Show Notes
Round 2 is done and it was a right rutting in the capital, as the Canes powered up in their bye week to well and truly murder Moana Pasifika for the 4th time in the capital. Fehi Fineanganofo decided to ruin Gareth’s fantasy with a team-effort pass in the in goal, that saw Josh Moorby take a hat trick on his first game back for the Canes since his standout season in 2024. The Chiefs gave the Highlanders a familiar dose of almost, as they powered to another win at Forsyth Barr. And the Crusaders… oh the Crusaders… lost for the second time this season to the mighty Brumbies, who look every bit a championship winning side and are duly doing their part as the cockroach of Super Rugby.

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!
