If the Crusaders are well and truly back in 2025 (and they are), then what on earth happened to them last season?

Sports correspondent Jamie Wall joins Emile Donovan to discuss the big stories in sport.

New Zealand Rugby is suing one of the All Blacks sponsors for an alleged breach of contract. RNZ's Jamie Wall spoke to Lisa Owen.

It all seems quite surreal but New Zealand Rugby announced today it was taking sponsor INEOS owned by billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who is also a part owner of Manchester United football club. The NZR alleges the petrochemical company has breached its sponsorship agreement and failed to pay the first instalment of the 2025 sponsorship fee.t. The sponsorship deal is believed to have been worth around eight million dollars a year. So how did it all come to this and was it inevitable a deal with a billionaire with reputation for a reputation for being cut throat would end on unfavourable terms for New Zealand Rugby.
