One News Sports Editor Abby Wilson and RNZ sports reporter Joe Porter discuss this weekend's sport action.
The All Blacks season is over, with the team rounding out their year with a comfortable win over an inexperienced Wales side in Cardiff. The Scott Robertson coached side failed to claim a Grand Slam on their Northern tour after a defeat to England, and finish 2025 with 10 wins and three losses. That sounds pretty good, but it was the nature of those three defeats, and some other inconsistencies, that has some pundits concerned about the team's progress two years out from the next World Cup. Rugby reporter Joe Porter runs the ruler over the All Blacks year.

The All Blacks have held the Bledisloe Cup since 2003, so has that dulled their desire for more success against the Wallabies?

The All Blacks will be without captain Scott Barrett for this weekend's opening Bledisloe Cup test at Eden Park.

However, a few other frontline players are back from injury, with coach Scott Robertson making several changes from the team that suffered a record defeat to the Springboks. Rugby reporter Joe Porter spoke to Lisa Owen.
