Kent Johns is currently filling in for Tony Veitch on Radio Sport breakfast.
Former All Black Richard "Pod" Turner shares his rugby views with Veitchy on a Tuesday morning, and the audience phone lines are thrown open to receive feedback on the topics discussed.
The recording begins with a news and sport bulletin, which is then followed by a weather report.
Appointment of the two referees: Craig Joubert to referee the All Blacks semi-final clash with the Wallabies at Eden Park on Sunday night; Alain Rolland to referee the Wales semi-final clash with France on Saturday; Hosea Gear and Stephen Donald called back in to the All Blacks.
Kento and Pod then take audience phone calls to see what their feedback is on the subject matter discussed so far in the show.
Testing the depth of the team, is it the All Black's job to find that depth? the challenge is not just the depth, but the experience as well.
More callers to air, offering their opinions on the topics discussed.
Stephen Donald plays the type of rugby that the All Blacks need in their semi-final match.
More callers with their thoughts on Aaron Cruden. Pod explains his history, and that he was given advice at ITM Cup level to not worry about RWC 2011 as he wasn't going to be selected - which turns out to be quite ironic that Cruden found himself on the field in the All Black quarterfinals.
News headlines and sport news are updated at 08:30hrs. Then a weather report.
Feedback from audience leans towards Cruden's suitability for selection when playing the Wallabies; he is inexperienced, and is slowly building his confidence unlike Colin Slade who showed a lack of confidence with the time he spent on the field for the All Blacks. The next caller talks about the prowess of Curtley Beale; and indigenous players. Pod favours David Pocock (Wallaby) as the best player with the most influence in the semi-final with All Blacks. The question is posed how do the All Blacks strategise around Pocock if he is cleaning the All Blacks out?
Feedback from caller about substitutions during the game in reference to Piri Weepu and allowing him to stay on the field for the entire 80 minutes. Pod makes the comment that coaches will see how the game is evolving and only pull off their players to interchange them once the game is "in the bag" or if injuries occur and require substitution. It is essential to inject some "fresh legs" into the game.
Confidence in Stephen Donald? Audience member talks about his lack of faith in Stephen Donald's abilities to perform, and hopes he will only be the "last resort". Pod responds that Donald will make the 22 members of the squad for the semi-finals.
Jackie calls in to make a point about Aaron Cruden and his ability to cope under pressure to which Pod agrees wholeheartedly. The next caller, Nathan asks how much can the ABs handle in terms of match-hardened performance as the injuries are starting to pile up now with our best players; do they play too much rugby? He refers to Slade and his injury. Pod responds that Slade didn't cope with the level of physicality; McCaw will have a hefty sized needle in order to play in the semi-final.
Next caller refers to the first-fives and how they are dropping like flies; he thinks that it is the half-back is the one that should be looked after, to let him go down would be disastrous. Pod responds that there was some debate over whether Piri Weepu would be match-fit - he's put that rumour to bed.
