Kieran Read and Justin Marshall open with a no-holds-barred post-mortem on the Crusaders’ semifinal implosion — the complacency question, the Chiefs’ mental edge, and what Read would have said at halftime down 28–00. Then it’s full focus on Saturday: is the 10 battle between Reuben Love and Damian McKenzie also the battle for the All Black jersey? Who wins the forward arm wrestle? And is JP right that the Hurricanes are simply impossible to beat? Plus: Marshall’s never-told story about Zinzan Brooke making him feel like crying at halftime in 1995, the Luke Jacobson deep dive, a technical breakdown of the Hurricanes’ counter-ruck dominance, and JP drops a scoreline that has the boys howling. ───────────────────────────── 🔗 LINKS 🎟️ SUNDAY SESSION — July 5th, Christchurch | Tickets link below https://www.oldboys.co.nz/viewform/515859 ───────────────────────────── 📑CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro — Read & Marshall on Crusaders’ semi-final collapse 1:41 Was it complacency?

    "Just Breathe. We Got This." | Kieran Reid, James O'Connor & Jeremy Paul

    What separates the teams that win finals from the ones that show up and go through the motions? That's the question at the heart of this week's episode — and All Blacks legend Kieran Reid has some very honest answers. Reado joins the boys in studio fresh off the Hurricanes' quarterfinal demolition of the Brumbies. He breaks down what genuine finals belief looks like from the inside — including the moment Richie McCaw gathered a team that was 19-7 down to Ireland and simply said: "Just breathe. We got this." Then he gives his take on which teams in this year's Super Rugby semifinals have that same DNA. James O'Connor calls in from the UK with massive personal news, an update on his hamstring, and a wide-open future back in Australia. And Jeremy Paul joins from across the Tasman with passionate opinions on where Rabs should land and absolutely no time for anyone who questions whether he's still got it. Plus: Tony Brown confirmed as All Blacks assistant coach, the unsolved number 8 puzzle, Ruben Love's case to be the next ABs 10, and a big announcement for GBRANZ fans in Christchurch. 🎟️ **SUNDAY SESSION — July 5th, Christchurch | Tickets link below** https://www.oldboys.co.nz/viewform/515859 --- CHAPTERS 00:00 — Intro 01:46 — Hurricanes vs Brumbies: what went wrong for the 11 Wallabies 05:19 — The Crusaders formula: what it takes to win ugly 12:27 — "Just breathe.
