Andrew Saville and Guy Heveldt join Mike Hosking to talk about the latest in sport, highlighted by the prospect of All Blacks tests for 2020.

Coach Ian Foster and his assistants have named their squad ahead of potential fixtures with fellow SANZAAR partners.

The rumblings suggest there will be a Bledisloe series, while a Rugby Championship is still possible.

Saville believes tests with Australia will go ahead, potentially in Australia.

"Talk of that [the Rugby Championship] seems to be up and down on a daily basis, so I think the Bledisloes will happen."

Heveldt believes it makes the most sense for tests with Australia to be hosted in New Zealand.

"Our Covid response is supposedly the best so why wouldn't have at least one if not all of the games here?"

Saville is not sure if the Government would stop with the All Blacks from playing the election coming up.
