On Sports Fix with D'Arcy Waldegrave and Jason Pine for 26th March 2026, last night, the 2026 NPC draw was released and one of the team's schedules raised some eyebrows. After playing all of their home matches in 2025 at Porirua Park, the Wellington Lions will be returning to the 34,500 capacity Hnry Stadium for the upcoming season. This is despite the crowd sizes dwindling leaving a sea of yellow seats visible on the broadcast. Wellington Rugby CEO Tony Giles joined D'Arcy to discuss the decision. 

D'Arcy shares his thoughts on Israel Adesanya returning to the UFC octagon this weekend against Joe Pyfer.

And D'Arcy and Piney reflect on the 5 match T20I series between both the Black Caps and the White Ferns against South Africa and discuss the All Whites ahead of their first match of the FIFA series against Finland tomorrow night.
