Summary
Dave Rennie, the newly appointed All Blacks head coach, capped off his Japan stint with a championship win as his Kobe Steelers defeated the Kubota Spears 22-13 at Tokyo’s National Stadium, drawing over 50,000 fans. At 62, Rennie is thrilled to return home and focus on one major job: rebuilding New Zealand’s national team for the next World Cup, starting with the June Nations Championship squad. His Kobe roster featured key All Blacks stars like Ardie Savea and Brodie Retallick, who was named man of the match and hopes to return to the All Blacks if eligibility rules change. Rennie is reportedly eager to bring Retallick back, though current regulations bar overseas-based players. Players like Savea are confident Rennie’s proven leadership with Kobe will translate to All Blacks success. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
