    Aussies to end Eden Park streak? | Pick & Go 2026 | Ep35
    Oct 5 2026
    Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go. The Aussies are coming and they are riding a wave of confidence into Eden Park, so is the streak under threat or has the win against South Africa created false hope for the team in mustard. The All Blacks will name their team later in the week, but we have a crack at naming the team to face the All Blacks. Will the Aussies use the same tactics as South Africa used to beat the All Blacks? The NPC has reached the playoffs, so we ask who was the MVP of the regular season? What a massive weekend of rugby.

    Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go. Have we solved the lack of entainment at the NRL Grand Final? NPC rolls into the last week of the regular season and will Wellington go an entire season without picking up a win? How will history look back at this Wellington team? Are they just unlucky or just poor? We breakdown that impressive Aussie win against the South Africans in one of the great test matches, but what made Jeff Wilson decide to change channel? Lastly, the powers of NZ Rugby had a meeting about how to save domestic rugby, so we ask the panel, just how do you make changes to the game in New Zealand?

    Sep 22 2026
    Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go. New Zealand commentary legend, Grant Nisbett returns to the brand new couch this week as we look back at an exciting week of NPC action. Of course, we wouldn’t make him go it alone with Paul so Jeff Wilson and Steve Devine fill out panel. As the NFL has just started we thought it would be a good idea to ask which players from the NPC could make it in the NFL? Which players has the speed, height, and skill to be a top quarterback? NPC is entering its final weeks of the regular season, and with 5 teams still in contention for top spot everything is all to play for with two games remaining. Who do you see taking out this year’s NPC crown?

    Mind The Gap | Pick & Go 2026 | Ep32
    Sep 15 2026
    Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go. Piri Weepu and Steve Devine join us for today’s episode and we try to figure out where it went wrong for the ABs in both Baltimore and the Greatest Rivalry Series. Was there anything New Zealand could have done or is the gap in quality between the sides just too big? The question becomes can the gap be closed between now and next year’s World Cup or will it take a miricle for South Africa not to be crowned champions once again. Lastly NPC is nearing the end of the regular season and Wellington’s woes continue and can they turn things around and end on a high before the season ends?

    Does Baltimore Count? | Pick & Go 2026 | Ep31
    Sep 8 2026
    Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go. Piri Weepu rejoins the pod, and just in time to give us his feedback on the ABs performance in South Africa and what New Zealand can do to close the gap. The series isn’t over with one game yet to come, but should the Baltimore game count as an official series game, with the lack of South African atmosphere, would beating SA in Baltimore mean as much? Lastly, it looks like Wellington will finish bottom of the NPC, so without relegation, would should the punishment be for the team that finishes bottom of the NPC?

    Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go. Grant Nisbett is back on the Pick & Go, somehow he wasn’t put off from his appearance on the show last week. He and Steve Devine join Paul Maoate to breakdown the second test and try to find where it went wrong for the ABs. We promise, we only talk about the plane flyover for a moment and then we are back talking about rugby. So, it is 1-1 in the series, and we debate if the next game is the official decider and should the Baltimore match count as a part of the series. Lastly, we discuss the NPC as we reach the cross the halfway stage of the comp.

    Aug 25 2026
    Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go. We are joined by, what many call the voice of rugby, Grant Nisbett to breakdown that opening test between New Zealand and South Africa. We’re also lucky enough to have Steve Devine join us from South Africa to tell us how South Africans reacted to the first result. Of course, it isn’t over yet, with the second test right around the corner. We look at where the game was won, and what lessons can both teams take into the second game? With changes having a huge impact on the game, does New Zealand now have the claim to having rugby’s best bomb squad?

    Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go. Here we go! The first test against South Arrica is here and it is looking like it’ll be a classic. Rennie’s new look team have looked impressive & have beaten teams like Italy, France and Ireland, but challenges don’t get bigger than South Africa in South Africa. After last week saw a ref overrule the TMO, we are again talking about TMOs and how much they should get involved in games and if they do, what should that look like. Finally Steve Devine and Searley are putting in all on the line in the battle of the bridge NPC game.
