Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Joey Wheeler: Rugby commentator chats which players can use Super Rugby finals to demand All Blacks selection
Q: Does anybody leap out at you given the injury list and the weekend's games?
Yes, several players step forward, especially those who can show leadership, high work rate, and strong set-piece ability, with particular attention on those who can adapt to selection gaps caused by injuries.
Jacob Duffy: Black Cap on the team's IPL victory
Q: What was the final like for you and how did the team perform in the chase?
The team toughened through the match, and even though I went for some runs, we still posted a strong total and chased it down efficiently, showing the depth of the squad and the execution under pressure.
Ricki Herbert: former All White on the team losing to Haiti in first World Cup warm-up match
Q: What did you see in the game that surprised you the most?
Herbert highlighted the contrast between the solid first half, where the team competed well and created chances, and the messy second half after halftime substitutions, which undermined structure and continuity.
Lima Sopoaga: former All Black on Tony Brown taking up All Blacks coaching role in 2028
Q: Oh, so how would a Dave Rennie-Tony Brown partnership go?
Lima suggests that Rennie and Brown would form a highly potent duo, combining Rennie's people skills with Brown's attacking coaching strength, and that they could transform performance on tour.
Lima Sopoaga: former All Black on Tony Brown taking up All Blacks coaching role in 2028

Lima outlines a two-horse race between Emac and Ruben Love for the five-8 role, with Bowden Barrett unavailable due to injury, and notes Daniel McKenzie's experience as a consideration; the discussion reflects ongoing selection considerations.
