Will the All Blacks redeem themselves after last week’s loss?

This Saturday they’ll be facing Argentina in a rematch at Eden Park, a week on from losing to 30-38 in Wellington.

Scott Robertson has made some major changes to the Kiwi side, including the return of former captain Sam Cane.

Newstalk ZB Rugby Commentator Elliott Smith told Ryan Bridge the All Blacks need to bounce back, which they traditionally do when they lose to Argentina. 

He said that it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to happen tomorrow night, but you would hope there’s some form of response from the All Blacks after last week.

Smith said that last week seems to be a bit of a reality check for Robertson.

501s will be the hot button topic in Christopher Luxon's meeting in Canberra today with the Australian Prime Minister.

Anthony Albanese's government has pulled a recent u-turn on the common-sense approach he'd agreed to with former Prime Minister Jacinda Arden in 2022. 

Australia is no longer considering a person's ties to the country before deporting them, making the safety of Australians the top priority.

Geopolitical analyst Geoffrey Miller told Ryan Bridge Luxon's comments in Sydney yesterday hinted he wasn't expecting to make much headway. 

He says Luxon had said they would agree to disagree on the issue - but he'd continue to voice New Zealand's displeasure.

Kim Dotcom could have his fate sealed by early next year. 

The tech mogul may soon find himself on trial in the US after Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith confirmed he'd signed his extradition. 

Former Auckland University Professor of Law Bill Hodge told Ryan Bridge Dotcom's penultimate step is a judicial review, but he can't precisely predict how long this would take. 

He says if it's a typical judicial review, it could ideally be done within six months, and wonders if the court will expedite it.

Hodge says his Kiwi family may be his strongest defence.
