'He's Razor's Man' - Murray Mexted backs All Blacks Captain Scott Barrett, talks ABs Selections & Super Rugby Pacific

DSPN host Martin Devlin welcomes New Zealand rugby royalty onto the podcast, in the form of Murray Mexted. The two talk all sorts of rugby with Super Rugby Pacific for 2025 passing the halfway mark, and All Blacks selection debates on the tips of people's tongues. Marty and Mex discuss Scott Barrett and whether he should retain the All Black captaincy, the relationship between a captain and coach, and the importance of loose forwards specialising at one role as opposed to being good at all three. Mex shares his insights on how the dynamics of provincial and national team selections vary, how the grassroots game has been forgotten by the current and previous NZ Rugby administrations, and why having world-class players in key positions is vital. The two also touch on Super Rugby and how competitive it is.   Website: rova.nz/podcasts/dspn-devlin-sports-podcast-network Instagram: @martindevlin_dspn TikTok: @martindevlin_dspn YouTube: @DevlinSportsPodcastNetwork Learn more about your ad choices.
