Ex-All Blacks coach and two-time Rugby World Cup winner Sir Steve Hansen joins Martin Devlin on It's Only Sport, discussing two big additions to his Japanese rugby side Toyota Verblitz. Sydney Roosters star outside back Joey Manu is switching from league to union, signing with the club for the 2024-25 season, while Sir Steve's successor at the All Blacks - Ian Foster - is also joining Toyota and rekindling his coaching partnership with his old superior. Sir Steve talks to Devlin about how both moves came about, including the time it took to finish negotiations with Foster, who approached who first in the Manu signing, what position he will play, and much more.
