Show Notes
The NPC has finally reached its peak, as we head into the grand final. And it’s only fitting that the number 1 & 2 teams from the competition will face each other in one last clash. Will the in-form Otago win their first title since 1998 and lock away all the silverware til next season, or will Canterbury do what Canterbury do best, pipping teams when it matters most. Who will win the battle of the South and take the crown as national provincial champion? We discuss the upcoming 2026 tour of South Africa and take a trip down memory lane as we recall our early morning wake up calls from our rugby mad childhoods. Hosted on Acast.

After a gruelling series in Africa and two fast paced Bledisloes, the All Blacks have accumulated the largest injury list in their history, basically forming a squad of walking wounded that would beat most international teams. So what does this mean for their chances going forward into the Northern leg of the Nations Cup? This time the depth really will be tested. Hosted on Acast.

The 24 year cardiac arrest continues for the Wallabies and you wouldn’t be shamed for ticking do-not-resuscitate later this week. Or maybe, just maybe the gold and green Phoenix will rise from the ashes to claim what’s left of their dignity. Only time will tell. Join the boys for a preview of this week’s Bledisloe 2 and an exciting NPC semi final round. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week on the pod, the boys discuss the team naming ahead of Bledisloe 1 at Eden park this Saturday. Is this Aussie’s best chance in years? Or are we being real and not giving them a shit show in hell? And NPC quarters are upon us - anyone but Canterbury please. Please. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The boys are back! After taking a couple of weeks off to commiserate and recuperate after being downtroued by a rampant Springboks side, the lads have surfaced to face the music and look ahead to some more All Blacks victories. We take a look at the heroics of the Wallabies and discuss whether they can keep their scintillating form and really challenge the ABs for the Bledisloe? Is 2026 finally their year? Probably not, but it’ll make for some good viewing! And Ra makes a shocking discovery about petrol. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week on the Smack, the boys lick their wounds as the ABs lose two on the trot in Africa. Did something happen to the men in black or were the Springboks just simply too good? We discuss the stand outs and who the stand-ins might be this weekend in Baltimore, as a drawn series hangs in the balance. Can each side go home with half the Stargate trophy each? All to play for!
