The home schedule ahead of the 2027 Rugby World Cup is still largely unknown, but Dave Rennie has let one detail slip. The All Blacks coach was on the Mike Hosking Breakfast this morning, and he revealed two tests against the Springboks will take place in Auckland and Christchurch next year. NZ Rugby chairman David Kirk says Rennie has earned his right to be coaching New Zealand's top team. "He's worked his way up, he's done a fantastic job in club rugby in Wellington, and then with Manawatu and then the Chiefs, and then Australia and then around the world... he's really earned his right to be the head coach."

Did South Africa find a loophole in rugby's HIA rules — or did something go badly wrong with the replacement process? The Springboks' chaotic finish against the Wallabies raised bigger questions about how concussion replacements are supposed to work and who controls the process. Ross Karl, James Parsons and Bryn Hall also break down what Australia did so well for most of the test, plus four yellow cards, referees on phones, and one of the strangest ends to a test in recent memory.Warning: Audio quality is varied because of online recording.(00:00) Boks Watch: Wallabies v Springboks(00:49) How strong was this Springboks team?(02:43) What really happened at scrum time(05:50) Taniela Tupou causes the Boks problems(08:22) How scrum angles actually work(11:29) Australia's front-row weapons(13:39) The Springbok back who caught our eye(15:59) What Australia did differently to the All Blacks(17:37) How the Wallabies attacked the breakdown(19:09) Why Australia kept things simple(20:31) Are the Wallabies building real belief?(21:50) Four yellow cards and complete chaos(23:25) Did the officials lose control?(24:12) The referee phone call explained(26:11) The Boks' HIA replacement controversy(27:12) Can the HIA system be manipulated?(29:13) Why this could become a much bigger problemCatch all our content across @aotearoarugbypodofficial channels Hosted on Acast.

Fresh off an unforgettable trip to Baltimore — and battling a bit of post-travel sickness — I'm recapping a genuine rugby bucket-list experience: the All Blacks and Springboks in the United States, historic attendance at MT&T Bank Stadium, incredible access to the teams, and what an event of that scale can mean for rugby's growth in America.Then we get into a massive week across New Zealand rugby. I break down NZ Rugby's reported $66 million financial challenge, why the NPC and Ranfurly Shield remain vital to the game's future, and why it matters that players including Beauden Barrett, Noah Hotham, Cortez Ratima, George Bell, Emoni Narawa and others are returning to represent their provinces.I also unpack the Black Ferns' heartbreaking Red Roses defeat, Counties Manukau's emotional Ranfurly Shield win, Northland's incredible Shield journey, and the attacking ambition of Auckland's Rico Simpson.In the second half, it is all about one of the wildest Tests of the year: the Wallabies' 42–38 win over the Springboks. Australia held on with just 11 men, lifted the Mandela Challenge Plate, and delivered a major statement against the reigning world champions.Plus, I reflect on making my play-by-play commentary debut for UCLA Rugby's last-minute win over Michigan, and look ahead to UCLA's upcoming home fixtures against Brown and Southern Nazarene.In this episode:Baltimore recap: All Blacks, Springboks and a record U.S. rugby crowdWhat NZ Rugby's financial challenge means for the gameWhy All Blacks returning to the NPC mattersBlack Ferns v Red Roses reactionCounties Manukau win the Ranfurly ShieldWallabies survive with 11 men against South AfricaUCLA Rugby commentary debut and upcoming matches

Gilbert Enoka is back with the All Blacks. After 23 years and 304 tests as their mental skills coach - two World Cup wins along the way - he stepped away in 2023, worked with Chelsea and England cricket, and has now returned to the team as leadership and mental performance coach ahead of the 2027 World Cup.This is a big one, recorded during his time away. The first half is the man: a childhood in an orphanage from 18 months to 12, learning to work and fight, and how being "emotionally malnourished" turned into the skill that made him indispensable - reading a room before anyone said a word.The second half is the craft: the no-dickheads policy, standards over values, the "human library" of legends built for 2023, how close the All Blacks came to walking away from the haka, and the Gilbertisms - winge up not down, don't take the sausage, wishbone-backbone-funny-bone - he's spent a career distilling.His book Become Unstoppable is out now.Between Two Beers is proudly brought to you by One New Zealand.

All Blacks legend Sir John Kirwan is hitting the road with the Bledisloe Cup, but he's also calling for serious changes to be made to the domestic rugby competition. He's pitched an eight-team, trans-Tasman competition that would include some Australian clubs as well - a similar model to the NRL. He says the domestic competition is 'struggling' and we need to get back to 'tribalism and traditionalism' over franchises.

In another deeply upsetting week, the All Blacks blew their chance to square the Greatest Rivalry Series at 2–2 and were instead wholly and completely beaten by the Springboks, who deservedly wrapped things up 3–1.Much to our disappointment and dismay, the right team won.Despite what some might call a few 50–50 calls. Were they really 50–50 calls, though? Or is Tony just a bit sour? Who knows, really.Anyway, we go deep on the final Test, assess where both squads are at, lick our wounds, talk some bullshit, and then finally look beyond the Greatest Rivalry Series at what else is happening in the wonderful world of rugby.Hopefully, at some point soon, we can stop making thumbnails with sad faces.

Rugby's Greatest Rivalry is finally over, and the Springboks have completed an historic inaugural series win over the All Blacks. Phil, Ant and Dick look back on the final test and the series as a whole, as South Africa once again found a way to close out a game that felt much closer on the scoreboard than it did on the field. The Springbok bench made another huge impact, the backline survived yet another round of injuries, and the panel discusses the impressive performances of players including Hanekom, Kurt-Lee Arendse, Morne van den Berg and Pieter-Steph du Toit. The boys then take a broader look at the series and ask just how big the gulf between the two teams really was. Despite New Zealand remaining competitive until the final stages of almost every test, South Africa controlled most of the important areas of the game — while the All Blacks' struggles at scrum, lineout and aerial ball remained throughout the tour. The panel also questions the increasingly defensive reaction from the New Zealand coaching staff, particularly their tendency to blame refereeing and other external factors rather than looking at their own performance. And then it's awards season. The boys pick their moment, try, tackle, flop, find and player of the series, with plenty of love for Jasper Wiese, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Malcolm Marx and Morne van den Berg — alongside a few less flattering awards for New Zealand, Angus Gardner and the tournament's rather questionable promotion. Plus the return of Richie Mo'unga, whether the All Blacks' hype got a little ahead of reality, the unfortunate state of the Rugby's Greatest Rivalry social media operation, and why three wins from four still somehow wasn't quite as comfortable as it should have been.

The All Blacks are heading home after a series defeat to South Africa, and having been humbled by the Springboks in Baltimore over the weekend. Commentator and rugby writer Tony Johnson spoke to John Campbell.

Despite more than 30 years since the first free and fair elections in South Africa which swept Nelson Mandela to power, access to sport is still deeply affected by the decades spent under apartheid and colonial powers before that. Emile talked to Associate Professor of Sport History at Stellenbosh University Francois Johannes Cleophas, starting with what, if any, power the name 'The All Blacks' carried as he was growing up in South Africa

Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori starts on Monday and so if you've always wanted to try, there's no better time! For some that desire to learn a bit of te reo, and find out more about te Ao Maori comes through sport... it's front and centre for some, from the All Blacks haka, and now the Warriors haka. In other sports it may be a little less visible but no less important. Representing New Zealand Cricket we welcomed Pou Tikanga David Bhana and White Fern Eden Carson who won the ICC Women's T20 and a bronze medal at the Birmingham Common wealth Games. First Emile asked about Eden's exposure to te reo as a child.
