- 'Lions Beat Wallabies Fair & Square - Why That WASN'T a Penalty' | Marty's Sermon & Tight 5
Martin Devlin kicks the week off on the DSPN delivering a sermon on the Wallabies-British & Irish Lions second test, which was won by the visitors 29-26 in Melbourne. It was an exciting match that also comes with a bit of controversy - namely the 80th-minute series-clinching try by Lions fullback Hugo Keenan. Should the Wallabies have gotten a penalty for an illegal cleanout? Marty delves right in...
Then, he and young producer Lachlan Waugh present the Tight 5, where they dissect and debate five separate sporting topics. Today the likes of the Lions win over Australia, the Warriors and Broncos' surprise losses in the NRL, and the Formula One Belgian Grand Prix are discussed.Click here for the DSPN website

Hansen also vents on World Rugby's messy rulebook and slow-moving global calendar, pushing for an independent group to simplify the game.

28 min - All Blacks vs France - Mex Praises 'Smart' NZ Selectors & Backline, Defends Quality of French Rugby
Martin Devlin and Murray Mexted go deep on the All Blacks’ recent test series win over France on the DSPN, with Mex firing up over “naive” analysis of the French side in the NZ media. He praises the ABs selectors for finally getting it right - highlighting the quality of Beauden and Jordie Barrett, the smart reshuffle of Tupou Vaa’i to blindside, and the physical edge brought by Fabian Holland. Mexted backs the coaching trio of Scott Robertson, Jason Ryan and Scott Hansen, calling them “savvy and cunning", and says the team’s trending the right way... but the number eight jersey remains up for grabs. Argentina away looms large, and Mexted reckons it’ll be the biggest test yet for this evolving All Blacks side.

58 min - All Blacks vs France - What Did We Learn? Tony Johnson Unpacks NZ's 3-0 Test Series Win
Longtime Sky Sport rugby commentator Tony Johnson joins Martin Devlin on the DSPN, to beak down the All Blacks' 29-19 win over France in the third and final test in Hamilton, and look at the 3-0 series win for New Zealand as a whole. TJ gives coach Scott Robertson and his players a B grade, praising the rise of lock Fabian Holland and the return of utility back Jordie Barret. But, the pair flag depth concerns at halfback, hooker, and midfield. Tony is optimistic but warns fans not to get carried away - France weren’t at full strength, and bigger tests are coming. The South Africans? Still the gold standard, and another good win for them on the weekend. The British and Irish Lions? Bullies against the Wallabies, and still with another gear or two in them. TJ and Marty wrap up talking about the under 20 final between South Africa and New Zealand, which the former won 23-15.
