On today's podcast, It's Only Sport host Martin Devlin steadies himself, lifts his bat and smacks a slew of sports topics over the rope for six, including the Black Caps vs West Indies at the Twenty20 cricket World Cup and the Super Rugby Pacific semifinals coming up this weekend.

First off - as always - Devlin delivers a sermon, this time on two new assistant coaches being added to the All Blacks ahead of the test season. That makes it nine people in total that are employed by New Zealand Rugby and the All Blacks with the term 'coach' in their job title, with Scott Robertson of course being the head coach. But is nine a few too many voices to be ringing the players' ears? Does such a massive number of coaches in camp actually make the team better?

Then, Devlin welcomes a handful of guests onto the show including Blues assistant coach Greg Tito ahead of his side's Super Rugby semi at home to the Brumbies, Super Rugby Pacific board chair Kevin Malloy explaining his role, Warriors utility Dylan Walker previewing their NRL match at home to the Melbourne Storm, Greg Martin talking married life and both rugby codes, and Ron Barr looking back on the life and legacy of NBA icon Jerry West who passed away on Thursday.

All that and much more!
