DSPN host Martin Devlin welcomes back New Zealand rugby icon and former broadcaster Murray Mexted, as they attack this weekend's Super Rugby Pacific final between the crusaders and Chiefs in Christchurch. Mex is tipping the Chiefs to win, citing their superior firepower, highlighted by Shaun Stevenson, Emoni Narawa, and Damian McKenzie. While the Crusaders showed classic grit against the Blues, Mex questions their attacking threats beyond Will Jordan. He believes modern rugby is attack-driven, and the Chiefs are more likely to rack up points. The pair also touch on Scott Barrett likely being named All Blacks captain, praising his leadership and close bond with coach Scott Robertson. A nostalgic moment sees them recall Jonah Lomu’s legendary four-try performance in the 1995 Rugby World Cup semifinals. Mexted finishes by saying the Crusaders are gutsy, but this time the Chiefs have too many weapons.
