• Greg Martin's Year in Review: Wallabies' Woes, Broncos Highs, Strange Radio Stunts

  Greg Martin rolls in for his final DSPN appearance of the year and he is absolutely in holiday mode… just with two trolleys of alcohol to get through first. Before he disappears to an island for five weeks, we run through his best and worst moments of 2025, from wooden spoon stunts to beer-stuffed bachelor’s handbags on breakfast radio. On the rugby front, Greg’s highlight was beating South Africa in Johannesburg, while the lowlights were basically everything else the Wallabies touched. Argentina, Italy, France… the heartbreak reel is long. He’s brutally honest about Australia’s lack of depth, the player drain overseas, and why the Joe Schmidt experiment might be the final straw for Kiwi coaches in green and gold. We also get into rugby league stealing the country, the R360 delay, and what actually gives him hope heading into 2026. Plus cricket, the Broncos, the Lions, and a full serve of Greg’s trademark Aussie self-deprecation.

• All Blacks Reality Check and Defending Etzebeth's Eye Gouge | Marty's Mailbag

  This week’s DSPN Marty's Mailbag absolutely lit up, and to be fair, we love it. Nothing says rugby season like passionate fans firing off takes about the All Blacks, the Springboks, the laws, the refs and everything in between. We sift through the best (and wildest) comments and unpack the big talking points shaping the sport right now. Martin and Lachlan dive into the eye-gouge saga, the 12-week ban, and why intent isn’t the same as action. We also get stuck into the South Africa tour expectations, the debate over whether a two-all draw is realistic or soft, and why replacements, offside lines and captain’s challenges have fans calling for change. Plus, Matt Burke’s thoughts on Aussie rugby, Tony Johnson’s fixes for the game, and a few listeners who came in absolutely swinging.

• Springboks-Ireland Final? 2027 World Cup Predictions | Rugby Roundtable

  The DSPN's Rugby Roundtable gets spicy fast, as Martin, John Day and Mark 'Watto' Watson dive straight into the mess around the All Blacks coaching group. Jason Holland heading back to the Hurricanes has everyone raising eyebrows, and the boys don’t hold back on what it might say about life inside the current setup. From there we rip into Eben Etzebeth’s eye-gouge defence, Razor’s role being “re-explained” by NZ Rugby, and whether Scott Hansen is actually steering the All Blacks more than anyone wants to admit. Then it’s prediction time. We map out who makes the Rugby World Cup 2027 final, who chokes in the quarters, and which powerhouse could be running on fumes by the time Australia rolls around.

• Defining All Blacks Coaching Roles and End Of Year Review | Marty's Sermon

  Today Marty dives into the heat around Scott Robertson, the All Blacks review, and why NZ Rugby’s delay and vague explanations aren’t sitting well with fans. Razor’s the head coach, that much is clear, but does the setup around him actually stack up when you put it under the microscope? We talk through what this review really needs to uncover, why the public deserves more transparency, and how long it’s been since the All Blacks showed real progress. It’s not a development side. The job is to win test matches, full stop. Find every episode and discover your next favourite podcast on the rova app or rova.nz Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

• Matthew Burke Talks Wallabies Revival and World Cup Reality

  We’ve got Wallabies royalty on DSPN today, and honestly, it’s a treat. Matthew Burke joins us to talk through the state of Australian rugby, the messy World Cup draw, and why planning too far ahead in this sport is basically asking for chaos from the rugby gods. Matt opens up on everything from the physicality gap in Super Rugby to why Australia’s depth up front matters more than any superstar in the backline. He also gives a brutally honest take on league converts, the reality of building consistency, and why the new offside interpretations are driving him up the wall . We also get some gold about catching high balls, what AFL skills rugby desperately needs, and the transition to Les Kiss as Wallabies coach. It’s smart, layered chat from one of the sharpest minds in the game. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
