Coming to you from rugby's greatest fortress, New Zealand's national stadium, Eden Park, is the Aotearoa Rugby Park. Kia ora and welcome to the Aotearoa Rugby pod. It's semi-final time in Super Rugby and the Crusaders are on their way. No one will want to play them over the next couple of weeks, but the Chiefs have got them. They've lost twice to them this year, but they got them in Hamilton and the Chiefs are playing well too in the Hurricanes. Boy, off they go. The Blues though, they've got some work to do if they think they're going to make the final. Plenty to talk about as well around the All Blacks. We're going to discuss the All Blacks locks. Jamie Hanna might have played himself into contention after a pretty good season, but a big game, especially on attack last night.
And also we'll chat with Bryn Hall in episodes to come about Dave Rennie. Brynner is playing in the final... in Japan and they're prepping for Kobe so later in the week we'll talk a little bit about exactly what they've done to prep for Dave Rennie's side of course if you want to catch Aotearoa Rugby Pod make sure you go to at Aotearoa Rugby Pod official channels whether that's YouTube. There's an audio pod across our socials. You can head to stuff.co.nz and get clips as well as written stories and go to Rugby Pass as well. You can catch us there across Rugby Pass TV and across the website and you can get their stats there as well. James Parsons to my right. Oh wee, the Crusaders are on their way.
They certainly are. They love that roof. Again, a massive night with ball and play, 44 minutes. And they're a fit side, really, really fit side. And they just keep coming at you and they look to play quick and that up-tempo style really, really suits them. The question will be if there is wet conditions in Hamilton, can they do a Hurricanes and still play with that mindset and that freedom? Because She's good to watch. And our boy Dave Haveli did not disappoint.
Brilliant. Your man Dave Haveli is well and truly on his way, isn't he? He has had a back half of the season like you wouldn't believe.
He definitely has. His performance on the weekend was probably the best of the year, but I think it's more so the last month that he's probably had. I think he's probably had a few niggles through the early part of the year and probably wasn't at the form where he wanted to be, but You come this finals time and I guess where they really need him, especially with Will Jordan being out and I guess a few injuries. Yeah, he's definitely had one great game.
Who are the contenders for Scott Barrett's replacement in the All Blacks?
I think his, what was his, his try that he ends up going through Ufa or Paddy and like showing his strength and even his ability to be able to put Johnny Monaco away for one of his tries as well. So you're having some really big influences in the game and they're going to need it because against the Chiefs, he's going to have to do another big performance like he has been probably the last fortnight, but especially on the weekend.
You know what I love about him is just his passion for the community. He's mentioned a couple times pre-game about how he wants the people of Christchurch to want to come to the stadium and see a brand of footy that is exciting and entertaining. When he put McNichol away, I think it went around Paddy and Anton, and he gave that inside ball. He didn't even watch the try. He just turned to the crowd and just gave it this one, you know, like, and he was, he just got them up and you can just see their passion. And he's just, you know, he's just a fearless leader and just someone when the moment comes, He just seems to, you know, nine out of 10 times take it.
And the moments are coming, Brenna. And this Crusaders side, whatever's happening down there, and I'm sure you can see it, you've experienced it in the past, whatever's happening down there right now within that team, they are in the mindset for playoffs rugby, aren't they?
Yeah, they are. They just look fluid. And I think, you know, the clunkiness and probably the high error rate they have, you know, in the early part of the year, that seems to have been, seems to be gone.
