A very special guest joins Marty Devlin on the DSPN in the form of Fijian Drua coach Glen Jackson, who's no doubt  a happy camper after his side's first win of 2025 against the Chief 28-24 in Lautoka. Glen - who formerly played first-five for the Chiefs, Bay of Plenty and Saracens, and held the whistle for a long time as a professional referee - talks all about that victory and how good it feels to finally get his first win as a head coach, after opening the Super Rugby Pacific season with three successive losses. He and Marty also discuss the passionate rugby fans in Fiji and how the sport is almost a religion, the disruptions that surrounded the Hurricanes match in Napier, and the push for the Super Rugby finals and whether or not they're on track. Glen also reflects on his personal growth as a head coach.
