Murray Mexted: All Blacks' Lack of Loose Forwards for French Series, Front Row Depth, and How to Beat South Africa

MP3•Episode home

All Blacks icon and former rugby broadcaster Murray Mexted joins DSPN host Martin Devlin, to review the naming of the first ABs squad of 2025. Mex and Marty zero in on coach Scott Robertson naming only five loose forwards, they question the height and aerial strength of the current group, pointing out how vital it is to win possession - especially against towering northern hemisphere packs. Mex argues for players like Tupou Vaa’i should be trialed more at blindside flanker, and he highlights how rugby "turns men into better men". Mexted also believes Ardie Savea and Luke Jacobson should be considered as opensides. It's classic Murray Mexted - deep rugby insight, a few left-field calls, and plenty of passion.
