Matt Williams: Rugby Icon on All Blacks vs France, Strength of Top 14, & Springboks' 7-1 Bench Split

Join DSPN host Martin Devlin, as he welcomes a very special guest onto the podcast - renowned rugby broadcaster and former coach Matt Williams. The Australian-native has made a name for himself as one of the top voices in rugby, spending over a decade in Ireland working for Virgin Media and the Irish Times. The two delve into the complexities of the global rugby calendar, the French Top 14 and the best sides on show, and why the All Blacks should actually be worried about a 'French B' side coming downunder in July. Matt talks about the differing styles of rugby in the northern and southern hemispheres, and touches on the future of the sport. The interview wraps up with Matt sharing his opinion on the 7-1 bench split made famous by the Springboks under Rassie Erasmus, and how the method is damaging to rugby from a tactical and safety perspective.   Website: rova.nz/podcasts/dspn-devlin-sports-podcast-network Instagram: @martindevlin_dspn TikTok: @martindevlin_dspn YouTube: @DevlinSportsPodcastNetwork Learn more about your ad choices.
