One of the stars of yesterday's game would have to be young Leicester Fainga'anuku. Through a twist of fate and poor judgement by Mark Telea, who was dropped for breaching team rules, 24 year old Fainga'anuku made his World Cup debut and scored the team's first try. There's rugby in his blood, with his Dad, Ta'u, playing for Tonga in the Rugby World Cup in 1999.

The All Blacks are now without seven first choice players ahead of this weekend's test against Japan in Tokyo, with Leicester Fainga'anuku returning to New Zealand due to family reasons.

England Coach Eddie Jones says rugby's use of red and yellow cards is "out of control" and that referees will be the most important player when the top teams meet at next year's World Cup.The All Blacks want answers after Ardie Savea was confined to the sidelines following a series of first half cards in the Dunedin defeat.Confusion reigned during a chaotic sequence of events that involved the All Blacks losing Leicester Fainga'anuku and Ofa Tuungafasi to yellow cards and replacement prop Angus Ta'avao to a red card.Forced to inject two replacement front rowers, the All Blacks substituted loose forwards Dalton Papalii and Ardie Savea at different times. That left the All Blacks with 12 men at one stage - as a result of going to uncontested scrums while two loosehead props, George Bower and Aidan Ross, packed down.Following their 23-12 defeat that squared the three-test series, the All Blacks have emailed World Rugby for an explanation.Former All Black Josh Kronfeld joined Simon Barnett and Tyler Adams (in for James Daniels) on the show.LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 23 -12 victory was Ireland's third over the All Blacks in the past four years, and saw New Zealand drop to a record low in the world rankings in fourth place. Angus Ta'avao was red-carded during the match for a dangerous tackle, while Leicester Fainga'anuku and Ofa Tu'ungafasi were both yellow carded, with All Blacks coach Ian Foster lamenting the way cards are issued by referees. RNZ's rugby reporter Joe Porter was watching the game. He spoke to Corin Dann.

Joe Schmidt has been called in to help coach the All Blacks in their first test against Ireland at Eden Park on Saturday after a Covid outbreak in camp.Schmidt was not due to start his selector/analyst role with the All Blacks until the Rugby Championship but after head coach Ian Foster, forwards coach John Plumtree and defence coach Scott McLeod all caught Covid, he will now attend team trainings this week.In further disruption for the All Blacks, Crusaders midfielders David Havili and Jack Goodhue have also been removed from the team due to Covid. Crusaders centre Braydon Ennor has joined the squad as cover.Schmidt coached Ireland from 2013-19 – a period that included their first win and maiden home victories against the All Blacks – before returning home last year. Schmidt's intimate knowledge of Ireland's senior players and management (Irish head coach Andy Farrell was his assistant) is sure to prove valuable.Losing their most experienced coaches causes significant disruption for the All Blacks, however.Given the seven day isolation period assistant coaches Brad Mooar and scrum coach Greg Feek, alongside Schmidt, will largely assume the reins.Ian Foster was among the few in All Blacks camp to test positive for Covid-19. Photo / PhotosportHavili was expected to start at second five-eighth alongside Rieko Ioane in the All Blacks midfield but Quinn Tupaea may now benefit from his and Goodhue's respective absences.Roger Tuivasa-Sheck also now looms as potential bench cover, although the All Blacks could prefer fellow test rookie Leicester Fainga'anuku.In a statement from isolation, Foster said he is confident in the team's ability to carry on preparing for the first test."We've had a plan for this happening, and it's a great opportunity for the wider coaching group and the senior players, who will be highly motivated to step up."We have learned how to cope with the unexpected, like everyone has over the past couple of years. I will still be working alongside the coaches and team via Zoom and I have huge faith in the coaching group and the players."We have structures in place and everyone is working together."

Leicester has proven himself to be one of the best young talents in New Zealand rugby, but this is no surprise after having to choose between rugby union or rugby league as a 15 year old. In this episode we talk about how he made that tough decision, how long it took him to figure out the game of rugby union, what it was like for him to play for Tasman and what is next for him in his career. A humble young man with a massive future ahead. Thanks for your time mate.

It was good news for two of the New Zealand teams that kicked off their Super Rugby seasons this week. The Crusaders have cruised to an easy 43-25 bonus point victory in their Super Rugby season opener against the Waratahs in Nelson.The two times defending champions dominated the first half leading 24-6 at the break, thanks to tries to outside backs Will Jordan, Braydon Ennor, and Leicester Fainga'anuku.The Waratahs found hope early in the second half with two tried to wing Mark Nawaqanitawase, but the Crusaders quickly quashed any hope the visitors had with Jordan and Ennor grabbing doubles and Luke Romano also getting on the score sheet.The Blues hoped to emerge victorious in their home game against the Chiefs. The Auckland side appeared completely in control at the break, after Rieko Ioane scored two typically blockbusting tries on the occasion of his 50th game and the Chiefs, expected to be competition front-runners this season, were strangely absent on attack and defence – they missed 20 tackles in the first half alone.But the visitors' comeback was quick and brutal, a turnaround which reaped a total of 32 second-half points. It was helped immensely by the introduction of their returning first-five Cruden who coolly organised their attack, dropped a goal in the final moments to extend his team's margin to seven points and kicked a penalty after the siren to deny the Blues a losing bonus point.The match ended 37-29 to the Blues. The Hurricanes suffered an even more embarrassing defeat, losing 27-0 to the Stormers.
