Tony Johnson - All Blacks' 'Pivotal Week' & Black Ferns semifinal exit with Kristina Sue

Tony Johnson starts off with an editorial on what he describes as the most important fortnight for the All Blacks in 2025, as well as touching on a couple of other big rugby storylines over the weekend - including the Black Fern's 34-19 loss to Canada in the women's World Cup semifinals. Then, TJ is joined by former Black Fern Kristina Sue, who credits Canada’s clinical performance and resilience, fueled by adversity and top-level competition abroad. She highlights New Zealand’s struggles with discipline, handling errors, and injuries, including the absence of x-factor Jorja Miller. Looking ahead, Sue calls for stronger international calendars, greater investment, and exposing players to diverse rugby styles.
