    The Wallabies Have Gone Backwards & Who Can Stop The Boks?

    Kieran Read is back from the New York Marathon (walked, mostly) and Wallaby World Cup winner Jeremy Paul joins Andy to break down a huge weekend of test rugby. We cover an emotional week for the All Blacks and the grind past Scotland at Murrayfield, the D-Mac and Beauden connection, and how the halftime adjustments won it. Then France v South Africa, the best anthems in world rugby, and Henry Pollock’s two tries in three minutes. To finish, a big Wallabies debate after England: 48 points a game conceded, rest vs. “flog them”, and whether Australia has to sacrifice Super Rugby to win a home World Cup.

    Wallabies v England, All Blacks at Murrayfield & Rennie Wasn’t Happy | Nations Championship Preview

    The Nations Championship kicks off up north this week, and World Cup winner Mike Tindall joins Jeremy Paul, Kieran Read and Justin Marshall to preview the Wallabies v England at Twickenham. Tins tells JP his greatest asset is enthusiasm (“realism, not so much”), explains the pressure on Steve Borthwick and England’s yellow-card problem, gives his take on the high-scoring Prem and the driving maul, and asks whether the northern game really needs the Nations Championship. He also shares the story of JP’s season at Gloucester, where the questions to the forwards coach went on so long the session was over before anything physical happened. Then the boys turn to the All Blacks: South Africa’s tough tour north, Scotland at Murrayfield (and whether they’ll go into their shell again), Wales 70 years without a win, and why Dave Rennie still wasn’t happy after 93 points in two Bledisloe tests. 🖤 SUPPORT NATHAN CHARLESTins and the Black Eye Rugby Fund are rallying behind former Wallaby and Gloucester hooker Nathan Charles.

    No Defence, No Fight: JP Goes Off on the Wallabies

    The Bledisloe series is done, and it ended with the All Blacks running riot over the Wallabies in Sydney. Andy Rowe, Kieran Read, Justin Marshall and Jeremy Paul start by paying tribute to young South African lock Hyron Andrews, then look at the rugby world rallying behind Nathan Charles, including the All Blacks’ special haka in the sheds. JP is back and fired up about the Wallabies’ defence. That kicks off a big debate on structure versus character. The boys also cover Beauden Barrett’s comeback, Fabian Holland and Scott Barrett running the engine room, Peter Lakai’s rise, the loose forward mix, and whether Damian McKenzie is the long-term 10 or 15. They finish with a preview of the Nations Championship as the northern tour approaches. Brought to you by Harvey Norman, the home of outdoor living. Shop the smart robotics range in store or online.

    11 Men, 1 iPhone & a Famous Win: Wallabies Stun the Boks 42-38

    The Wallabies beat the Springboks 42-38 in Perth, and they finished the game with only 11 men on the field. Andy is joined by Wallaby Jeremy Paul and former All Black Justin Marshall for a quick reaction to one of the strangest Test matches ever played. JP is thrilled and a bit shaken. Marshy calls Andy out for jumping on the bandwagon. The boys look at Len Ikitau's world-class return at 13, the TMO comms failure that had the referee taking calls on a mobile phone, and four Wallabies in the bin at once. They also cover Rassie's call to bring on eight replacements together, Harry Wilson's captaincy and choice to take the points, and why the Boks couldn't use a four-man advantage to win it. Marshy gives his common-sense fix for refereeing without a TMO. Plus Fraser McReight's big game, and a look ahead to the Bledisloe Cup opener at Eden Park. Chapters 00:00 – Intro: the Wallabies' famous 11-man win 00:38 – Marshy calls out Andy's bandwagoning 01:28 – Suaalii on the wing and Len Ikitau's class at 13 03:26 – The elephant in the room: TMO failure and "phone-gate" 04:39 – Four in the bin: were the yellow cards fair? 06:51 – Sympathy for referee Andrea Piardi 09:11 – Free-to-air exposure and a huge sporting weekend 11:04 – Why not just use the touch judges? 12:43 – Perth as the 2027 World Cup opener and Rassie's eight-man bench change 13:40 – Marshy's fix: refereeing without a TMO 15:19 – How the delays affected the game 17:07 – "Were you cooked?"

    "It's Dangerous as Hell" Jeremy Paul Unloads on Rugby's New Scrum Rule | Boks Take the Series 3-1

    Secure your entire digital life with Surfshark. Go to https://surfshark.com/gbr or use code GBR at checkout to get 4 extra months of Surfshark! Four tests, four weeks, 49 players — and the All Blacks come home 3-1 down. Kieran Read and Jeremy Paul are back in studio with Andy to work out what actually separated the two sides, and whether the gap is as big as the scoreline says.JP returns from a holiday that involved two kids in hospital, eleven days in Bali and the Jonah Lomu premiere — including the small matter of the try Jonah took off him in the 2000 Bledisloe. Kieran breaks down the blueprint from test one that the All Blacks couldn't repeat: parity at set piece, holding the line, and taking the pressure without giving away the penalties that let the Springboks kick their way up the park. Eight penalty goals to zero across the series tells its own story. Then it gets loud. Andy reads out All Blacks assistant coach Neil Barnes' post-match comments on the refereeing, and JP launches into a full-blooded rant about the new brake foot ruling at scrum time — why he thinks it's dangerous, what referees should actually be looking at, and the simple fix nobody in World Rugby has landed on. Plus: the selection calls that didn't land, Reuben Love and Cam Roigard as the long-term 9-10, whether Ardie Savea is being used properly, Jordie Barrett's claim as the world's best 12, Ethan Blackadder's return, and JP making the case that a Les Kiss Wallabies side beats the Springboks in Perth — and then the All Blacks at Eden Park.

    Tamaiti Williams on the Superbug That Ate His Spine | And Where to now for the All Blacks

    Secure your entire digital life with Surfshark — get 4 extra months free: https://surfshark.com/gbr (code: GBR) | 30-day money-back guarantee Four months in a hospital bed. Four screws in his spine. Eighteen kilos gone. And the first thing the doctors told him was that he might never walk again. All Blacks and Crusaders prop Tamaiti Williams sits down with Andy and Kieran Read for his most open interview yet on the illness that stopped his season dead. Not an injury — an illness. An MRSA superbug that settled in his back and, as he puts it, burned him out from the inside like a tree on fire. He takes us through the night he was rolling around in 10-out-of-10 pain arguing with his wife not to go to hospital, the spinal fusion, coming off morphine, the panic attacks, and where his comeback actually sits right now (no date — but he’s been cleared to run, with day one of pre-season in November). Then Tamaiti puts his front-row hat back on to break down the Springbok scrum: what makes Ox Nché so hard to hold, why mindset is half the battle, and why he’d meet fire with fire rather than run from it. Justin Marshall joins live from South Africa after the third Test at Soccer City — a Test he reckons was the real decider. Marshy on where the game slipped away, what Dave Rennie said to him at full-time, and a firm answer to the question everyone’s asking: are the All Blacks in danger of becoming rugby’s version of Bazball? Plus what has to happen in Baltimore. Brought to you by Gallagher Insurance — your trusted insurance broker, backing the show and backing the game. ───────────────────────────── 📑CHAPTERS 00:00 — Intro 01:08 — "What actually happened?" — Tamaiti on the injury that wasn't an injury 01:57 — 10 out of 10 pain, and the superbug they couldn't identify 02:49 — Four screws, a fused spine & "a tree burning from the inside" 03:45 — "One of the first things they told me is I might be in a wheelchair" 04:36 — Fading away: 140kg down to 122kg in hospital 05:11 — Morphine, coming off the meds & the panic attacks 07:07 — The road back: no date, just six-week blocks 08:08 — Cleared to run — day one pre-season, November 09:47 — Can it come back? 10:14 — Front-row masterclass: what makes Ox Nché so hard to stop 13:13 — A word from Surfshark 14:58 — How do the All Blacks get parity with that Springbok scrum? 17:23 — Pancaking, hinging & painting good pictures for the ref 19:07 — Where the third Test was lost: turnovers & Ruben Love's yellow 20:32 — Leroy Carter targeted: Kriel and de Allende going at his left shoulder 22:20 — Fearless Player of the Week, brought to you by Gallagher 23:45 — 12-all at half time — then the game slowed right down 25:27 — Giving the Springboks credit: why champions dictate 26:10 — Cutting out the errors that kill momentum 28:27 — Line-out speed & the breakdown: where the game is won or lost 29:06 — Justin Marshall live from South Africa: inside Soccer City 31:28 — Regroup: what the All Blacks do with the series on the line 35:08 — Personnel or game plan?
