It's Only Sport host Martin Devlin ramps up coverage of the Super Rugby Pacific season, which kicks off in a week's time in a repeat of the 2023 final, with the Chiefs hosting the defending-champion Crusaders in Hamilton. First up, Martin Devlin chats with Crusaders head coach Rob Penney who is embarking on his first year in charge of the red and blacks. Penney boasts a résumé that includes coaching stints with Canterbury, Munster and the Waratahs, but how does he continue the success that began under Scott Robertson? What will the backline look like without star first-five Richie Mo'unga, who now plays in Japan? After that, Chiefs attack coach Roger Randle discusses with Devlin his side's pre-season so far which included a trip to Japan, how they handle the favourites tag, and how they overcome the disappointment of losing last year's decider.
