A behind the scenes look at the All Blacks could be coming to our screens. NZ Rugby had reportedly been in talks with Netflix late last year about the production of a docuseries built around the events of the 2025 season. However, with the jettison of Scott Robertson as coach eight weeks after the season concluded, a new storyline has emerged – one that connects the events of 2025 with this year's build up to the World Cup under new management. But would an All Blacks docuseries be successful? And what would it take to make a compelling series? Dame Julie Christie joined Piney to give her thoughts.

Tillinghast design, and what it takes to succeed on one of the most demanding and historic junior stages in golf.The conversations cover course strategy, tournament preparation, mental approach, course conditions, and the unique traditions that make the Scott Robertson Memorial such a special championship — including the iconic winner's tree planted at Roanoke Country Club.From fast greens and strategic angles to elite junior talent and championship atmosphere, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at one of junior golf's standout events.

A concession from All Blacks coach Dave Rennie as he deliberates his first squad for July's Nations Championship series. He'll attend the Chiefs-Highlanders Super match in Hamilton tonight as the squeeze comes on for players to impress. A 34-strong group will be named for the tests against France, Ireland, and Italy, with a further 10 added for the tour of South Africa. Rennie told Mike Hosking the depth of talent is scarcer than the recent past. He says that in their heyday, the All Blacks would've had six or seven players featuring in the World XV, and they probably haven't got that number at the moment. However, Rennie says there is an enormous amount of talent in New Zealand, and their job is going to be to work with the Super Rugby coaches and staff to bring that through.

Catalyst Live Online Church Service - Scott Robertson by Catalyst Vineyard Church

All Blacks head coach Dave Rennie has confirmed his assistant coaching group and Head of Performance to take the team through to the 2027 Men's Rugby World Cup. Forwards coach Jason Ryan is the only one who survived under the Scott Robertson era. Ryan joins Piney to talk his reappointment - and what he can bring to the role in the months ahead. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The new All Blacks coach was appointed this week – Dave Rennie succeeding Scott Robertson in the role. It came down to two candidates – Rennie and Jamie Joseph, and according to NZ Rugby Chair David Kirk, it was Rennie's experience that took him over the line. Former All Black Keven Mealamu was a member of the recruitment panel, and told Piney both candidates had the skill set necessary to coach, but Rennie's ability to build strong cultures, and his pursuit of excellence and high standards really stood out. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After weeks of deliberation, the new All Blacks head coach has been named. Dave Rennie is succeeding Scott Robertson in the role, beating out the other top contender, Jamie Joseph. Rennie's first test at the helm will be in the July series against France, Italy, and Ireland, but his assistants have still yet to be named. NZ Rugby Chair David Kirk told Mike Hosking that the panel spent hours discussing the merits of the two candidates, and were very rigorous and analytical in discussing their strengths and relative weaknesses. He says they concluded quite firmly and certainly unanimously that Rennie was the person they wanted to appoint. WATCH ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New All Blacks head coach Dave Rennie has no doubt New Zealand can win next year's Rugby World Cup in Australia. The two-time Super Rugby-winning coach is taking over from Scott Robertson less than a year and a half before the showpiece tournament. Rennie says it will take a power of work and alignment in a short amount of time, but the All Blacks have the goods. Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave explains why Rennie was picked. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Top-tier experience and a systematic approach to rugby have won Dave Rennie the All Blacks' head coach job. After nine years offshore, the former Chiefs mentor will return home - appointed Scott Robertson's successor. New Zealand Rugby chair David Kirk has outlined what ultimately gave Rennie the edge. "The game is very global at the moment, innovation's coming from lots of different parts of the world, and I think we've got, frankly, plenty to learn from the rest of the world. So he can bring that back to us." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Scott Robertson will get an opportunity to coach against the Springboks this year. The former All Blacks mentor will guide the Barbarians for matches against the world champions and Wales.

Is it a bombshell? A moment too weird to properly comprehend and, because of that, is that why it isn't real? And if it's not real then it's not worth speculating on. And yet here I am speculating. The NZ Rugby Union has approached Steve Hansen and Ian Foster and asked them to apply for the coach's job. Is that the most absurd, bizarre, nutty, unbelievable, possibly stupid thing you have ever heard around rugby, or perhaps even sport? And yet it's suggested it's true. In a way I hope it isn't, unless it is. But first I'll deal with the 'isn't'. I hope it isn't because the union already have enough reputational issues without adding to them, like the panel, the rules and the criteria. For goodness sake, just go get a rockstar. Surely the All Blacks coaching job still has enough prestige that getting great talent isn't an issue? That's if you haven't already targeted someone, which they should have! But then I hope it is true because I love Hansen and I love Foster and I'm an old romantic who fizzes over the edge of the glass in excitement at what would be/could be one of the great redemption stories in all of sport. Both have issues with rugby and rules and unions. Foster especially got treated abysmally. How good could it feel to march back into the dressing room and say "Hello lads. Now where were we before I was so rudely interrupted?" But for the union, this is why it can't be true. You don't go to a Hansen or a Foster and say have an application form and see what you think. You beg for such talent to frequent your business! And if you're asking them to apply, what are you saying to Jamie Joseph and Co. who might be asking why they're looking for reheats when they're there. Not a bad point. See? It would be way better if none of this were true. Mind you it would be way better if they hadn't sacked Scott Robertson mid-term with a mass pay out and a restraint of trade with no clear plan going forward. This is almost so good it can't be real, while also being so bad it shouldn't be real. The key of course is to win the world cup and if we do that no one will care who the coach is. But that bit seems a long way off when we currently have no coach and in front of us what could be a stroke of genius, or sheer insanity. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been just over two weeks since Scott Robertson was sacked as the All Blacks Coach. We're now in prime speculation territory: what really happened, and who is going to pick up the reigns?

New Zealand Rugby interim boss Steve Lancaster has clarified the organisation's position on the appointment of a replacement for former coach Scott Robertson with less than two years until the World Cup. The successful candidate must be a New Zealander with international experience in a head role. Lancaster says that with only two years until the World Cup, they simply don't have time for someone to find their feet at this level, so they're looking for someone that can hit the ground running. He told Mike Hosking it's very much a point in time criteria given where we're at in the cycle, and the overall context. Lancaster says assistants will be decided once the initial set-up is in place.

It's been a whirlwind few weeks in New Zealand rugby with the shock sacking of All Blacks coach Scott Robertson after a couple of years that were maybe not great, but not exactly disastrous either.

New Zealand Rugby interim CEO Steve Lancaster has insisted today's coaching policy change isn't an admission of fault when hiring Scott Robertson. NZR has invited Kiwi coaches with international experience to apply for the vacant All Blacks job, something Robertson didn't have. Lancaster says New Zealand is 'incredibly blessed' to have a high calibre of potential coaches and he's confident the right choice will be found. "We're confident that there is a good number of coaches, both here in New Zealand and around the world that are capable of coaching the All Blacks and we don't think we need to go outside of that."

Tony Brown has admitted to frustrations around the vacant All Blacks coaching role. The former first-five has confirmed he intends to honour his contract as an assistant with South Africa, rather than make himself available for inclusion in any New Zealand group. Brown was a part of Jamie Joseph's pitch for the job in 2023, which lost out to Scott Robertson. Brown revealed to Mike Hosking that Robertson sounded him out about joining the All Blacks a couple of months ago. But he says his commitment to South Africa was four years and he's always wanted to honour that. “I'm just so frustrated that no one talked to me two years ago.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'm a bit exercised about Scott Robertson, because I like him and I thought he was a good coach. His record at Canterbury spoke for itself. The trouble in this country is that we can't have a sensible conversation about All Blacks coaches, because so many of us come to it with myopic, emotional views driven by idiocy like geography and personality expectations that have nothing to do with the actual job. Hansen had pro and anti camps, as did Foster, and now Robertson. It all wastes too much energy. Also, we might just be a bit too energised because we're a small country with not a lot else to think about. In the NFL at the moment, there are nine head coach vacancies — after eight sackings and one resignation. Over a quarter of all jobs in the NFL are up for grabs, and that isn't unusual. As for the EPL, there's a sacking every second day. What I can't quite work out is this: when David Kirk says we aren't where we need to be at this point in the cycle, what does that even mean? Where specifically do we need to be? Once upon a time, when the All Blacks won every test as of right, we still didn't win the World Cup. So presumably, when we won everything, we must have felt in a good place. Also, how is it that Robertson is banned from going elsewhere? Not good enough to coach us, but too dangerous to ply his trade offshore? Apart from paying him to not work… I wouldn't have taken that deal. I also can't quite work out how much of this is player driven — and of that player feedback, how much is personal versus professional. How much responsibility does a player have for what happens on the field, as opposed to the coach? Back to the NFL — a bloke called Vrabel was sacked from Tennessee because they weren't winning. After he left, they still aren't winning. But the team he went to, New England, were hopeless until this year… they might be in the Super Bowl. So was that him? Luck? Or other factors? Someone always seems to have to pay the price whenever someone decides things aren't right. Which is the other weird bit: the All Blacks' winning record, in an increasingly competitive world, wasn't that bad. So why the panic? Loyalty, consistency, and longevity are all traits of value. But you have to recognise them. If you don't, you tend to make mistakes by going around sacking people with no real, obvious next step in place.

The rugby season might be over, but plenty of questions still remain over the state of the All Blacks coaching staff. The team had a year of ups and downs - suffering a number of disappointing losses to the likes of England, South Africa and Argentina. Scott Robertson's position as head coach is under the microscope ahead of next month's official team review. Sports reporter Jamie Wall spoke to Lisa Owen.

Shaughan McGuigan and Craig G Telfer put their heads together to talk about the very best action from the Scottish lower leagues over the last seven days. The pair talk about Dougie Imrie's appointment as Raith Rovers manager, Partick Thistle's back-to-back victories, Montrose's first win in two months, and an entertaining draw between East Kilbride and Edinburgh City. 0:00 Start 08:00 Dougie Imrie joins Raith Rovers 22:10 Partick Thistle 1-0 Dunfermline Athletic 35:15 Partick Thistle 2-1 St Johnstone 48:40 Montrose 2-1 East Fife 01:01:45 East Kilbride 1-1 Edinburgh City Learn more about your ad choices.

Chris is with Matt Dawson and Paul Grayson to bring you reaction to England's first victory over the All Blacks at home in 13 years. We chat to the superb George Ford who dropped two goals and scored a crucial penalty to help extend their winning run to 10 matches. Is he playing the best rugby of his career? We also hear from Scott Robertson after their Grand Slam hopes were ended and ask where it went wrong for New Zealand. And after only a ninth victory over the All Blacks in 120 years, is this the best win of the Steve Borthwick era?

Are England capable of beating the All Blacks for the first time since 2019? And is this side ready to take a big scalp? Ashy and Chris head to the England team hotel and chat to Steve Borthwick about his selection which sees George Ford return at fly-half and Fin Smith drop out of the 23-man squad. They also catch up with Freddie Steward who gives a fascinating insight into dealing with the high ball under the new laws and he gives us a detailed account of how he dislocated his finger against Australia. Chris has also been to see the New Zealand head coach Scott Robertson who wants to deliver a Grand Slam this autumn.
