Anton Segner, Super Rugby, Geoff Brown, Mana Pasifika & NRL | 13 February

Welcome to episode 42 of the DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network... Blues loose forward and German native Anton Segner joins the podcast to preview his side's opening game of the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season, up against the Chiefs at Eden Park on Saturday. Segner talks about preseason, hopes of repeating as champions, and his All Blacks aspirations. Marty and producer Lachlan Waugh gather around the debating table once again for the Tight 5. Today they discuss Super Rugby sides named for round one, highlighted by four young Kiwi first-fives being picked. As well as that, Kevin Durant hitting 30,000 points in the NBA, and pre-tournament Champions Trophy cricket matches are discussed. Paepaetele Geoff Brown - lead for the Mana Pasifika bid - runs through his plans to bring a second NRL franchise to New Zealand. Mana Pasifika would be based in Auckland, just like the Warriors, with the hopes of creating a Pasifika powerhouse. How viable is this bid? All that and much more!   Website: https://www.rova.nz/podcasts/dspn Instagram: @martindevlin_dspn TikTok: @martindevlin_dspn YouTube: @DevlinSportsPodcastNetwork
