Riley Higgins is off, Ardie Savea’s next move is suddenly a proper talking point, and we’re still no closer to a clean answer on the All Blacks No. 10 jersey.

This week on the DSPN’s Rugby Roundtable, we get into what Higgins leaving actually says about New Zealand Rugby, whether players should be free to move right across Super Rugby, and why Damian McKenzie might have pushed himself back to the front of the first-five queue. We also dig into whether the Chiefs and Hurricanes are giving us proper test-level footy, and whether the Crusaders are cooked or just biding their time.

Plus, Whitney Hansen’s influence on the Black Ferns, why that win over Canada felt different, and the argument over whether Auckland is a rugby city anymore.
