England will look to do what no team has done in 30 years in tonight's second test against the All Blacks... beat New Zealand at Eden Park.   The hosts' last defeat at the Garden of Eden was in 1994 against France, since then going unbeaten in 48 games at the venue.   All Black Hooker Asafo Aumua caught up with Newstalk ZB Rugby Commentator Elliott Smith to preview the clash.    LISTEN ABOVE   See...

Tonight's test match has the potential to be catastrophic for coach Scott Robertson. For the players too if they lose, but more so for the brand-new coach.   The TAB say the All Blacks should overcome the English threat with relative ease, $1.25 plays $3.70, these betting bros are a relevant barometer in these spaces, but sport is sport, it has a nasty habit of upsetting the apple cart which is th...

Tonight's test match, the opening salvo in Scott Robertsons attack on world rugby, has so many intriguing threads that it’s almost impossible to determine the most significant aspect of the most keenly anticipated home game of recent times.   But regardless of a plethora of talking points, I suppose it all boils down to one thing.   It’s not discipline, but that is of the utmost importance. The ca...

It’s probably just me, but there’s a perverse sense of comfort around the tail-spinning Warriors. Their accelerated plummet back to earth is a warm embrace from the past.   Don’t get me wrong, the halcyon days of 2023 will always serve as a beacon of hope for fans of the club who have endured like no other over the last quarter of a century, but now we are back in our regular rhythm.   There will...

The table topping Tactix believe they've combated the possibility of fatigue being a factor in this afternoon's ANZ Premiership clash with the Southern Steel in Invercargill.   They're coming off a six-day turn-around from their extra time triumph over the Pulse.   Coach Marianne Delaney-Hoshek says they gave her players the beginning of the week off.   D'Arcy caught up with midcourter Kimiora Poi...

Whoda thunk it? The Warriors play this afternoon, and they play second fiddle to rugby union.    Granted, it’s an NRL regular season game versus a super rugby final, but for the Wahs to be overshadowed by the Blues is quite something right?    Is it a case of the media losing interest in a team that appears to be losing touch with the NRLs top 8 after a sloppy effort versus the Storm? That the gam...

The Blues are holding tightly to the pain of their 2022 final defeat to the Crusaders at Eden Park as they prepare to make another run for the Super Rugby title.   The sold-out decider against the Chiefs could mark their first fully fledged championship since 2003.   Blues lock Sam Darry joined D'Arcy Waldegrave to preview what’s set to be an intense final.   LISTEN ABOVE   See omnystudio.com/list...
