Former All Blacks halfback Justin Marshall joins Marty Devlin on the DSPN, to discuss the ABs' 30-29 defeat to France in Paris on the weekend. Justin and Marty lament the narrow loss to France, which they see as a test win gone begging. They dive into the in-game decisions, such as substitutions and strategic choices, that may have impacted the outcomes, as well as questionable refereeing calls that didn't quite benefit the All Blacks. Justin and Marty briefly review other international matches, including Ireland's struggle against Argentina and Australia's thumping of Wales. Lastly, Justin shares some light-hearted moments about his visit to St. Andrews, the home of golf.   Website: https://www.rova.nz/podcasts/dspn Instagram: @martindevlin_dspn TikTok: @martindevlin_dspn

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!   Website: https://www.rova.nz/podcasts/dspn Instagram: @martindevlin_dspn TikTok: @martindevlin_dspn
