  • Backwards Out Of The Hands
    May 5 2026

    This week on the pod, Round 12 is done and dusted with some big results!

    The Reds stake their claim as the top Aussie side, as they send the Brumbies tumbling further down the table. Has Les finally given them the kiss of life? The Force sneak past the Tahs to stamp their mark on the comp at the business end of the season. Could they make a playoff or is it just a bit beyond reach? The Hurricanes topple the defending champion Crusaders in Wellington and reclaim their spot at the head of the table. Have they got the legs to go all the way?

    And the Blues give their farewell to Moana with an ultimate thumping out at Albany - but not without some fancy free kick moves from the home team. All this and more!

  • Just a Super Weekend!
    Apr 28 2026
    It was a super time at Super Round this weekend in Christchurch. The team headed down to the Garden City for the opening of Te Kaha, One New Zealand Stadium and it was a banger! 5 sold out games and plenty of action. The Crusaders gave their fans an opening night to remember as they put away the Waratahs with a hat trick from Dallas McLeod. The Hurricanes once again showed their dominance by destroying the Brumbies on Anzac Day with flying Fehi Fineanganofo inching ever closer to the all-time try scoring record for a single season. And it was only fitting that we went to Super Point - with the Reds and the Blues taking it down to extra time in a nail biter.

  • The Hundy Club
    Apr 21 2026
    This week on the pod! It’s no longer a theory - it seems well and truly evident that if you have a player celebrating 100 caps, you’re guaranteed a win! There’s something about a centenary celebration that gees the boys up something chronic. And this weekend was a shining example. Luke Jacobsen got his 100th crown, battering the Hurricanes defences and clinching an extra time win to see the Chiefs top of the table. Finlay Christie’s hundredth saw the Blues hold on for dear life, as the Highlanders tried but failed to get a win. And it was another 100 capper that saw one of the biggest upsets of the weekend - as the Force rallied around Harry Johnson Holmes to topple the Crusaders in Perth, making it two losses on the road for the reigning champions. It’s certainly going to be a doozy of an Anzac weekend at Super Round in Christchurch. We’ll see you there!
