    A Proper Caning

    The 2026 Super Rugby champions have been crowned in emphatic fashion! We dissect the Hurricanes’ absolute spanking of the Chiefs, as they disappear into obscurity once again at the final hurdle. What will happen now to the old battlers? And are the Hurricanes the greatest super rugby team we’ve ever seen?  All this and the shock All Blacks omissions on this week’s pod! Hosted on Acast.

    Finally

    It’s time for the grand final and it’s exactly the final we all wanted. Hurricanes vs Chiefs - the two best teams in the competition facing each other in the ultimate showdown for the first time ever in the history of Super Rugby. It’s shaping up to be one of the greatest finals of all time.  Will the Hurricanes home advantage give them their first championship in 10 years, or will the Chiefs break their finals hoodoo and take the trophy they’ve been so desperately close to claiming for the last few years? It’s gonna be a doozy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Shoulda Gone Straight to Semis

    This week on the pod - after all that, it’s the top four as it finished in the regular season. Go figure. The Hurricanes & Chiefs secured their spots with big wins over the Aussie sides…and the Crusaders convincingly put away the Blues in what was really just a dead rubber. The Blues took the lucky loser card and get a chance to square up once again this weekend. We also saw some BIG HITS and some big injuries that have left some key players in doubt for the semi-finals, and it seems well and truly like HIA protocols are optional these days! Will the Chiefs finally lift their Crusaders hoodoo? Will anybody turn up to the Cake Tin? And who deserves this final two spots in 2026? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Three Quarters

    This week on the pod, it’s time for three-quarter finals. We preview the upcoming games: who will make it to the next round, and who will be the coveted lucky loser? Could the Hurricanes and the Chiefs suffer upsets to their bogey teams, the Reds and the Brumbies? Or will home advantage be too much for our Aussie counterparts? And the Blues face a seemingly impossible task of playing in front of a sold-out Te Kaha Stadium against a rampantly building Crusaders side. Don’t say it. Don’t say it. Hosted on Acast.

    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. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    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. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    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 for more information.
