Was there a little shout out to @NTA or is there another Nick the Aussie?
Yeah that me
We have a few convos via the socials on various sporting things. Amazing breadth of knowledge and joy in the game.
Years ago when @Gibbit was on ?RadioSport? I actually did a morning interview via phone with @BartMan on the other line.

@akan004 interesting listen , found the part about wanting to win world cups with 2 countries really interesting. And also has a big interest in coaching in the 6 nations .
Has a beware , England may grab him first feel to it , unfortunately

Parsons has turned into a full on cheerleader in recent weeks. Very much viewing everything through rose-tinted glasses, and banging on about how he "knows these players can win the collisions because they've done it before". When was the last time they did that against a quality pack, Lions test one in 2017?

I found this All Blacks podcast interesting. Good insight from one of the best refs running around right now.

@antipodean good listen.
Not sure what he means about being the first ever NZ ref to ref the ABs. He probably needed to clarify a time line ... but that's just picking hairs on my part.

Just came to post that same listen.
Interesting parts for me was his talking about prep and post game stuff. Doesn't go into dealing with key errors apart from saying that they do communicate back with coaches for clarification.
The other interesting thing was around pre-game meetings with coaches and how they have realised the futility of trying to point out opposition actions but instead talk about how he would see certain things they want to try so as to not surprise the ref.As I have often suspected reffing is all about confidence in themselves and their procedures even if wrong. That's why they can come across as arrogant, especially when backing themselves on their errors. I guess that any sign of weakness gets spotted by players.
It's certainly not an easy gig but if they can be so open and honest with coaches and players surely they can loosen up a little with the public e.g. "There was a non-call late in the match where the whole team was unsighted. We have all worked out how to make tweaks to positioning for the future". Would be better than having us all debate their competency. -
This week's Aotearoa Rugby Pod is worth a listen (as was last weeks). Schalk Burger was a guest for pretty much the entire pod and he was interesting to listen to. If nothing else his story at the end about Jean de Villiers farting and shitting himself is worth the listen!

Said he would be a starter everytime.

Dan Hawkins has started his own podcast, Couple Deep.
He opened with Dan Pryor and has just dropped one with Tony Johnston (I know many dont like him, but is a decent listen)

Hawkins still getting a feel for things, but after hearing him on the What a Lad podcast as well as my interactions with him, it just enhances my opinion that he is a top bloke (regardless of my views of him as a player)

I always thought he was good as a host of Reunion, it's just his commentating on Blues/ Ta$man/Crusaders/Canterbury games that's the issue.
