Super Rugby Preview: Tony Johnson on teams & players to watch for in 2025

Longtime Sky Sport rugby commentator Tony Johnson joins Marty Devlin on the DSPN, looking ahead to the start of the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season. The Crusaders host the Hurricanes in Christchurch on Friday to open this year's tournament. The highlight match of the weekend is arguably the defending-champion Blues playing the Chiefs in Auckland, in a repeat of last year's decider. Tony and Marty work through the favourites for the competition this year, with a focus on last year's two finalists. They question whether or not the Crusaders can bounce back, how much success the Highlanders will have under returning coach Jamie Joseph, and they list players to watch out for and potential All Blacks bolters.   Website: https://www.rova.nz/podcasts/dspn Instagram: @martindevlin_dspn TikTok: @martindevlin_dspn YouTube: @DevlinSportsPodcastNetwork
