Description
On today's podcast, It's Only Sport host Martin Devlin tackles the All Blacks team naming for their rugby test against Argentina in Wellington this weekend. Coach Scott Robertson sprung a couple of surprises, which suggest a bright (near) future for some players while no doubt putting others on notice. First off, Devlin delivers a sermon talking about the ABs side named, applauding coach Robertson for a couple of bold selections - particularly in midfield and loose forward - and straying away from the typically conservative approach New Zealand coaches of the past have taken when naming teams. Then, Devlin runs through quotes of Robertson at the team naming presser before discussing the matchday 23 with producer Lachlan Waugh, Greg Martin talks strange Wallabies selections and the abysmal Brisbane Broncos, Mark 'Watto' Watson recaps key Olympic results for New Zealand in the last 24 hours, and Sports Byline's Ron Barr offers an American perspective on the Olympic Games. As well as that, Devlin and Waugh have topics galore to delve into - including the Kiwi pole vaulters, canoe sprinters and high jumper Hamish Kerr at the Paris Olympics - on the Tight 5 and What Has More Chance Of Happening. All that and much more!
