Thursday 20 November 2025: NZR High Performance Referee Manager Chris Pollock on the differences between refereeing Super Rugby and international rugby


Listen Later

On Sports Fix with D'Arcy Waldegrave and Jason Pine for 20th November 2025, we discuss the refereeing of the northern tour tests - not just the All Blacks but across the board has pundits asking questions. The TMO seems to play a rather large part in the games coming in to overrule referees consistently.

This is in contrast to Super Rugby, where a heavy emphasis has been made to keep the ball in play and the action going. D'Arcy spoke with NZR High Performance Referee Manager Chris Pollock to discuss the differences between refereeing Super Rugby and international rugby. 

D'Arcy shares his thoughts on the All Blacks' 2025 season.

And D'Arcy and Piney discuss who they think will be named in the All Blacks side to take on Wales later tonight - and the Silver Ferns winning their test series against England 2-1.
