How to Dethrone a King

This week on the poddy, the Wallabies have done what pretty much nobody thought they could - they’ve slain the King on the doorstep of his own bloody castle. Wallabies 38 - Springboks 22 at Ellis Park! Will they do it again next week or will the green machine come remember they’re world champions? The All Blacks continue their winning ways with a pretty convincing victory over the Pumas in Argentina, albeit a bit scrappy.

It looks like this year’s Rugby Championship could be anyone’s trophy to claim. Watch this space!

Sir Richie of Mo’unga

This week on the pod, the title says it all - Richie Mo’unga is back, and we’re happy about it. Who will miss out now that he’s back on home turf? All Black debutant Leroy Carter almost misses the plain to Buenos Aries, with the wrong kind of dog ears on his passport. Another powerhouse Crusader makes a triumphant return to NZ rugby. And some solid wins from some very solid teams - essentially just Bay of Plenty and Wellington - give an early indication of who might the lift the trophy this year. Next week the All Blacks are back taking on Argentina in Round One of the Rugby Championship. Tune in!

The Lion Sleeps Tonight

On the poddy this week, the lads discuss the torrential downpour of a finale to the Lions’ Australian tour, as the Wallabies get the last word and send the Lions back to the UK with a bit less wag in their tail. They say lightning never strikes twice, but did it even strike once? - we discuss the bonkers 40 minute time-out for the lightning that never came. We dissect the new All Blacks squad naming for the rugby championship - who misses out and who gets lucky. And the NPC takes the boys completely by surprise, with a scintillating opening round of footy, and proves well and truly that rugby never sleeps.

The Hugest of Huge Calls

On this week’s pod, the boys break down the second Lions test in Australia, and despite a valiant and inspiring effort from the Wallabies, the lads from the North clinch the series - amid huge controversy. The Aussies are absolutely fuming and it begs the question - does anyone actually know the rules of rugby, or are we all just taking a stab in the dark?

Le Coq - 3 ways

On the Pod this week the boys review the final game of the All Blacks vs France series. Who’s cemented their black jersey? And who’s left to sweat in the lead up to Razor naming his squad for the upcoming rugby championship? We chat about the various injuries and niggles floating around the All Blacks camp and just how long Beaudy will be nursing his hand before he returns to the golf course. We muse on the opening test of the Lion’s series in Australia, and try to figure out how the many kiwis in the Lions team would have feared if they’d stayed on NZ shores. And we wonder just how the solitary cock made its way onto the FMG pitch on Saturday night. All this and more!

Return to Scheduled Programming

On the pod this week, the boys discuss the second week of the July internationals. The All Blacks set the record straight with a dominant first half display against the French to lock up the series. We discuss who should be in and who gets left out for Game 3. Wales finally end the pain by clinching their first victory in 644 days, against a valiant Japanese side. Tony Brown is obviously enjoying a braai or two over in Cape Town, as the Springboks wipe their arse with a lacklustre Italian side. And what on earth was Rieko doing sniffing his finger? All this and more!

Super Smack

On the first episode of Super Smack Internationals, the boys discuss a narrow win from the All Blacks over a supposedly weak French ‘B’ team, and how the old foe almost snuck one past us…again. We ask, are we too arrogant as a rugby nation and what is Razor’s comeback plan? We chat about the great Barrett dynasty and Francis Douglas Memorial and the boys devise a solution to cauliflower ear. We also dissect the internationals matches from around the world and take a deep dive into what is happening to Welsh rugby, as the once mighty dragons hit a record 18 losses in a row after succumbing to Japan.

On the last pod of the Super Rugby season, the boys talk about the grand final and yet another Crusaders victory. How they do it, nobody knows. But it’s really annoying.

Razor names his All Blacks squad to take on France and we discuss and dissect all the ins and the some big outs!

And join us in a couple of weeks as we begin Super Smack Internationals, following the All Blacks through the French series and beyond. It’s gonna be a ripper!

The Chosen Ones

On this week’s pod, the boys talk semi finals footy, with a couple of big games. We discuss the Blues exit from the competition and what they possibly got up to in their end of season celebrations, as the Crusaders extend their unbeaten finals run to 31-0. The Chiefs bounce back from last week’s TKO, to eliminate Australia’s one last hope for super rugby glory, running well away from the Brumbies in Hamilton. Ra has a rant about whinging players and we discuss the return of the beautiful biff. And in anticipation of next week’s All Black Selection, the boys pick their starting lineups for the French series. All this and much more!

This week on the pod, the confusing playoff format shows its ugly face, as the Chiefs use their one remaining life-line to advance to the semis, after a big old slip-up to the Blues in Hamilton. The Crusaders do what we all expected them to; Paste the Reds on a wet and chilly Christchurch, upholding their title as the greatest playoffs team in history. And the Canberra cockroach (Brumbies), lay some revenge eggs at GIO to derail the Hurricanes season.

The Final Countdown

On this week’s poddy, it’s almost finals time! And the boys struggle to understand the new playoffs rules and have a big old fight about it. The Chiefs say thanks very much, we’ll take top spot, as they hand the Highlanders a giant wooden spoon. The Blues silence some critics by spanking the very disappointing Tahs, and keeping the social media rivalry with their Auckland counterparts alive and kicking like an angry baby. The Canes continue their sublime winning form as they blow an utterly exhausted Moana Pasifika off the park in Welly. And the Reds play the Drua in an absolutely no-point, may-as-well-not-have-played exhibition match. It’s all to play for next week!

A Penultimate Pounding

This week on the pod, the boys investigate a murder - a absolute bloodbath on the mean streets of Hamilton, as the Chiefs mercilessly bash Moana Pasifika and leave them for dead in the alley behind Lone Star. The boys chat about the big injuries to the Hurricanes as they prepare for finals time, as well as what they’d do in a testicular emergency. Sevu finally gets the most talked about record in Super Rugby history, with an ugly (almost disallowed) try. And the Aussies bring back the biff, with a barnstormer of a match in Perth between the Force and the Tahs, including a nailbiting Super Point finale.

Battle of the Bridge

Super-Captain Ardie Savea leads his Moana men into an impressive victory over yet another NZ side, as they eye another scalp next week in Hamilton.

The Brumbies take everyone by surprise and take the top spot for the first time this season. Gareth narrowly avoids public humiliation, thanks to his beloved Hurricanes getting the job done in the 82nd minute, against the Highlanders.

Once again Sevu Reece celebrates not quite getting the most tries in Super Rugby, as under strength Crusaders still put on a fierce display against the Tahs.

And the Churchill effect was in full-force in Fiji, as the Drua put a disappointing end to the Perth boy's season.

This week on the pod, the men from the Waikato show their true metal, as they deal to the Crusaders away from home in a crucial championship clash. The Blues refuse to succumb to the Fiji hoodoo and wallop a pretty woeful Drua to keep their season well and truly alive. The super rugby State of Origin doesn’t disappoint, as the Reds assert their dominance over the Tahs in a Sydney thriller. And the Brumbies claim #2 on the table and firmly cement that they are the Aussie team to beat in 2025.

An Absolute Caning

On this week’s show, Gareth can’t stop smiling and Ra can’t stop crying, as the in-form Hurricanes finally get their revenge for last year’s semi final. The Blues put the Force to sword at the Garden of Eden, with some superb kicking skills from Angus Ta’avao. The Drua keep their home advantage well in tact, as the Reds get caught out in holiday mode in Fiji. The Brumbies cement their place as the top Aussie team, with a pasting of the Tahs in Canberra, and the hapless Highlanders lose yet another battle to an ever improving Moana Pasifika.

The table-topping Chiefs pull off a scintillating performance without their major general, DMac. It turns out that Red is definitely better than Blue in a lacklustre showing from the reining champions. The Savea brothers pull on the same uniform and do battle together for the first time since they shipped out from Wellington, the sickeningly slick Crusaders outclass the hapless Highlanders in Dunedin, and the Brumbies have an unwanted visit to the proctologist as Billy and the Hurricanes muster up a season changing victory.

The Resurrection

This special Easter round saw this season’s first draw between the Force and the Canes, after an anticlimactic ‘super point’, the Chiefs came back from the deep shame of last week and asserted their typical second half dominance to spank the men from the deep south, the Drua invoked ‘Sega na leqa’ and once again took victory at their hallowed Churchill Park, and the Blues failed at the death to get past a fired up and very mouthy and disgustingly clinical Crusaders forward pack.

Full Moon Party

This week’s full moon sees Super Rugby get a little off kilter as the lads both suffer disappointing losses. An off night for D-Mac sees a major blowout in Sydney for the top-of-the-table Chiefs, a struggle for the Hurricanes in windy Wellington against a 13-man Crusaders outfit, several more bins destroyed in the second win on the trot for the reigning champions, and a Highlanders win that’s about as rare as hen’s teeth. Oh, and the Brumbies beat the Reds…

A Real Mixed Bag

This week the boys discuss yet another scintillating second half performance from Moana Pasifika as they time their run into playoff contention. The Chiefs have snatched back their claim to the top of the table, the Hurricanes gift the Blues their second win of the season, and the Crusaders pull a swifty and try to impersonate the Fijian rugby team.
