The Kiwis are looking to bounce back from their loss to the Kangaroos. 

They’re taking on Tonga this evening at Mt Smart Stadium in the Pacific Championship. 

Piney catches up with their assistant coach Steve Price to chat about how they responded to their last loss. 

He said that they’ve built up their intensity over the week, getting some volume into the team. 

“We got a couple days off too, so, you know, the tank will be filled up and we’ll be ready to throw down hard again.”

The All Blacks aren’t likely to receive a warm welcome at Twickenham. 

After falling to the boys in black earlier this year, the English will be aiming to cut them off at the knees to claim the win for themselves. 

Piney caught up with former English midfielder Will Greenwood for a chat about the team’s chances in their third clash of the year.  

Greenwood says that for England to be considered a world class team, they’ll have to win three out of four matches at home. 

“We’ve got to turn over one of you or South Africa, and on form, I think we have to identify a victory over New Zealand as a very realistic, not overly ambitious target.”

The Wellington Phoenix are playing host to Auckland FC tonight. 

The teams are facing off in the A-Leagues first Kiwi derby in what’s expected to be a tough match. 

Piney caught up with Phoenix defender Isaac Hughes ahead of the big game. 

“I think everyone knows it's a big game. I think there's no point pretending that it's not.” 

“When you get out there onto the pitch, I think as long as everyone's focused on their jobs like, I see no reason why it will impact us.”
