Super Rugby 2025: Jamie Wall on impressive Chiefs, Crusaders' redemption

On the DSPN, RNZ Rugby Reporter Jamie Wall joins Marty Devlin to review the opening weekend of Super Rugby Pacific, which featured five close games. The average winning margin was five points, with the defending-champion Blues suffering the largest defeat of the round at 11 points (25-14 losers to the Chiefs). Jamie and Marty cast an eye over all fixtures, questioning how good the Australian sides can be, whether or not 2024 was a blip for the Crusaders, and how impressive the Chiefs were on a wet and wild Eden Park turf on Saturday night. They also touch on the Brumbies' use of the rolling maul against the Fijian Drua, and the good overall performance of the referees.   Website: https://www.rova.nz/podcasts/dspn Instagram: @martindevlin_dspn TikTok: @martindevlin_dspn YouTube: @DevlinSportsPodcastNetwork
