Sean Fitzpatrick on Historic 1996 South Africa Series Win & State of Current All Blacks

Former All Blacks captain and rugby legend Sean Fitzpatrick joins Martin Devlin on the DSPN, to reflect on one of the greatest All Blacks achievements - the historic test series win in South Africa in 1996. Fitzpatrick recalls the bonds formed on that tour, the emotional final whistle in Pretoria, and the pride in achieving something generations of All Blacks had chased since 1921. He shares memories of legends like Zinzan Brooke, Christian Cullen, and coach John Hart, while also assessing today’s side under Scott Robertson. Fitzpatrick believes the All Blacks are building well, but stresses the expectation to win every test remains central to New Zealand rugby’s identity.
