  • Wednesday 25 June 2025: Unpacking the new Black Caps home schedule

    On Sports Fix with D'Arcy Waldegrave for Wednesday June 25 2025, the Black Caps' home schedule is out. It’s very spring-centric, very T20 driven and not particularly ‘26 based. Hmmm. To discuss that and an actual 3 test series, D’Arc has a yarn to 50 foot tall pacemen Kyle Jamieson. 

    The Supercars are in NZ next year for a double header. From Taupo in the north to Christchurch in the south, it’s going to be a mad April in 2026. But why here? We’ve been pinching titles off them for years, where does this new love come from? 

    In the Chamber, D’Arcy and Newstalk ZB journo Nathan Limm talk of the Wahs and Te Maire Martin’s future, as well as the summer of cricket and why it’s in spring. Here's hoping the traditional wet dawning of summer doesn’t show up...

  • Wednesday 18 June 2025: Why were cowbells banned from the Super Rugby Pacific final?

    On Sports Fix with D'Arcy Waldegrave for Wednesday June 18 2025, Colin Mansbridge has ejected the Mooloo cowbell from Saturday night’s Super Rugby Pacific final. The Crusaders CEO has caused a ruckus by banning the bovine necklace accessory from the Apollo Projects Shack. He joins us to explain why.

    D’Arcy moans about the French side touring in July. As predicted, it’s low on quality because the French clubs don’t care about international rugby. Nothing new here, but what does this say about the international game’s long-term relevance? 

    In the Chamber, D’Arc and NZ Herald writer Christopher Rieve, AKA Kel-El, speak of the bell-ban and the possibilities in State of Origin 2, staged in the very west of the west island, Perth.

  • Tuesday 17 June 2025: What made this Super Rugby season work so well?

    On Sports Fix with D'Arcy Waldegrave for Tuesday June 17, 2025 Jack Mesley is the CEO of Super Rugby Pacific and he’s overseen arguably the best version of Super Rugby over the last decade. Why? What’s worked? What hasn’t? What next? A few days out from the big dance, Jack reflects.

    D’Arcy eats humble pie, crow, whatever. He got it wrong around the World Test Championship final and says he’s sorry.  

    In the Chamber, D’Arc and NZ Herald writer Alex Powell have a yarn around Ardie’s sabbatical (yup, another one), Sophie’s retirement and the infighting at the Canadian Grand Prix.
