Dave Rennie's All Blacks era begins, and we're diving straight into the deep end.In this episode of The Bonus Point (recorded live at Three Weavers Brewing Company in Inglewood CA), Tj is joined by Alfonso Horomia (Pig Athletic - Rugby Heads Podcast) to break down one of the biggest coaching storylines in New Zealand rugby: Dave Rennie replacing Scott “Razor” Robertson as All Blacks head coach. We unpack how Robertson's tenure unraveled, what Rennie's Māori and Cook Islands background and coaching journey (Chiefs, Wallabies, Glasgow, Kobe) bring back to the black jersey, and why current and former players are so bullish on his ability to rebuild culture, clarity and edge. We also look ahead to the brutal “Rugby's Greatest Rivalry” tour of South Africa and ask what a long, old-school tour against the Springboks could do for this new-look All Blacks side.In the second half, we shift into Super Rugby Pacific mode. After four rounds, we talk through who's actually setting the pace: the Brumbies' consistency, the Chiefs' attacking fireworks, the Hurricanes' statement win, and what Beauden Barrett's return means for the Blues. We pick out early-season standouts, surprise performers, and a few red flags for the traditional powerhouses.To finish, we hit our Bonus Point segment with some fast-paced, rugby-themed questions and predictions to tie everything together—Rennie, the Boks tour, and the Super Rugby race.

Most leaders know how to ramp up for performance. Far fewer know how to switch off. Operating at full speed all day without deliberately down-regulating keeps the brain and body in a prolonged stress state - impairing decision-making, recovery and next-day performance.Andrew May (Mental Skills Coach to the Wallabies) explains why the ability to shift gears is a critical leadership skill, particularly for those operating under constant cognitive load.He also shares a simple breathing technique that can lower your heart rate and begin calming the nervous system in under 30 seconds.Want to hear to the full episode?

Dave Rennie is the new coach of the All Blacks. The former Chiefs and Wallabies mentor will succeed Scott Razor Robertson, and take charge through until the end of the 2027 World Cup. But, does he have what it takes to bring about a much-needed reset for our national side?

David Rennie has been named the new All Blacks coach, beating out Jamie Joseph for what many call the most pressured job in world rugby. The former Chiefs and Wallabies coach will lead the national team through to the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia Rennie also becomes the first All Blacks coach with Pasifika heritage. For reaction veteran sports journalist and broadcaster Phil Gifford chats to Jesse.

The man appointed today as the coach to take the All Blacks to next year's Rugby World Cup is Dave Rennie. And he's got his work cut out for him. He can't start fulltime with the All Blacks until June - he has to finish his contract in Japan first. That wraps up in May, which means there's a very tight turnaround before the first test against the French in early July. Then he's got the Italians, then the Irish, and then the South Africans. Baptism of fire, much? And in just over 18 months, he'll be heading into the Rugby World Cup. Lifting that trophy is going to be a challenge but it's not impossible. Rassie Erasmus famously took over in 2018 and won the Rugby World Cup with the Springboks the next year. And you could argue the Springboks back then were more of a hot mess than the All Blacks are now, ahead of Rennie taking over. It's also worth remembering that coaching at international level isn't new ground for Rennie. He was the Wallabies' coach before he was dumped for the disaster that was Eddie Jones. But if you look at his record with that squad, it's not exactly inspiring. He had a 38 percent win rate, which makes Razor's 74 percent win rate look positively outstanding. But if you're being generous, you'd have to say Rennie had the odds stacked against him with the Wallabies -COVID disruptions, too many tests against the All Blacks, injuries, player unavailability. He still managed to beat South Africa twice, which is no small feat. And neither of his successors - Eddie Jones nor Joe Schmidt - have done much better. Rennie's appointment also brings a couple of firsts. The headline one is that he's the first All Blacks coach of Pasifika descent. But the first I'm enjoying today is this: while it's not unusual for ex-All Blacks coaches to take over the Wallabies, this is the first time the All Blacks have been taken over by a former Wallabies coach.

There's been plenty of news coming out of the rugby world this week - with several rule changes announced for the upcoming Super Rugby Pacific season, all intended to help speed the game up and keep the ball in play for longer. The Rugby World Cup draw was also released yesterday and fans were stunned to learn a clash between the All Blacks and the Wallabies will not be opening the tournament. D'Arcy was joined by Phil Waugh, the CEO of Rugby Australia, to discuss. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A chance to open next year's Rugby World Cup with a blockbuster Wallabies-All Blacks clash has been passed by. Organisers have opted to kick-off the tournament with Australia taking on Hong Kong on October 1, with the All Blacks facing Chile the following day. The move is being labelled as a play to keep interest levels “alive”. International Rugby Players' Association CEO Omar Hassanein told Mike Hosking getting a mostly guaranteed win in the first match is important, and while one would like to hope Australia could beat the All Blacks, form over the last decades indicates they may struggle. He says the opening match in Peth is likely to sell out regardless of opposition, so it was a tactical ploy to ensure Australia stays in the tournament and momentum continues.

Scott Robertson's departure from the All Blacks has come as a huge shock to the rugby world. He's been axed halfway into his four-year contract, following feedback in the end of season review, understood to be scathing towards Robertson and his coaching staff. Our Australian Correspondent Adam Peacock gauges the reaction across the Tasman, and offers his thoughts on whether there's anyone in particular the All Blacks may be targeting among the Wallabies coaching ranks. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former All Black and current Sky Sport pundit Jeff Wilson believes Jamie Joseph is the obvious candidate with the credentials to lead the team towards the Rugby World Cup. The search for a new All Blacks coach is underway after Scott Roberson was sensationally relieved of his duties two years into a four-year contract, after a scathing review found multiple frailties within the team and reports of player unrest. Joseph is set to coach the Highlanders in the upcoming Super Rugby Pacific season, with their pre-season game scheduled for January 30, and if he does get the role, it is unclear how it would impact his duties with the Dunedin-based franchise. There is something similar over in Australia with Les Kiss to coach the Reds before replacing Joe Schmidt as Wallabies coach, but with the All Blacks set to tour South Africa this year, NZR might want Joseph earlier to ensure the team is best prepared. Several other names have been suggested including Dave Rennie and Robbie Deans, while some have suggested they bring back Sir Steve Hansen. Speaking on Newstalk ZB's Weekend Sport, Wilson feels Joseph is the perfect candidate, given his track record at club, leading the Highlanders to Super Rugby glory in 2015, along with his time internationally with Japan and more recently the All Blacks XV. “There are very few candidates who are immediately available and qualified to take the job,” Wilson said. “Jamie's record as an international coach, his experience, and his understanding of New Zealand Rugby and the international game really stand out. Sky rugby commentator and former All Black Jeff Wilson. “The key for me is whether he can put together the team he wants, the coaches he believes in, and that may include some of the current coaches. “Joe Schmidt is committed to Australia until the middle of the year, and other coaches around the world are tied up contractually. “For me, the logical choice is Jamie Joseph. He went head‑to‑head with Scott Robertson last time and, to my understanding, came close. Jamie Joseph is the obvious man.” As things stand, Robertson's assistants including Scott Hansen, Jason Ryan and Tamiti Ellison remain employed, however there is a chance the incoming coach will want his own coaching staff, meaning all their futures are up in the air. If Joseph is to get the job, he would likely want Tony Brown to be his right-hand man, although that will be challenging with the former All Blacks playmaker currently working as an assistant with the Springboks as their attack coach. While Wilson feels the decision to axe Robertson was harsh, he says the right call was ultimately made after a messy two years at the helm. That includes seeing two assistants depart including Leon MacDonald and Jason Holland, while several changes have happened behind the scenes including Mark Robinson stepping down from his role as NZR chief executive. “He deserves a lot of credit, because there were plenty of challenges along the way, but over the last couple of years this team never really gained any momentum,” Wilson said. “There were performances that raised doubts about the direction the team was heading, and there was certainly uncertainty within the group. They looked unsettled and didn't play with consistent confidence, so unfortunately a lot of that responsibility falls on the head coach. “He's not a bad rugby coach, it just hasn't worked with this group of people and this team of players, and it was time to look forward with somebody else.” Ben Francis is an Auckland-based reporter for the New Zealand Herald who covers breaking sports news.

Step back into one of New Zealand’s most thrilling sporting moments with the latest episode of Kärcher’s “Blast from the Past.” ACC Head G Lane, Kieran Read, and Dylan Cleaver transport listeners to Eden Park on October 16, 2011, the night the All Blacks faced off against Australia in a Rugby World Cup Semi-Final that captured the nation’s imagination. This wasn’t just another game; it was a clash loaded with history, anxiety, and the hope of ending a 24-year World Cup drought. The Wallabies arrived as formidable opponents, having recently beaten the All Blacks and claimed the Tri-Nations title. New Zealanders feared this Australian side more than any other, and the pressure was immense. The All Blacks, missing key players like Dan Carter and relying on the young Aaron Cruden at First-Five, had to dig deep. The tension was palpable, both on the field and among the 60,000 fans packed into the stadium.From the opening whistle, the match delivered drama and excitement. The crowd’s reaction to Quade Cooper set the tone, and early All Blacks dominance was highlighted by Israel Dagg’s dazzling run and Ma’a Nonu’s unforgettable try. Tactical battles played out across the pitch, with New Zealand successfully neutralising Australian threats like David Pocock. Off-field stories and moments of levity added to the atmosphere, but the focus remained on the relentless pursuit of victory. The win in this semifinal was more than just a step toward the Final; it was a cathartic release for New Zealand rugby, breaking the “chokers” label and transforming the team’s mindset. The All Blacks’ performance showcased resilience, skill, and composure under pressure, setting the stage for future triumphs and inspiring a new generation of fans...Blast From The Past is brought to you by the legends at Kärcher!
