AUS Rugby scene: NSW could do the funniest thing in Super Round with Martin Devlin

About this episode

Brett McKay and guest Martin Devlin discuss the upcoming Super Round and the recent performances in the AUS Rugby scene.

New Zealand broadcaster and host of the popular DSPN podcast Martin Devlin joins Brett McKay on the AUS Rugby scene this week, to look ahead at the return of Super Round after a wild Round 10 last weekend. A round that had everything saw Moana Pasifika put up way more fight than expected, we had the first edition of extra time for the season in Hamilton, the Fijian Drua enjoyed a first away win in Australia, and the Western Force claimed another scalp. That puts all eyes onto the return of Super Round in Christchurch, and their brand new, magnificent stadium just blocks from the city centre. And imagine this: the NSW Waratahs causing a massive boilover to kick it all off, beating the Crusaders to return to the top six. Just imagine it. #rugbypodcast #89Rugby #SuperRugbyPacific Find the DSPN on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@DevlinSportsPodcastNetwork, and wherever you get your podcasts.
