DSPN - RUGBY

All Blacks legend Murray Mexted joins Martin Devlin on the DSPN, talking a whole lot of rugby with the Super Rugby Pacific finals fast-approaching. Marty and Mex list their top contenders, while referencing incredible recent results such as the Chiefs beating the Crusaders on the road, and the Hurricanes upsetting the Waikato-based franchise in the capital. Are the Blues flying under the radar? Mex reckons so. The ex All Blacks loosie also chats about the upcoming French tour of New Zealand and the threat Les Bleus will pose, his experiences playing in France, New Zealand Rugby's recent $19.5 million financial loss, and the need to prioritise grassroots rugby.
