Ryan Fox has had a stunner of a year so far, with two PGA Tour wins and a Top 20 finish at the US Open under his belt – not to mention a world record. Fox has said a few times that he knew his best golf across a given weekend was enough to beat the best golfers in the world, which has been proven true. “I had kind of believed it, and it was nice to actually do it,” he told Piney. He's back in town for a bit of a break, as well as to catch the Bledisloe Cup test tonight at Eden Park, and while they were on the subject of rugby, he touched on what it was like growing up as the son of All Blacks legend Grant Fox. As one might expect, rugby was one of the sports Fox played when he was younger, before he landed on golf. “Probably had a few too many concussions to carry on, but yeah, I loved it.” “I didn't help myself – I played 10 and I kick goals as well, so there was only gonna be one comparison there, and I was never gonna live up to that.” “The only thing I had on the old man is I wasn't afraid of tackling.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's time for the Bledisloe Cup, with the Wallabies and All Blacks clashing tonight at Eden Park. The last time the Wallabies were able to claim the victory at the Fortress was in 1986 – David Campese scoring the winning point. Australian halfback Nick Farr-Jones was the one to pass Campese the ball, and he later became the captain of the side, leading to victory in the 1991 Rugby World Cup. Farr-Jones told Piney that until 1992, the All Blacks were the biggest test matches for Australia, and he remembers each match almost like it was yesterday. He says that it was until 1987 that any international team actually stood up for the haka, and it was done as a sign of respect. “As an opponent, you want to send a second message: that we're not going to roll over and die.” “If you're going to beat us today, you're gonna have to play bloody well.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Bledisloe Cup has returned to Eden Park and joining Piney for a chat was one of the country's greatest ever lock forwards.

Jones played 105 games for the All Blacks, 79 of which were tests, and is now the GM of the All Blacks Experience – an interactive attraction dedicated to New Zealand rugby. He joined Piney to preview tonight's clash against the Wallabies and to look back at his incredible career with the national team. “To think we haven't lost a game at Eden Park since 1994, 51 test matches ago, is crazy,” Jones says. “This is why this game tonight, and every game since then, you've got to defend that Fortress.” “It is about mindset, it is about authority, it's about the first ten minutes of this game, to make it so the Wallabies go, s***, this is hard, there's no way we can win here.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
