Todd Blackadder - former All Blacks and Crusaders captain, and Crusaders coach from 2009-2016 - joins Martin Devlin on It's Only Sport, after guiding his side to victory in the final of the Japan Rugby League One competition. Blackadder's Toshiba Brave Lupus defeated the previously unbeaten Panasonic Wild Knights - who are coached by Robbie Deans - 24-20 in a tightly contested decider, handing Blackadder his first ever trophy as a head coach. The 52-year-old talks to Devlin about how sweet victory feels, the impact of former All Blacks Richie Mo'unga and Shannon Frizell who both joined the team ahead of the season, how Blackadder as a coach has improved over the years, other rugby coaching jobs he has his eye on, and more.
