NRL GRAND FINAL Heading To AUCKLAND? + Damian McKENZIE Injury Update | The Agenda Podcast

The NRL Grand Final might be heading to Auckland — thanks, indirectly, to the Pope. Damian McKenzie is racing to be fit for the Springboks. And someone just paid $12.5 billion for the LA Lakers.

Tony Lyall and ACC Head G Lane wade through a genuinely varied Agenda, opening with the ongoing search for a proper nickname for One NZ Stadium (aka Te Kaha), before digging into the growing story of the NRL Grand Final potentially heading to Go Hard Media Stadium in Auckland (with the Pope's visit to Australia creating scheduling implications), Damian McKenzie's leg injury and whether he'll be fit to play the Springboks, and reflecting on the $12.5 billion LA Lakers sale (and what else could have been done with that money).

Plus Yours Please with the important question: what's the best thing to drink during an early morning All Blacks game?
