About this listen

Tony Johnson is back on the DSPN, and he joins host Martin Devlin to review the Super Rugby Pacific semifinals. They dissect the Crusaders’ heroic defensive stand against the Blues - 203 tackles, 38 phases defended - and the red and blacks' legendary 31–0 home playoff record. Meanwhile, the Chiefs steamrolled the Brumbies, with Damian McKenzie starring and the bench making a huge impact. TJ and Marty discuss McKenzie's brilliance, and the Chiefs’ hunger to farewell coach Clayton McMillan in style. TJ highlights the crucial role of discipline, especially given the yellow card carnage from the 2023 final that hurt the Chiefs. They wrap by predicting a nail-biter final in Christchurch.
