Together, they review round 11 of the NRL with a focus on the Warriors winning yet again! Who woulda thunk it.

DSPN host Martin Devlin is joined by longtime Sky Sport rugby commentator Tony Johnson, to review round 14 of Super Rugby Pacific for 2025. The pair focus on Moana Pasifika's historic 27-21 win over the Blues, and the massive performance from Ardie Savea, who seems to be in the form of his life. Has there ever been a better showing from an individual in a Super Rugby game? Is Savea a lock for the All Blacks number seven jumper? And is the ABs captaincy debate reigniting? Marty and Tony also chat about other Moana Pasifika players who stood out on Saturday, and the electric atmosphere on Auckland's North Shore. They cover off the Brumbies beating the Reds to go top of the table, the Crusaders' dominant win over the Waratahs, and the Highlanders' dire form of late. They have a bit of time for women's rugby as well - recapping the Black Ferns' draw with Canada - and missed referee calls.
