New special Dave Rennie & Paddy to air on Sky Sport 1

Sky Sport is presenting a 30-minute special, Dave Rennie & Paddy, on Thursday, July 2 at 8pm on Sky Sport 1.

With exclusive access, Paddy Gower sits down with new All Blacks head coach Dave Rennie for a wide-ranging and revealing conversation, airing immediately after The Breakdown: All Blacks v France Preview Show.

The special offers a rare and personal portrait of Rennie, exploring what drives him, his heartland roots and the values that will shape his leadership of the All Blacks.

Not just serious rugby stuff

For Paddy Gower, it’s his first documentary for Sky Sport.

“I’m stoked to get so up close and personal with the All Blacks coach. There is an aura around the ABs, and I’ve found that Dave Rennie has an aura about him too. I’m super grateful that I get to help show Kiwis what drives Dave Rennie.

“This interview is not all super serious rugby stuff. It is the story of a New Zealander with special gifts and a big job to do. And there are some laughs too.

“I can’t wait for Kiwis to see Dave Rennie with Paddy.”

Iinsightful and compelling

Gary Burchett, Sky head of sport content, says the special offers a unique window into a pivotal moment for the All Blacks. 

“Dave Rennie steps into one of the most scrutinised roles in New Zealand sport, and this special gives audiences a genuine sense of who he is and how he’ll approach the challenge. 

“With Paddy Gower at the helm, it’s an insightful and compelling feature, with Paddy bringing his strengths in human interest storytelling and a further sign of our commitment to premium local content on Sky Sport.”
