On the eve of Joe Schmidt's first Test Squad announcement the spotlights shines on his Captaincy contenders and potential flyhalf "bolters" - plus in the wake of Ardie Savea's Super Rugby sabbatical are there concerns around next year's tournament?

Moana Pasifika are downplaying their dependence on outgoing skipper Ardie Savea. He will miss Super Rugby next year to take up a sabbatical in Japan, before making a 2027 return. Savea is signed with NZR through to the end of the 2027 World Cup in Australia and will end up spending half of that cycle playing in Japan. Franchise boss Debbie Sorensen told Mike Hosking that Savea's contribution might look inordinate, but there's a lot of things that go together to make the team work really well. She says that he's worked quite hard to ensure he's not the single outlier, working hard to bring the squad together and mentor other players.

The Usos from the WesWes Network, Stace and Roger, discuss the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season and the bottom 5 teams that didn't make the playoffs, including Moana Pasifika and their inspirational leader, Ardie Savea. Then, the boys preview the Top Six Playoffs and discuss each game, as well as who they think will emerge as champions.

If the headline is right, and I hope it isn't, the Government are seeking advice on what to do about Run it Straight. If the Government is seeking this advice, they have been sucked in. Unless of course they are saying they are seeking advice so everyone shuts up for a bit, because the whole thing has got hopelessly out of control. We need to break the ongoing grip too many New Zealanders have with Government, or the ongoing spell that too many are under, that Governments run our lives and it is only Government that can do stuff. Ardie Savea, God bless him, got it spot on last week. He spoke for all of us in trying to balance a sensible observation about an activity, while balancing the reason for the angst for the tragedy that led to the heightened upset around it. What happened was a tragedy. But accepting that, we seem unable to separate out tragedy from Government, or accident from rules, or mishap from common sense. We fail to recognise the most obvious lack of connection – Run it Straight the competition, the organised sport, was not involved in a death. The death happened at a 21st party. As the Prime Minister pointed out, no law is stopping a 21st. We want desperately to stop stupidity. We would like to find a way to prevent young men, mainly, doing dumb stuff young men do. But as Ardie quite rightly put it, the athletic side of the activity is part of contact sport. We have all in our own way, whether it be bullrush, or league, or union, or MMA, all done something like it. Savea and his brother did what many, many, many, young men do in backyards: try to run each other over. Why is his brother called 'Bus', do you reckon? The heat I took on this last week when I said similar things was interesting. There seem a group who feel if they spray, or get aggro with a person like me, that makes them feel better. Maybe psychologically they can absolve themselves for feeling helpless. Tragedy generally leaves us helpless. But looking to a government is pointless and a government looking for advice is even more pointless. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
