Thursday 28 May 2026: Former All Blacks captain Reuben Thorne on who should captain the All Blacks

On Sports Fix with D'Arcy Waldegrave and Jason Pine for 28 May 2026, yesterday the news broke that current All Blacks captain Scott Barrett would be sidelined a further 3-5 months with a back injury - meaning he is unlikely to feature for the All Blacks during the 2026 season. Former All Blacks captain Reuben Thorne joined D'Arcy to discuss who may take the reins for Scott this year. D'Arcy shares his thoughts on the All Whites potentially playing in front of 50,000 empty seats against England. And D'Arcy and Piney discuss the first days play in the Black Caps' test match against Ireland and New South Wales's miraculous comeback in State of Origin 1.
