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.

No Six Nations. No international drama. Just pure, unfiltered Super Rugby… and chaos.With Europe taking the week off, all eyes turned south — and unfortunately for us (and especially for Mark), Australia decided to wake up and choose violence. The Blues found yet another soul-crushing way to lose, going down in the 81st minute in overtime. Yes, the 81st. Yes, Mark is still processing. No, he is not okay.The Crusaders finally remembered how to win, knocking off the Chiefs after the Waikato boys absolutely flew out of the blocks. The Drua defended the fortress in Lautoka, toppling a fancied Hurricanes side and proving that Fiji remains one of the most terrifying away trips in world rugby.With no major international storylines to anchor us, things got loose. There's fear. There's frustration. There's a generous serving of absolute nonsense. And somehow, we still talk rugby.Strap in. Grab a beer. And enjoy the spiral.

The 2026 Major League Rugby season is less than a month away, the countdown to the upcoming fantasy MLR season has begun! And what better way to kickoff the month of March then to bring on a familiar name that makes his return to the fantasy rugby scene...MLR Stats and NA Rugby DB's James Deeley joins the show to chat about his outlook of the upcoming year, talks his favorite signings and announces he's back for some fantasy fun. Ryan and Matt also discuss the latest roster moves and continue to warm up their MLR betting chops in the TFR Betting Challenge with Six Nations and Super Rugby.

Welcome back to the Pick and Go podcast. Money, Money, Money! Who had a big win with their tip last week and is feeling flush with dosh? Spoiler alert it might be the guy in the coat made of dollar bills. We reflect on the games last week and the big surprises. The Crusaders seemed to have silenced the doubters and put their season back on track with a comeback win over the Chiefs. NZ Teams have not had the greatest start against non-NZ based teams so how will the season play out, are Australia a major threat this season or merely a flash in the pan. We are into Round 2 of our Super Rugby draft and there are some questionable picks this week as the panel attempt to secure the best players they can. Of course, we'll be looking ahead to another exciting weekend of Super Rugby Pacific. Tune in every Tuesday during the rugby season for new episodes!

Pita Ahki is living proof that careers aren't always built in a straight line.From struggling for opportunities in New Zealand and watching contracts dry up, to being told by Toulouse doctors that he had a “bad knee” and might not even get signed — Ahki's journey could have gone very differently. Instead, he backed himself, took the gamble, and went on to become a 5x Top 14 champion and 2x Champions Cup winner in one of the toughest competitions in world rugby.In this episode of What a Lad, Pita opens up about the tough years at the Blues and Hurricanes, asking Super Rugby teams for any opportunity just to stay in the system, nearly walking away from the game after failing a medical in France, and the sliding doors moment that changed everything.In this episode, we cover…- Growing up in Auckland and the Kelston Boys brotherhood- Making NZ U20s and starting NPC straight out of school- The struggles of injury battles while trying to crack it- Asking Super Rugby teams for wider training — and getting nothing- Taking a six-month deal at Connacht just to stay alive in the game- Flying to Toulouse, signing a pre-contract, and being told he had a “bad knee”- Nearly walking away from rugby - Starting a Top 14 final and chasing that feeling year after year- Winning 5 Top 14 titles and 2 Champions Cups- Life in France, the culture, and playing with Antoine Dupont- Representing Tonga at a Rugby World Cup- Why he returned to the blues- And of course his memory of the classic Pita Pit prank!This episode is a deep dive into resilience, growth, sacrifice, and what it really takes to turn rejection into legacy. It's honest, reflective, and full of perspective from a man who's seen both sides of the game. Pita is a champion man, such a legend and it's awesome seeing him back out there in Super Rugby!

It was a weekend of our favourite sporting delicacy: beautiful, chaotic upsets and we are absolutely feasting. Ireland didn't just beat England… they systematically dismantled them, with Jamison Gibson-Park running the show like a man who had the English defence on puppet strings. Every counter looked dangerous, every breakdown felt Irish, and England had absolutely no answers. Down south, the rugby gods delivered something even more outrageous: the Crusaders didn't just lose — they got hammered. The Brumbies dropped a half-century on them in Christchurch for their first win there in 26 years. Nobody saw it coming, everybody enjoyed it (well… almost everybody). Wales, after weeks of looking like rugby's saddest soap opera, finally resembled a functioning rugby side again. They still went down to a street-tough, slightly fortunate Scotland — but at least this time there were signs of life and something to actually laugh with instead of at. We also get stuck into France continuing to look like the team to beat, Italy continuing to be awkwardly competitive, and a Super Rugby round that delivered chaos, entertainment, and confirmation that the Blues still look shaky even when they scrape past the Force. Upsets, chaos, schadenfreude, and a healthy dose of nonsense. Grab a beer and enjoy.

Ant is back from faraway lands with a scouting report from Georgia (spoiler: they don't know much about SA rugby… except that we're good), and the boys dive into a proper Six Nations mid-tournament temperature check. We unpack three weeks of Six Nations chaos: France looking like the only adults in the room, Ireland nearly getting Italy'd in Dublin, Scotland doing Scotland things (again), and England discovering that a 12-game streak doesn't stop you getting put to the sword. Along the way we argue about drifting passes, TMOs who simply can't help themselves, and whether gold boots are basically a cursed captaincy announcement. Then it's a quick whip around the globe: SA's new U20/U23 Currie Cup bridge (and the return of curtain-raiser nostalgia), early Super Rugby weirdness (Brumbies statement win, Crusaders in the mud, and the usual “it's early” cop-outs), URC's return, and Varsity Cup's latest mad-scientist scoring rule. Also the Lions did the double over the Sharks! Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show.

Welcome back to the Pick and Go podcast.There were some controversial moments in the games at the weekend and the big one was at the Chiefs. Is this another week where the powers that be will be admitting they got it wrong, or was this just smart play?A few weeks ago we submitted new rules and the fans seemed to love Paul's suggestion of an NFL style draft to start the Super Rugby season and so we ask the panel to do their own draft of current players.We look ahead at the big clashes this weekend and with the Crusaders 0-2 for the start of the season will they be able to turn things around agains the 2-0 Chiefs.All this and so much more on another action packed episode of the Pick and Go.Tune in every Tuesday during the rugby season for new episodes!

Brad Thorn is one of the most unique champions New Zealand sport has ever produced.A dual-code legend, Brad achieved what almost no one has - winning NRL premierships, World Cups, Super Rugby titles, and earning the right to wear the All Blacks jersey at the highest level.But behind the trophies is an obsession with discipline, standards, and doing the work that others won't. In this conversation, Brad reflects on the mindset that shaped his career - the moments that hardened him, the sacrifices required to chase the black jersey, and why he believes “champions do extra.”We talk about walking away from millions to start again, the lessons he learned from the toughest environments in sport, and what it really takes to become a master of your craft.
