New revelations about a reported mugging of Ian Foster's wife and daughter in Paris, just days before the start of the Rugby World Cup.  1 News is reporting Leigh Foster and 24-year-old Football Fern Michaela Foster were accosted by a man with a knife near the All Blacks' hotel in early September.  All Blacks management subsequently warned people travelling in their contingent not to go out at night.  Newstalk ZB's Paris correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking that the hotel —allocated to the All Blacks at random— was in a notorious part of the city.  She says the area —on the south-east of greater Paris— is well known for the amount of violence that goes on there.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Corey Flynn is the definition of a lad! He's just one of those truely genuine good blokes who has had a rugby career take him on some journey. He's had some huge achievements like winning the Rugby World Cup but hearing what he had to go through to get that opportunity made it so much more special then the trophy. In this episode we got through plenty including, The tough decision to leave Southland to go to Canterbury and the Crusaders. Being named in the 2003 RWC squad out of no where (crazy story how he found out) A rough patch in his career much revolved around injuries and drinking How he got out of that rough patch to force his way back into the All Blacks His time in France and Scotland, Even playing heartland for Westcoast, and much much more. I'd had plenty of requests to get Flynny and after this conversation I now know why, he's so honest and open in this episode as well as sharing plenty of good stories from his time. I know you'll enjoy this one!

Departing All Blacks coach Ian Foster has condemned the growing abuse professional sportspeople and officials are encountering.  His comments came after news Wayne Barnes is retiring from refereeing following an international career spanning 17 years and a record 111 tests across five World Cups.  The Englishman was reportedly the subject of death threats in the aftermath of the World Cup final.  Foster told told Mike Hosking that some of the feedback is unacceptable.  Meanwhile, Foster maintains he's spoken to nobody about future coaching opportunities but isn't ruling out any avenues yet.    Revealed: Foster spurned job talks on eve of World Cup -NZ Herald Departing All Blacks coach Ian Foster has revealed he was approached about coaching jobs on the eve of the Rugby World Cup but refused to discuss further so he could be fully focussed on the side's campaign.  Foster's side fell just short of claiming a fourth World Cup title after going down 12-11 to the Springboks in Paris. Scott Robertson now takes over as All Blacks coach.  Talking to Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking Breakfast, Foster said he wants to continue coaching but said he hasn't talked to anyone including Rugby Australia after the departure of Eddie Jones.  “I'm not saying anything about my future at the moment, but all I'd say is I haven't spoken to anyone about anything and I've done that deliberately,” he told the Mike Hosking Breakfast.  “I had a couple of options before the World Cup that I basically said, if you want to talk to me, you have to wait till after the World Cup.  “Because I don't want this team or in fact, this country, thinking that I was busy trying to sort myself out before the biggest event.  “And for me, I wanted my team to know that I was 100 percent focused on the team. I'd like to think that everyone saw that and now I'll take my time and figure out what's next. The timing is not perfect because a lot of jobs have all gone, but that's ok. I was willing to take that risk.”  Foster joined the All Blacks as an assistant coach in 2012 and was part of the coaching staff when the side won the World Cup title in 2015. He took the reins from Steve Hansen following the 2019 World Cup. Under Foster, the All Blacks won four Rugby Championship titles and retained both the Freedom Cup and Bledisloe Cup. He has the third most wins as an All Black coach (32 from 46 tests).  Foster was asked whether he wanted to continue coaching at the highest level.  “Well, I think that's one of the options. You consider two things. You got the club stuff in Europe. You've got Japan, and then there's the international game.  “But it's immensely difficult to talk about trying to coach another country when you've just had 12 years with the best team in the world and who's so close to my heart and quite frankly I just need to breathe a little bit before I go down that path,” he revealed.  Ian Foster at peace with coaching era  Hosking asked Foster whether he was at peace with his time as All Blacks coach.  “I think I am but I'm still going over everything.  “We went into a World Cup that everyone thought, we all knew, was going to be probably one of the toughest ever and nearly nailed it.  “So, I'm at peace that we did everything we could that we gave it everything we got but still there's always a massive disappointment we couldn't get across the line.  “It's been interesting four years. It started with the board and players fighting at each other over Silver Lake and that took about 12 months to get resolved. It set a sort of a platform of a niggly relationship between the players and the board, which wasn't actually anything to do with me. But that was the paradigm that we came into.  “We then went through Covid and the way we structured our seasons became very different. For example, I think we only played South Africa once in New Zealand in the four years.  “But everything settled down and I feel we got ourselves into a really good position going into that World Cup and ultimately that was the goal. I'm pretty proud of the effort that my coaching group, my management team put through and knowing that that things were over at the end of the campaign, but we were able to keep our focus singular on what we needed to do.  “And for that, I'm really proud of that group.”  “When I got the job, it always seemed to be under a condition, didn't it? It was the two year contract. They had another candidate that half the people wanted and from then on it was the leaves that they looked at everything that we did.  “And so once people fix their minds on an opinion, it's very hard to move them and to be fair, I'm relaxed with that.  “I'd like to think that now they realise that I lead a group that was highly motivated that could really produce a team that can win a World Cup. And the support that I've had has been phenomenal.”    LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Une victoire qui met les Springboks seuls sur le toit du monde avec quatre titres au compteur, série en cours, eux qui n'avaient pas participé aux deux premières éditions pour cause d'apartheid ! Tous leurs adversaires et en premier lieu les All Blacks ont fait les frais d'un jeu tout en puissance et d'une défense de fer… suffisants pour s'imposer au grand désespoir des amateurs de rugby champagne!  L'heure est désormais aux bilans et notamment celui que World Rugby devra mener sur l'arbitrage et sa cohérence globale.

That's it! The 2023 RWC is all over and man has that taken us on an emotional rollercoaster. So much to discuss in this last ever episode of the Dance in France review show. It's been awesome having Searley and Jacob Atkins join me for the RWC to give their analysis and for this one last time they go hard.   7 out of the 8 knockout games came down to the last play! Again the final was no different, the All blacks playing a majority of the game with 14 men, South Africa playing with plenty of passion, winning collisions. Tension was high, drama was even higher. You'll hear all our thoughts in the episode but incredibly proud of the All Blacks and their performance.   We also talk the 3rd and 4th playoff game, how we think we can fix the TMO issue with our game, fantasy rugby wrap up and heaps more.   I've really enjoyed bringing these episodes to you, hopefully in 4 years time we are even bigger and better!

The Roar rugby experts Brett McKay and Harry Jones are joined by NZ radio broadcaster Martin Devlin, and esteemed Australian rugby writer and tourist Jim Tucker, for the Instant Reaction to South Africa's 12-11 win over New Zealand In a titanic Rugby World Cup Final at the Stade de France in Paris. The Springboks are the first country to win four RWC titles, and huge congratulations to their team and their fans the world over. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

“Historically, the All Blacks haven't faced too much adversity. But here it is. The team is at odds and ends. The players are being criticised. The coaches and their bosses are being hammered in the press.  Maybe they will falter. Maybe we're watching the unravelling of a once-mighty team. Maybe Silver Lake has bought a dud.  Or maybe, through whatever changes are necessary, and through the pluck and determination of a unit that can only be truly tested when its back is against the wall, the All Blacks will find a way to rise up.”  Those were the words of famed rugby analyst Jack Tame on a radio station called Newstalk ZB, shortly after the All Blacks had lost a home series to Ireland for the first time.  15 months on, I'll be honest, my thoughts have been a bit muddled this week.  Yes, I can rationalise that we've improved massively since that last encounter with the Springboks back in August. A 28-point deficit? Surely that won't be repeated. I can rationalise that we're fit. We're coming off a slightly longer break. We've weathered the Irish storm. Our set piece is a thousand times better than it was, we've barely lost a lineout in the tournament and our outside backs are maybe the most exciting in World rugby.  Buuuuuuuuuut, still. South Africa. They're good.  I feel for Dane Coles missing out. For years he's defined what a hardy, mischievous hooker should be. I'm not bothered by the locking decision either way - Retallick to start and Whitelock on the bench - except to say that Sam Whitelock is a titan of a leader, and I can't imagine a Rugby World Cup victory without him playing a massive role, whether off the bench or in the starting 15.  Buuuuuuuuuut, still. South Africa. Gulp.  The Springboks have named a 7-1 split. Seven forwards on the bench. That's a gamble.  Gambles can backfire.  But if there's anything… any one thing that can push the All Blacks over the edge… that can propel them to Word Champion status… That can secure a record fourth Rugby World Cup… It's the story.  It's that doing so will be the pièce de résistance… the cherry on top of the whole Ian Foster fiasco.  I was not someone who thought Ian Foster was the best man for a job. I'm still not! But I also think he's been treated woefully over the last few years. And in the midst of a pretty awful situation, I think he acted with dignity and grit.  Finishing up as the coach of the World Champions wouldn't just be an incredibly satisfying conclusion to his All Blacks career. It'd be a hell of a middle finger to the haters.  And I can never underestimate the power of stories in sport. Stories are what give sport its magic. I want to finish with another quote of mine from last year:  “Maybe it's lunacy to even ponder a World Cup victory next year. But crazier things have happened in sport.”  “Often the greatest sporting narratives are those in which an athlete or a team overcomes adversity. Victory against all odds.”  I said my thoughts had been a bit muddled this week. My head and my heart in a furious battle. But the closer we get to kick-off, the more clarity I have.  Ultimately, I do know what I think. I think I was right to maintain that sliver of optimism even during trying times. I think the All Blacks will win. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Rugby World Cup is coming to a close this weekend as the All Blacks face South Africa in what's set to be an epic final match.   All Blacks Coach, Ian Foster, told Mike Hosking that getting to this point wasn't easy, but it helped build the team's character.   He said that a little adversity never killed anyone, as long as you don't sulk about it but you do roll your sleeves up and get stuck into it.  Foster said he's incredibly proud of what they've achieved and now they know they can go on to play the game they want to play.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The All Blacks have made it to the Rugby World Cup final for the fifth time.   They're set to face the Springboks Sunday morning in an epic clash for the cup.  Former All Blacks Captain, John Hart, told Mike Hosking that the combination of youth and experience is really working for the team.  He said they've got the team they want, and they've gone in injury free, and are prepared to put in a first-class performance against South Africa.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all.     The process of elections: 2/10  Surely we have collectively decided this week that three weeks is nutty. The Electoral Commission have some answers to produce and it can't be as hard and slow as they make it.     The All Blacks: 8/10  I feel good, don't you? It's not a forgone done deal, but they look good, they look confident, and they look a lot better than when we all decided they weren't up to much.     Andrew Webster: 8/10  A three-year extension for one of the best coaches we have seen in years.     Houses: 6/10  Banks doors are open, apparently, to lower deposits - plus prices are rising and investors are bullish.     Squid Game: 4/10  A real-life version of the movie on Netflix? Normally it's a movie of real life.     Eight hour working day: 5/10  Fewer and fewer of us actually work eight hours. It seems work is all a bit hard for a growing number of us. What happened to work being fun and good for us?     Donald Trump: 2/10  How many of his people have to turn and cut a deal before he is crushed under the weight of it?     The rugby expansion: 7/10  The North/South thing I like, the World Cup changes are a waste of time    LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Après un océan de larmes vertes et bleues il était (presque) écrit que cette compétition pour la coupe Webb Ellis se jouera it entre Blacks et Boks.  Pour accéder au match décisif les Blacks ont déroulé  leur rugby face à des Argentins qui n'ont fait illusion que 5 belles premières minutes avant de sombrer face aux coéquipiers de Aaron Smith en roue libre, bien loin d'une ambiance de demi finale. Les Sud Af quant à eux ont disposé in extremis d'Anglais revenus à leurs convictions de kick & rush mais qui avaient malheureusement oublié leur adage fétiche : « no scrum, no Win » dans un match techniquement désespérant.  au son du sifflet de Ben O'Keefe que World Rugby n'avait pas jugé bon de préserver… de l'avalanche des sifflets du stade de France (quelle drôle d'idée!!), les Springboks sont à nouveau vainqueurs d'un tout petit point.

Neil Treacy is joined by BJ Botha and Mike McCarthy to look back on last weekend's RWC semi-finals, as South Africa and New Zealand booked their place in this Saturday's decider.

A fresh shout for Kiwi kids to back their team in black this week.   A campaign is calling on school kids to ditch their uniforms and don something black to show support for All Blacks ahead of the Rugby World Cup Final.  The man behind the campaign, former NZR Chief Executive, David Moffett told Mike Hoksing that it's a way for kids around the country to feel involved.  He says it'll give the final a bit more meaning.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nathan Johns @nathanrjohns of the Irish Times discusses all of the action in this weekend's quarter finals of the Rugby World Cup.One unfancied team making the semis is ok, two reveals poor RWC seeding & planning. But Nathan convincingly argues that calibrating these things is difficult.Nathan persuades Chris that the 'technical' aspects of the game are as important as the flashier, more 'entertaining' stuff.But isn't rugby all about tries?What about the big one, the final?

Après quatre années de rêve bleu, le XV de France marchait vers son premier moment de vérité : un match éliminatoire  contre les sud africains tenants du titre et bien décidés à le conserver! Au terme d'un match démarré pied au plancher mais émaillé d'erreurs parfois incompréhensibles, nos bleus se sont fracassés sur des springboks costauds et stratégiquement irréprochables. C'est la fin d'un rêve de titre mondial à la maison qui n'a pas fini de faire pleurer la France tant cette équipe avait suscité de ferveur et d'espoirs !  Notre immense tristesse ne doit pas occulter celle des irlandais eux aussi terrassés par une équipe all-black dont la montée en puissance ne cesse d'impressionner. Les argentins  et les anglais, victimes désignées des demi-finales auront fort à faire pour se hisser en finale.  Place aux demies !!  Et bon mercredi avec le pack !!

What makes a great winger? Is it the ability to beat the best defenses? The slight of foot, and dashing balance as they navigate through a trove of stout defenders? What about a lethal step, or an unimaginable field vision? Uncle Johnny was in studio to flesh out who Le Shane Williams 'Tiny Dancer' of Le Tournament is for this dazzling affair in France the past few weeks. While many names come straight into mind (.... think RWC 2019 final when Owen Farrell got spun around like a ballerina) ... John has his list of names both old and new who were in contention for the prestigious Rugby PickEm Award. Could it be Mack "The Knife" Hansen, Sir Darcy Graham (straight out of a Jane Austen novel), or a rather new name on the winger circuit ... the Portuguese Raffeale Storti (aka Storti the Shorty) ??? All that and more on a rather wild and crazy Rugby PickEm. Enjoy. PICKEM!

We review the final round of RWC 2023 Pool Stage games including Ireland's demolition of Scotland, England's malaise against Samoa and Portugal's heroic win against Fiji. We also preview all of next week's quarter finals. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Bt & Uncle Johnny recap what has been an exquisite month of Rugby World Cup action in the home country of France. From sharing a suite with hot & sweaty Irish lads, to close encounters with Jellyfish in the famous Basque country surf, the lads give the blow by blow of what has been a fantastic RWC. Que Magnifique! We recap rounds 1-4, and preview what is being dubbed as the "pre-quarterfinals" this weekend. Hang onto your hats. PICKEM!
