Show Notes

Shout out to producer Henry who is down in Christchurch for the test this week and grabbed the audio from Dave Rennie's press conference after naming his first All Blacks side of the year.

In this press conference he discusses the loose forward selections, his thought process around Damian McKenzie at fullback and Will Jordan on the wing, what they expect from the French, the dynamic of the coaching staff and what his expectations are from this All Blacks team in week 1.
