Welcome to another episode of the DSPN where host Marty Devlin catches up with former All Black and current rugby commentator Justin Marshall, as they gear up for the start of Super Rugby Pacific and the Six Nations. Preseason for the Super comp begins this weekend, with one of the highlight clashes being the Crusaders taking on the Blues in the small town of Kirwee. Marty and Justin talk about that, as well as the Six Nations and the favourites for that competition - is Scotland a legitimate contender? Could Wales act as a giant killer? Plus, hear about the innovations in rugby rules, the future of sevens, and emerging talents to watch out for in Super Rugby, who could crack the All Blacks in the near future.
