On tonight's show, the final show before New Zealand goes into lockdown, the team discuss the postponement of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, chat to Warriors coach Stephen Kearney and catch up with Crusaders coach Scott Robertson.

The team then crosses to America and Europe for the latest in the lockdown of world sport.

Sky Sport's hugely popular weekly rugby magazine show The Breakdown will also be livestreamed every Tuesday night from 8.30pm on nzherald.co.nz and simulcast on Radio Sport and iHeartRadio.

NZME managing editor Shayne Currie said he was delighted to be teaming up with Sky, to help grow audiences for both businesses - and increase interest in myriad sporting codes.

"NZME and Sky are both proud broadcast and digital businesses, with proven track records of world-class coverage of sport. We're proud to be teaming up to showcase and expand on the best sports coverage in New Zealand," Currie said.
