Summary
Dave Rennie’s All Blacks coaching debut just got delayed — his arrival in New Zealand is pushed back a week after Kobe Steel, his current team, crushed their way into the Japan league final with a 69-23 rout. With the All Blacks’ first test against France looming on July 4, Rennie’s got a tight window to settle in and assemble his squad. Meanwhile, Ardie Savea, a top contender for captaincy, is stuck in Japan for the final after lighting up the semi with two tries. Other Kiwis on Kobe’s roster, including potential All Blacks debutant Anton Lienart-Brown and legend Brodie Retallick, are also in the thick of it — while former captain Sam Cane got a yellow card in the other semi. Rennie’s got one more high-stakes game to navigate before he can even think about heading home. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
