Jamie Wall: All Blacks Selections for Third France Test, Scott Robertson Building Depth, & Springboks Innovation

Philasande Sixaba - sports broadcaster for SuperSport in South Africa - joins Martin Devlin on the DSPN, to talk all things Springbok rugby after their two Italian tests, and with the Rugby Championship fast-approaching. The pair talk South African rugby's bold innovations, growing depth, and Boks assistant Tony Brown’s attacking influence. Sixaba praises the “mad genius” Rassie Erasmus for adding Brown to the coaching setup, calling it a masterstroke that has transformed South Africa’s fluidity on attack. They dissect the legality of unconventional plays like the deliberate short kickoff and in-play lineout lifting, which Sixaba defends as within the rules... for now. With combinations being tested and a player pool nearing 50-strong, Sixaba believes the Springboks are building perfectly ahead of two tests in New Zealand this year, and the next World Cup just two years away.

Brilliant All Blacks Annihilate France in Wellington| DSPN Full Time Show"

Former All Black, broadcasting icon, and a lover of all things RUGBY! Murray Mexted is back on the DSPN chatting with Martin Devlin, ahead of this weekend's second test against France in Wellington. The pair dive straight into it, sharing memories of Athletic Park and talking issues around refereeing and the TMO at international level. Mex also dissects the team named for the second clash - he reckons the All Blacks backline is the best he's seen in years, and loves that Billy Proctor has been retained despite the centre's defensive error in the first test. He doesn't quite agree with Christian Lio-Willie's selection, but is stoked Tupou Vaa'i is again picked at blindside flanker. Importantly, Mex and Marty want to see more maniacal passion for the All Blacks, given how significant the team is in New Zealand culture.
