The All Blacks will be looking to bounce back against a Welsh team who can't seem to catch a break. They've only won two tests since the 2023 Rugby World Cup, both wins coming against Japan this year, and look a long way away from being the team that won the 6 Nations in 2021. It's a task made no simpler by the fact that they're facing a wounded All Blacks side who are looking to exorcise their loss to England. Former Welsh winger Alex Cuthbert told Piney that if Wales can get a bit of parity in the lineout and scrum, that's when they'll be dangerous.

Tomorrow morning the All Black 2025 season will be extinguished. Although that is a generous term as the season hardly caught fire. From time to time there was a spark that threatened to ignite the team, bringing forth hell fire, engulfing the opposition, sucking their oxygen, charring them beyond recognition, blazing a trail to victory. But not this year. Nor last year. Any sniff of their former fire starter glory was a smoky nostril tease, a hint of the scorched earth policy the team once dispensed with impunity. Not anymore. This is not the team of days gone by. This is not the team standing on the shoulders of the giants of All Black teams of old. The teams that built the legend of New Zealand rugby. Don't get me wrong, they are not a poor team. At times they poke their head out of the mire of mediocrity they've found themselves in and give us a taste of days gone by, but for the most part, they're a team that is capable of great moments, but incapable of piecing these moments together for a display of consistent dominance. There is nothing that Sunday mornings selection can do to change the course of this distressing narrative. Thrash Wales? Sure, but it's only Wales. Show a defined turnaround from the piecemeal offerings to date? The player make up is so different from the team that wilted in the face of England, we'll be none the wiser as to the development of the group as a whole. The most depressing part of this slow collapse of the AB dynasty is the resignation of the fanbase that this is as good as gets. The fire that burns twice as bright, burns half as long, but the All Blacks did burn so very, very brightly. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sean Mullin is an award-winning filmmaker. He has been a writer, director and/or producer on seven films that have received theatrical releases. His critically-acclaimed feature film debut as a writer/director – Amira & Sam – won the top prize at numerous festivals and was distributed theatrically by Drafthouse Films in 2015. His documentary about baseball legend, Yogi Berra – It Ain't Over – received a theatrical release by Sony Pictures Classics in 2023. It is one of the best reviewed sports documentaries of all time – and it was nominated for two Critics Choice Awards and a Writers Guild Award. Prior to his filmmaking career, Sean graduated from West Point where he played rugby. He served an army officer, stationed in Germany and he finished his time as a Captain in the New York Army National Guard – where he was a first responder after the attacks of September 11th, 2001. For several months, he spent his days working as the Officer in Charge of the soldiers stationed at Ground Zero – and his nights performing stand-up comedy.  Sean's most recent documentary – Brothers on Three – is an unprecedented look inside the most unique culture of any Division I Athletic program in the country – the West Point Army Rugby Team – as they fight to defend their National Championship. The film hits theaters in November of 2025, and streaming in spring 2026. Jerry and John got an early screening and were blown away. In this weeks podcast, we discuss the film with Sean, and the incredible emotion it invokes as it follows the West Point rugby team. It is a film about positive masculinity, overcoming hardship, and the love among not only teammates, but the men and women who serve our country. As Team Captain Larry Williams says, "Being a good leader isn't about how much you win – it's how you handle loss." To these guys, their team motto of "Trust, Commitment and Love" is much more than just three words: They're a way of life.  Watch the Trailer: www.BrothersOnThreeFilm.com Follow on Instagram: @brothersonthree BOOK A SPEAKER: Interested in having John or one of our speaking team come to your school, club or coaching event?

D'ascendance Italienne, c'est à Pommevic, dans le Tarn et Garonne, que grandit Fabien. Très brièvement attiré par le foot, il s'est vite rendu à l'évidence et le rugby l'a choisi !Débutant en jeunes à Valence d'Agen, il y progresse et rejoint le club que toute sa famille supportait : le SU Agen.Il file ensuite du côté du Stade Toulousain où il intègre le centre de formation, allant même jusqu'à faire quelques apparitions chez les Pros. Tenant à jouer pilier, il quitte les Rouge et Noir qui lui voyaient plutôt un avenir au talonnage, et il fait son retour à Valence d'Agen, en Fédérale 1.Il n'y passera qu'une saison : Henry Broncan, le Sorcier Gersois, le surveille et l'enrôle au FC Auch où il se révèle aux yeux du grand public. Après un titre de Pro D2 en 2007, il y découvre le Top 14 et honore ses premières capes avec le XV de France en 2008.Alors qu'il fait sa place chez les Bleus, Fabien prend la direction du Pays Basque et s'engage au Biarritz Olympique où il s'impose là aussi comme une référence à son poste : pour cause, il a été désigné meilleur pilier gauche du Monde en 2009 !Par ailleurs finaliste de la Coupe d'Europe en 2010 avec le Biarritz Olympique, puis finaliste de la Coupe du Monde l'année suivante avec le XV de France, il fait un rapide passage par Toulon avant de raccrocher les crampons en 2017, à Grenoble, miné par les blessures.De retour sur la côte Basque avec sa petite famille, Fabien s'est éloigné du monde du rugby et exerce dorénavant le métier de kiné.Ce grand passionné d'Histoire n'en oublie pas d'avoir un humour décapant et je suis vraiment ravi d'avoir passé ce long moment à mieux le découvrir.Bonne écoute !-----------------------------

Sam Whitelock knows pressure. He's captained the All Blacks through some of rugby's most intense moments. He's made high-stakes decisions with the weight of a nation on his shoulders. And now, he's turned that same grit and composure to life on the farm.  But here's what Sam's learned. Real leadership isn't about powering through at all costs. It's knowing when to push and when to pause. When to speak and when to listen. And how to look after yourself, so you can lead others well.  In this episode, Sam opens up about his transition from rugby to farming, the lessons he's learned along the way, and how the principles of leadership he honed on the field apply to farming life. From managing stress and communicating effectively to balancing the demands of family and business, Sam offers practical insights that can help anyone facing the pressures of modern-day farming.  We cover:  The parallels between leadership on the rugby field and managing a farming business, and how both environments require clear communication, calm decision-making, and showing up for your team.  The importance of staying grounded and managing stress in high-pressure situations.  The impact of Farmstrong, a wellness initiative supporting farmers' mental and physical health.  The challenges of farming and why building a support network and taking time off are key to long-term success.    Whether you're managing a farm or a team, Sam's reflections remind us that leadership is not just about being in control. It's about being self-aware enough to step back and ensure your own well-being is a priority.    Sam, thank you for sharing your journey with us and for reminding us that good leadership starts with taking care of ourselves.    For all our listeners, if you're looking for resources to support your mental and physical health, be sure to check out Farmstrong. And if you're in Australia, I encourage you to get involved with Active Farmers, a great initiative supporting rural communities.    Keep leading, keep caring, and keep supporting your mental well-being.    Sincerely,    Jeremy Hutchings & the Farm Owners Academy Team 

A revamped All Blacks side has been tasked with maintaining an almost 72-year unbeaten legacy against Wales on Sunday morning in Cardiff. Three players —captain and lock Scott Barrett, flanker Simon Parker and Will Jordan, who shifts to the right wing— remain in the run-on side from last week's loss to England. Ardie Savea and Codie Taylor are among the players rested...along with Cam Roigard and Beauden Barrett. Newstalk ZB Rugby Commentator Elliott Smith told Mike Hosking much like the bronze medal match at the Rugby World Cup, no one really wants to play it. He says it feels more like a box ticking exercise, but they've got to get through it, come home with a win, and then face what comes over the course of the summer.

WASHINGTON, DC - It was a whirlwind week of rugby that included reassuring news on the Major League Rugby front, the NCR Playoffs sending host Matt McCarthy to Oklahoma, and the USA Men's Eagles playing in Romania. MLR Weeky touches all the bases, so you don't have to. Old Glory, DC Head Coach Simon Cross:  Cross answers a wide range of questions with real answers, not in the Coach-Speak, non-answer jargon that American sports fans get fed every day by the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL. Cross is refreshingly transparent.

Ep. 169: Opération Portes Ouvertes - France vs Fidji / Autumn Nations 2025On craignait un match piège pour les bleus, et s'ils ont gagné, le moins qu'on puisse dire c'est qu'ils n'ont rassuré personne, même pas eux mêmes. A part les rares satisfactions Deporteere et Ollivon, le spectacle offert par les deux équipes fut décevant et surtout marqué par des faiblesses défensives criantes de part et d'autre. Vite, la suite ! Pour ne pas finir la tête a l'envers il faudra venir à bout d'australiens déboussolés qui ont pris la marée verte à Dublin et s'avancent à Paris pour tenter de se racheter d'une tournée catastrophique... malheur au vaincu !Ce match sera le dernier des bleus avant un six nations qui programme la réception des anglais et des irlandais à Paris... perspective quelque peu angoissante au vu du niveau de jeu affiché ce WE outre Manche...

Rugby is facing a massive few years. A battle to demonstrate financial sustainability, the need for players to build brands that can compete with sport's biggest stars, a threat to established systems from challenger leagues; it's sink or swim time, if that's not being too dramatic.Dan Biggar is one of the game's great fly-halves (though he'd never admit it himself): over 100 caps for Wales including 3 World Cups and a 6 Nations Grand Slam, and a 2-time British & Irish Lion. While it pains me to recognise much of this success with any genuine words of congratulations, what we are seeing from him now in his work behind the scenes in the media and wider business world is much easier to support. It's a great example of the real value an athlete can bring beyond the field. As you've just heard, a quite brilliant segment of this chat is Dan opening up on life after retirement and how to adjust as an athlete to a new reality. Yes this is about the state of Welsh rugby, but it's also a look at the broader game and what needs to happen to ensure rugby can compete for the attention of fans increasingly being pulled in different directions by new and shiny entertainment offerings.Timestamps:00:00 Intro05:49 The Current State of Welsh Rugby10:13 Why Wales' Rugby Results Have Declined12:17 Inside the WRU's Unique Funding Model17:26 What Steve Tandy Brings to Wales20:14 Why Gatland Worked Then30:26 Inside the 2015 Rugby World Cup ‘Group of Death'34:31 Life After a Defining World Cup Moment46:37How Dan Biggar Views the PREM Rugby Today50:53 How Competitive Are Welsh Teams Right Now?54:54 Moving Into a New Environment After Rugby01:00:52 How Personal Brands Shape Today's Athletes01:03:37 The Scheduling Problem Facing Club & Country01:07:37 After Rugby & Media: What Comes Next?On today's show we discuss: The State of Welsh Rugby:Why Welsh rugby finds itself at a crossroads.

Be honest, we don't bite!Most people have branded Harvey Armstrong as "the cheater" from Made in Chelsea.But behind the cameras is a founder who built a functional beer brand from scratch, quit a Big Four finance career at 23, and learned the hard way what fame does to your reputation, relationships, and mental health.Harvey sits down with Matt Haycox to strip back the reality of reality TV, what's real, what's staged, and what the public never sees, while also walking through the real business strategy behind Prime Time Lager.He opens up about quitting a stable accounting career, navigating backlash after public scandals, expanding a brand in a saturated beer market, and why he believes functional, “better-for-you” alcohol will be the next big wave.If you've ever wondered what being on a show like Made in Chelsea actually does to your career, your bank account, your mental health, or your business, this episode tells the truth without the gloss.Timestamps:0:00 – Intro & Harvey's Upbringing 3:23 – Rugby, Uni Life & The Big Four Trap 13:11 – Quitting Finance & Building Prime Time Lager 21:17 – Made in Chelsea: Pay, Staging & Behind-the-Scenes Truths 32:24 – Fame, Scandals, Regrets & Mental Health 39:14 – Building a Business: Investing, Strategy & Prime Time's USP 47:16 – Money Mindset, Entrepreneurship & What's Next

The team arrived in Cardiff from London via bus for the 13th and final match - with a number of changes expected in the side to face the Welsh. Cam Roigard and Beauden Barrett are unlikely to play, although would have expected bench roles at most. Sportstalk host Jason Pine explained further - and unpacked whether Razor should be worried.

The All Blacks lost to England 33-19 - a defeat that ends their hopes of an unbeaten Grand Slam tour. The game at Twickenham saw the All Blacks start the match strong, but England's strong momentum in the second half, and a last minute try to rub salt in the wound, secured victory. The crushing defeat has raised questions around Scott Robertson's coaching of the team. Former All Black sir John Kirwan told Mike Hosking that, 'it's a lonely place being head coach and they'll have to ask him some hard questions.'
