In my final video about the summer leg of Nations Championship Series, I break down what has been an exceptionally action-packed tournament that, with thanks to the new format, has revolutionized the Summer and Autumn Internationals!

From edge-of-seat thrillers to one-sided bulldozing performances the first three games for every team had it all. I'll go over the scores, moments that caught my eye, analysis of the six home nations along with where I think they will go from here, what we can expect in the second leg of the competition along with final standings for the summer series!

In Round Three of the Nations Championship, Ireland face off against their old nemesis New Zealand at the All Black’s “mecca” Eden Park!

Since 1994 when France shocked the world with a 22 – 8 victory over the All Blacks, in the following 31 years and 52 matches the All Black’s remain undefeated at Kingsland.

It’ll be a return for Ireland who last set foot at Eden Park in 2022 in which they suffered a 41 – 19 loss at the hands of the All Blacks before going on to win their first ever Summer Tour of New Zealand and climbed the World Rugby Rankings to No1.

In this video I break down the history between these two international heavyweights, discuss the key players who will be integral to a legendary win at Eden Park, thoughts, facts, opinions and predictions on not only Ireland’s behemoth challenge but on the remaining fixtures in the final round of the Nations Championship!

Man of the march Sean Jansen made his mark with a stand out performance against Japan along with landing a vital try on his first international cap! In a game I found myself having flashbacks to the 2019 World Cup Pool stages, in which Ireland lost to the host nation, I’ve thrown together my thoughts, analysis and opinions on a cracking game in which Japan showed their impressive talent and Ireland, with nine changes, bedded in the debutants and got the job done!

Overjoyed to have my first Leinster and Ireland superstar on the show, Devin Toner!
