On today's podcast, It's Only Sport host Martin Devlin tackles a big sports story bubbling away in New Zealand involving Crusaders coach Rob Penney, a journalist, and the 'c' word. This calls for a sermon, with Devlin offering his thoughts on Penney being caught out describing a journalist as a "c***", after he was pressed hard by said journalist with questions surrounding his job security. Who's at fault? Is this a storm in a teacup? What is the relationship between sport and the media in New Zealand actually like?

Then, Crusaders CEO Colin Mansbridge goes in-depth on the Penney presser, Hurricanes and All Blacks star Jordie Barrett previews the 'Canes away trip to the Chiefs this weekend in Super Rugby Pacific, former Wallabies fullback and Triple M radio host Greg Martin talks oval ball and his bachelor life, and Aussie rugby journo Christy Doran describes his experiences covering former Wallabies coaches Eddie Jones and Dave Rennie. Plus, Devlin and producer Lachlan Waugh work through a massive news day in New Zealand sport, offering their perspectives on the likes of Penney, Breakers coach Mody Maor resigning and Warriors prop Addin Fonua-Blake's future. All that and much more!
