We get straight into it today, because the All Blacks conversation has gone somewhere it probably shouldn’t have. After the hiding at Twickenham, the team’s social feeds fired out smiley post-match pics and early hype for Wales. Martin reckons that completely missed the moment, and we break down why authenticity matters when fans are still hurting.

Producer Lachlan then joins in, as we work through a game of Glass Half Full, with questions around the All Blacks, the Springboks, England, Ireland and everyone in between. From the gap between New Zealand and South Africa to what actually counts as a “bounce back”, we go deep on where this team really sits.

Plus, cricket scheduling chaos, Samoa squeezing through to the World Cup, and why some awards make zero sense.
