Elite Rugby Banter

The Boks put the English pretenders to the sword as Phil and Ant discuss the emphatic victory while checking in on Wales and Australia attempting to have a worse year than each other, and discussing the woes of the Sharks in the URC.

No, they're not talking about the decision to ban Rassie from social media, but rather the exclusion of a certain Southern Hemisphere duo from the official team of the year. In a rare turn of events, South Africa is the one shining light for the southern hemisphere, primarily because they know what necks are, and how not to touch them.

Another week, another close defeat for the Springboks on tour. The disappointed yet still hopeful panel closes out the Women's Rugby World Cup, does their best to defend Pieter-Steph ahead of his disciplinary hearing, debates modern rugby hairstyles, and go full Dan Brown on the French TMO or the lack thereof.

Ant, Phil, and Andrew review the bumper weekend of international rugby, covering the semifinals of the Women's Rugby World Cup (which year is it?), the 7s, and the Test matches. Catharsis and verbal therapy (read-Bok bashing) are met by talking up Italy, despairing about Scotland despite a victory, celebrating Argentina's renaissance, and taking a token shit on Wales (thanks, Ben).

With so much to cover, Phil and Ant ditch Andrew to fly through the various goings-on from the last week in the world of rugby, including, but not limited to Henco not knowing he's made the Bok Squad, and the All Blacks continuing to climb the red card tally.

Phil shits on Bafana Bafana, NZRU are more All Blacks than Black Ferns, Jack Dempsey is not Scottish (and does Charles Piutau have tattoos?), and a URC wrap.

World Cup heartbreak, Jantjies yanked, and Ant calls Evan Roos a flat track bully (but not to his face).

Ant makes a welcome return to the pod as the team discusses whether Steven Kitshoff is better off assimilating with other redheads through his current move to Ulster or at the Auckland Blues, the eerie and magnificent Black Ferns' haka at the opening round of the World Cup, and the latest in South African dominance, Welsh capitulation, and Irish petulance in the URC.

Adam, Phil, and Andrew dissect the latest round of United Rugby Championship action and preview what lies in store for the Springbok Women at the Rugby World Cup 2021 (sic).

Phil and Andy run the rule over the last round of the Rugby Championship and the second round of the URC, and end by selecting their Team of the Tournament for the former.
