Rugby Review: Chris Jones on All Blacks haka, TJ Perenara, Wales vs Springboks

Chris Jones, longtime rugby reporter for The Times and RugbyPass in the UK, joins Marty Devlin on the DSPN, following the latest slate of international rugby matches in the northern hemisphere. Highlights include a very unconvincing All Blacks side beating Italy, Australia's hopes of a first Grand Slam in 40 years being dashed by Scotland, and Wales losing their 12th successive test against South Africa. Chris and Marty dissect all the key matches, the updated world rankings, and how Australia's recent results are increasing interest in the 2025 Lions tour. As well as that, they touch on the impact of TJ Perenara's political statement during the All Blacks haka, highlighting the intersection of sports and politics.   Website: https://www.rova.nz/podcasts/dspn Instagram: @martindevlin_dspn TikTok: @martindevlin_dspn
