It's Only Sport podcast | The Platform - A podcast by The Platform
Justin Marshall - former All Blacks halfback with 81 tests to his name, and current Sky Sport rugby commentator - joins Martin Devlin on It's Only Sport to recap round 10 of Super Rugby Pacific, that could well have seen the competition favourites baton change hands. The previously unbeaten Hurricanes suffered their first defeat of 2024, falling to the Brumbies 27-19 in Canberra. The Blues won a thriller against the Reds in Brisbane 41-34 to move to within one point of the 'Canes on the table, while the Crusaders reignited hopes they can make the finals with a 39-0 win over the Rebels in Christchurch. Let's start there - Marshall delves into the Crusaders' big win and whether or not it can kickstart a surge towards the postseason, the balance of their loose forward trio with Cullen Grace at blindside flanker and Ethan Blackadder at openside, the Hurricanes and whether or not they're still favourites for the title, and more.
