. Plus predictions for the opening weekend, discussion around the changing balance of power in world rugby, and why this year's Nations Championship could tell us a lot about where every major nation really stands.
