The Dave Rennie era is upon the All Blacks, and the new head coach is determined to make some tactical shifts for the All Blacks ahead of their upcoming matches.

The pressure's on for Rennie to make a difference, with 122 days to go until his first test against France in Christchurch.

Former All Black and Sky Sport commentator, Jeff Wilson, says Rennie's contract lasts until the end of the men's Rugby World Cup in November 2027, which isn't long.

"This is, as Dave Rennie himself said, a bit of a sprint. He obviously fitted the brief that they were looking for and I think he'll go in there and he'll be aggressive and try and make quick changes."

One of Australia's biggest radio shows has come to an explosive end after an infamous on-air spat.

Kyle Sandilands and Jacqueline ‘Jackie O’ Henderson will no longer present the KIIS FM breakfast program together after Sandilands berated Henderson during a live broadcast last week. 

TV producer and host of The Beefing podcast, Alexandria Funnell, is questioning why this particular incident ended the show.

"The two are known for the biggest stunts in Australian radio history, aren't they? So this is a pretty clever one if it is, it's getting a lot of coverage, they're giving a lot of information about things that are going on behind the scenes."

Top-tier experience and a systematic approach to rugby have won Dave Rennie the All Blacks' head coach job.

After nine years offshore, the former Chiefs mentor will return home - appointed Scott Robertson's successor.

New Zealand Rugby chair David Kirk has outlined what ultimately gave Rennie the edge.

"The game is very global at the moment, innovation's coming from lots of different parts of the world, and I think we've got, frankly, plenty to learn from the rest of the world. So he can bring that back to us."
