On today's podcast, It's Only Sport host Martin Devlin continues to apply a rugby focus to his show, after the test season began for most of the southern hemisphere nations over the weekend. This time around, it's the South Africa-Ireland clash in Pretoria - won 27-20 by the Springboks - that is front of mind, with a little bit of All Blacks chatter thrown in here and there.

First off, Devlin delivers a sermon on the missed penalty in the Warriors' 13-12 golden point loss to the Bulldogs, that played a key role in the Mount Smart club's defeat. NRL head of football elite competitions Graham Annesley admitted on Monday that a hit by Jaeman Salmon on Te Maire Martin was in fact late and should have been penalised, which would have handed the Warriors a chance to kick a goal that would have broken a tie late in the game. Devlin feels Annesley's conclusion that the missed call was "unacceptable" is in itself UNACCEPTABLE.

Then, SuperSport broadcaster Philasande Sixaba offers his perspective on the Springboks' win over Ireland, The Warriorholic Zane Inglis vents his frustration at the NRL's bunker and Annesley's excuses, Mark 'Watto' Watson unloads on the All Blacks' performance against England on the ATM podcast, and former Kiwi tennis pro Alistair Hunt - in light of Lulu Sun's success at Wimbledon - reveals what life is like for a tennis player abroad.

Plus, Devlin and producer Lachlan Waugh debate topics aplenty - such as what expectations for the All Blacks should be, and predictions for the quarter-finals at the Euros - on the Tight 5. All that and much more!
