An immediate game reaction pod this week. The most hyped game of the year delivered, the All Blacks held strong to keep their 30-year fortress intact and gave Ardie Savea the perfect 100th test celebration, while the Boks were left muttering about what could've been. Over in Townsville, the Wallabies played the role of international rugby's rom-com kings once again, pulling off another ridiculous comeback against the Pumas. And we talk BS and Rugby whilst smiling and slightly drunk. Grab a beer and Enjoy.

Growing up, my mother used to say that life is 95 percent anticipation. It's in the wait, the build-up and the preparation where the joy is often found. Often the actual event is a let-down. That was not how I felt at 9pm last night. Well done to the All Blacks. But I loved the leadup to last night's win at Eden Park. I was excited when I got up yesterday morning and I found myself looking for things to do to help make the day go faster. Even for those who aren't fans, surely there was a little curiosity about how things were going to turn out at the fortress last night. It was the most anticipated All Blacks game of the season. A battle against our greatest and most respected foe, at a venue with an impressive legacy. The All Blacks and the Springboks were playing for The Rugby Championship, but, as the general sense of excitement around the country indicated, there is so much more than that - this is one of the great rivalries in sport. We heard about it all week - Ardie Savea's 100th test and all the stats around Eden Park's history. As much as John Kirwan was right, the team should focus on the match in front of them, and forget the history - there's no doubt the All Blacks were invigorated by everything that came with the occasion. One of the best things about sport like last night is that it's a distraction. 2025 hasn't quite been the cracker we'd hoped it would be and the spring weather has packed up - we needed a good night of entertainment. There's nothing like a game of sport to unite a community or country, it's a good feeling. The Tour de France got me through the short days of winter and over the last few weeks the US Open has got me dreaming I can still play tennis, the Warriors keep us guessing week after week, and the whole family has an opinion on F1 at the dinner table. I've come to realise I generally love sport more than who wins or loses. If the game is good and fair and gives us a thrill then I'm happy with that. It's just a smidgen better when it's a Kiwi team who wins. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Among the potential bits of history to be made in tomorrow night's massive Rugby Championship match in Auckland is a milestone that's gone somewhat under the radar. Loose forward Ardie Savea is set to bring up his 100th test in a game at Eden Park where the All Blacks' impressive unbeaten run is set to be threatened by the Springboks. Ardie Savea debuted in June 2016, coming off the bench in a 39-21 win over Wales at Eden Park Chris Boyd gave Ardie Savea his Wellington debut in 2012 and coached him there until 2014, and then as coach of the Hurricanes between 2015 and 2018. He joined Piney to discuss Savea's incredible career. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hansen's been on the ground in Japan at Toyota Verblitz, where Mo'unga's guided Toshiba to back-to-back titles in the top league. He told Jason Pine he's got no doubt the 31-year-old will hit the ground running, as Ardie Savea and Beauden Barrett, among others, have.

Scott Robertson can no longer be accused of being timid with his All Blacks team selections. Ten changes were made to the starting XV for Saturday's third and final test against France in Hamilton. Ethan de Groot, Fabian Holland, Patrick Tuipulotu, Ardie Savea and Rieko Ioane are the only players remaining from the last run-on side. Newstalk ZB's voice of rugby Elliott Smith told Heather du Plessis-Allan that opportunities to test out different players and different combinations don't come along too often. He says the All Blacks still want to win the final test, but Robertson has to take these opportunities to find out a little bit more about the likes of Damian McKenzie on 10, Samipeni Finau on blindside flank, among others. “You just won't get them too often, and it certainly won't come in the rugby championship.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The All Blacks selectors have rung 10 changes to the starting XV for Saturday's third and final test against France in Hamilton. Ethan de Groot, Fabian Holland, Patrick Tuipulotu, Ardie Savea and Rieko Ioane are the only players remaining from the last run-on side. Samisoni Taukei'aho, Tyrel Lomax, Samipeni Finau and Luke Jacobson come into the starting pack. The backline changes includes promotions for Cortez Ratima, Damian McKenzie, Quinn Tupaea, Anton Lienert-Brown, Sevu Reece and Ruben Love. All Blacks assistant coach Jason Holland says it's important to make changes - and he's expecting the squad to deliver a solid performance against the French.

Unlike last week, the All Blacks team for the final clash against France is filled with changes. Ethan de Groot, Fabian Holland, Patrick Tuipulotu, Ardie Savea and Rieko Ioane are the only players remaining from the last run-on side. Rugby Commentator Tony Johnson told Andrew Dickens that Scott Robertson and the other selectors certainly fulfilled their promise to be bold with their selection. However, he says, that comes with a considerable risk against the French team, who still feel that they can take something out of the series.

All Black Ardie Savea is backing his under-fire Super Rugby Pacific side. Savea captained Moana Pasifika to their most successful season on record this year, but the franchise's funding model is now under scrutiny. Moana Pasifika became part of the Pasifika Medical Association Group a year ago and Te Puni Kokiri has launched an independent review into allegations of use of public funding by the group for the professional rugby side. The Pasifika Medical Association is rejecting claims that public funds have been used in an inappropriate manner. Sports reporter Felicity Reid spoke to Lisa Owen.

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? Join Michael Hooper, Justin Harrison, Iain Payten & Michael AtkinsonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

Ardie Savea's urging Moana Pasifika fans to stick with the team - after confirming he won't play Super Rugby next year.

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.
