In the latest edition of Day In The Life, All Blacks, Blues and Counties Manukau loose forward Dalton Papali’i joins John Day for a chat that mixes rugby with real life. Papali'i is settling into fatherhood while still throwing himself into the grind of the NPC. Between nappy duty, honest chats with All Blacks coaches Scott Robertson and Jason Ryan, and bouncing between six and seven, Papali’i manages to keep things grounded. He talks about the energy of playing provincial footy, the quirks of NPC crowds, and why he’s not stressing about missing the Rugby Championship.

All throughout the week, DSPN's Martin Devlin welcomed on a number of rugby broadcasters and analysts to preview the Rugby Championship kicking off. Tony Johnson, Frankie Deges, Greg Martin, Nigel Yalden, and so many more tell us who they think will win and why. Is it as simple as one of New Zealand or South Africa winning? Can Argentina and Australia do some damage?

In a lively pre-Rugby Championship chat, former Wallaby Greg Martin joins Martin Devlin on the DSPN, from his “man cave” on Moreton Island, fresh from a failed mission to hand giant wooden spoons to losing NRL coaches on the Gold Coast. Between fishing tales and beer jokes, Marto weighs in on South Africa’s dominance, Australia’s slim chances, and the Springboks’ frightening bench strength. He questions the Wallabies’ reliance on ageing playmakers and - changing tact to the NRL - doubts the Brisbane Broncos’ finals run.

Together they dissect the ABs team named and the main talking points - including Kirifi at seven and Ardie Savea at eight, and Finlay Christie named on the bench.

In a special edition of the DSPN, Martin Devlin is joined by two good mates - Brett McKay and Harry Jones, hosts of The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast. The trio endeavour on a spirited, and slightly cheeky, Rugby Championship preview, with the first two matches on this weekend. They talk all sorts including the mad-scientist tinkering of Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus, South Africa's depth and whether it makes them unbeatable (spoiler: it doesn’t), and Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt’s tactical mind games. There’s banter about underdog claims, Australia's chances, and the curious art of lifting players in open play. While South Africa might be favourites, Brett and Harry reckon surprises are on the cards - especially at Ellis Park or Eden Park.
