Summary

The Aotearoa Rugby Pod team debates whether Richie Mo'unga should return from Japan and immediately into the All Blacks. Would changing overseas eligibility policies strengthen New Zealand rugby or undermine the system? The crew also unpack B.I.G.G.A, the Dave Rennie work-rate metric and how it could shape future All Blacks selections. Could it make Lucas Casey a great option? Plus, the Hurricanes beating the Blues and James Parsons' tense post-match exchange with Vern Cotter. Catch all our content across @aotearoarugbypodofficial channels Hosted on Acast.
