On Sports Fix with Jason Pine for 16th February 2026, State of Origin is heading to New Zealand for the first time ever in 2027. Rugby League's biggest rivalry will be brought to Eden Park, and alongside this announcement the NRL announced a tweaking of eligibility rules, meaning some on NZ's biggest stars may be able to play as well. NRL CEO Andrew Abdo joins the podcast to discuss what went into making this decision and the logistics behind making it happen.
Piney weighs up the delicate balance between entertainment and safety in the wake of the huge collision between the Black Foils and Team France at the Auckland Sail GP regatta.
Plus, Clay Wilson is in the Chamber discussing a hot start to the Super Rugby season.
