It’s Kids Round!!!

It’s Kids Round!!!

This week on the pod, it’s the final round of the regular season and there’s 4 team fighting for their place on the ladder. And the ridiculous ‘lucky loser’ system is back again this year, meaning someone will get through even if they lose their quarterfinal - make it make sense!  Angus Gardner was up to his usual tricks - telling players off like a deputy principal or shocked granny.  And With no Will Jordan, and no DMac, this weekend’s games are very much up for grabs. Will the big 2 rest their star players ahead of the finals? Or should they put the foot on the throat? Make sure to tune in next week as we have some very special guests joining us for a finals preview! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Knocked the F*** Out

This week on the pod, it’s crunch time in Super Rugby Pacific with two big rounds to go before the finals. Some epic match ups are on the cards, with 3 confirmed teams in the playoffs and 7 others all vying for spots in the top 6. It really could go each and every way. Will the Hurricanes continue their dominance and claim the title of minor premiers, or can the Chiefs chase them down? And with a horrific injury to Caleb Tangitau, who’s in line to be our All Blacks wingers? ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Oh Deary Me

This week on the Smack! The boys discuss the finals before the finals - as the top teams of the competition all face off against each other in the dying rounds. Are the Crusaders timing their run to perfection YET AGAIN? Was the Horse ban just a elaborate ruse to lull us all into a false sense of security before they cast their biggest spell? There is some serious controversy stirring around the refereeing decisions this season, with some shocker calls across multiple games - and the people are outraged.  The Chiefs hang on against the Reds in the Battle of the Bogans in Queensland and a Hurricanes B team give Moana another spanking. Will the injuries to Ruben Love and Cam Roigard leave the Canes exposed heading into finals time, or have they got a good enough team to push on through? ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Backwards Out Of The Hands

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! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Just a Super Weekend!

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. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
