We are just six months away from the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.
After a rough 2022, the All Blacks are hoping that this could be their year to reclaim the Webb Ellis Cup.
But it’s the drama off the field that is dominating discussions right now.
Current coach Ian Foster announced he won’t be reapplying for the job when his tenure ends after the tournament.
This comes after a year of public backlash over performances. And now some of that fan anger is being turned on NZ Rugby, as future of our biggest sports team remains up in the air.
To discuss the inner workings of this drama, and what plot twists could come next, we’re joined by NZ Herald chief sports writer and co-host of the Rugby Direct podcast, Liam Napier.
