Former All Blacks captain Kieran Read believes the All Blacks have a "great" chance of winning this year's World Cup, but he says they're not the favourites to take the title in France. The All Blacks take on Australia in the second Bledisloe Cup test in Dunedin this weekend, though the match is a dead rubber with the hosts having already retained the title and the Rugby Championship following three straight wins to start 2023. It is however the last chance for players to impress before coach Ian Foster names his Rugby World Cup squad on Monday in Napier.

Today's guest is one of the country's great All Blacks, Kieran Read. Not only did he captain the side 52 times, but was capped 128 times for New Zealand, won two World Cups, and four Super Rugby titles for the Crusaders. A huge rugby career that he stepped down from in 2021.

Kieran Read has urged NZ Rugby to select Scott Robertson as the next All Blacks coach. The former captain said the All Blacks coach selection process has been poorly handled by NZ Rugby and selecting Robertson is the quickest way to end it. Weekend Sport's Jason Pine agrees and says NZ Rugby needs to make the decision and unencumber Ian Foster before the World Cup. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our fist venture into the live podcast universe with All Blacks professional Rugby legend Kieran Read. We discuss culture, leadership and trust in a cracking conversation  

On today's Rugby Daily, Richie McCormack brings you news of another Ireland doubt for the autumn internationals. Ulster's disappointment at their gastro-doubters. Leo Cullen on Kieran Read's surprise visit to Leinster. Plus, Alan Quinlan on how Munster's start to the season could easily have been even more grim.

Today we're joined by Jake Polledri to discuss his long awaited return to professional rugby, after 2 years out with a potentially career ruining injury the Italian international is back and hungry to make an impact both domestically for Gloucester and The Azurri. We hear about how dark the last 2 years have been for him, including losing his brother to a sudden cardiac arrest on a night out, but also his excitement to finally be back out competing once more. He recalls crazy stories with Sergio Parisse, messy Italian initiations, destroying Ryan Wilson on debut, the Gloucester milk challenge, taking down Kieran Read, the challenges of Italian rugby, and Adam Hastings weird obsession with his sister. Plus the lads do a full breakdown on the craziness of the weekends premiership action including that ridiculous Harlequins game and of course reflect on the rugby championship - whereby they brand the New Zealand side as 'the worst to ever win the title' - loads of laughs, analysis and fun as always. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today we spoke with James Laughlin - High Performance Leadership Expert and Former 7-time World Champion Music took James on an extraordinary journey around the world, winning and travelling along the way. He ended up in Christchurch, New Zealand, where he settled and created his High Performance Leadership Programme - lead yourself, lead others, lead always, with guests such as Kieran Read and Steve Hansen, former captain and head coach of the All Blacks. James works with elite players as a mental skills coach with Canterbury Rugby, and with executives in relation to purpose, habits, and overall leadership development. We unpacked overcoming major tough moments such as the Christchurch earthquake, a miscarriage and splitting up with a partner. We learned about what young Finn, James' son teaches him everyday, and why boundaries are essential for parenting. There was a fascinating dialogue around identifying and contacting mentors, why music was James' calling at a young age, and when James found his purpose.

Kia Ora e te whānau. It's hot, eh? This week we've got another greatest hit for you. In fact, not that we really pay attention to the numbers, but we have our most popular episode on DCR ever, Number 83 with the legendary Scotty Stevenson. It was hot the night that we recorded the podcast. Scotty walked into Eugene's lounge dressed up to the nines in full TV makeup (having just left the tele to come do the pod) and proceeded to lay down one of the most engaging, honest, and entertaining hours that we ever recorded.Scotty StevensonA broadcaster and journalist best known for his rugby commentary and reporting which makes him automatically one of the most well-known New Zealand TV personalities. He's a sports journalist with TVNZ, and also works with Spark Sport and Radio Hauraki, commentating on cricket and the America's Cup. He's also a sports writer, has ghost-written and written a string of some of the best sports books, from Straight 8 about Kieran Read, to Kiwi Pair about Eric Murray and Hamish Bond. Scotty has been previously known by his childhood nickname “Sumo” as, by his own account he was the “fat kid in speedos” at surf lifesaving. But things have changed. If you were to Google Scotty Stevenson, the number one thing that pops up on auto-search is “Scotty Stevenson weight loss”. It's because Stevenson has changed. Markedly. He has noticeably shrunk. And for those who've been watching closely, he started running. He's kept very quiet about it, but goodness me, the man is well and truly hooked. Three years ago, he couldn't run 85m. In 2019, he ran 85km, no less, through backcountry New Zealand in the Old Ghost Ultra in just over 12 hours. For those who saw the TVNZ report he did on the event, you'll know that he found it an extremely emotional experience. We talked to Scotty about that race, his life leading up to running, what sparked his decision to lace up, and the myriad of changes that this has had on his life.Enjoy!Episode LinksScotty Stevenson on InstagramScotty Stevenson on TwitterDirt Church Radio on InstagramDirt Church Radio on TwitterDirt Church Radio on FacebookDirt Church Radio on PatreonCieleFurther Faster New ZealandUltraspire NZSpring Energy NZSCOTT Running
