Today's It's Only Sport best of podcast is largely dedicated to the now former All Blacks skipper Sam Cane, with show host Martin Devlin touching base with notable rugby minds in New Zealand and around the world to discuss Cane's decision to retire from the international game. Today, new All Blacks coach Scott Robertson confirmed he will have a new captain, but Cane could still run out in the black jumper in 2024 should Robertson select him.

First off, Devlin delivers a sermon discussing Cane's legacy and where he sits in terms of New Zealand's great rugby servants. Then, audio from Robertson's stand-up is played where he talks about Cane's decision, rumours about a Richie Mo'unga return to New Zealand, player depth, and more.

Ex-All Blacks coach Ian Foster chats about the leadership qualities he noticed in Cane while he was coach, UK rugby writer Chris Jones offers an international perspective on Cane, Sean Keeler from The Denver Post talks the NBA playoffs, and Matt Gunn is positive about Super Rugby Pacific uniforms and Australian netball.

As well as that - as they always do - Devlin and young producer Lachlan Waugh bicker about the likes of the Warriors, rugby, and Premier League football on the Tight 5. All that and much more!
