Welcome to episode six of the DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network... Justin Marshall is all over the All Blacks' 30-29 loss to France, which may go down as the most agonising defeat of 2024 for the ABs - a test that was there for the taking. What positives can be taken out of the loss? Which players stepped up and proved their worth? Marty and young producer Lachlan Waugh play a game of Glass Half Full, where they examine a handful of All Blacks-related subjects such as Cam Roigard's form and NZ's first-five stocks. James 'Smitty' Smith - host of the International Boxing Hall of Fame - picks apart Jake Paul's win over Mike Tyson, in one of the worst advertisements for the sport of boxing. But... people tuned into the event in record-breaking numbers, so its popularity can't be denied. Sports broadcasting veteran Mark 'Watto' Watson provides a fan's perspective on All Blacks-France, Jake Paul-Mike Tyson, and Tim Southee's retirement. All that and much more!
