Welcome back to the Pick and Go podcast.
 
Australia look like they might be back to their very best & that is great news for the game of rugby. The team on the PAG look back at Australia’s comeback win against South Africa and try to figure out what happened.
 
Are South Africa falling from grace, while Australia rises like a phoenix from the flames?
 
New Zealand were also playing in some very testing conditions against a very strong Argentina side who would be looking to beat NZ on home soil, but a solid performance - even if it wasn’t spectacular - meant the ABs took the W.
 
With those two results the Rugby Championship has been blown wide open.
NPC continues its exciting start and the panel will be look ahead to all this weekend’s exciting action.

Guest starring alongside Piri on today’s episode is Jeff Wilson and Searley and they’ll be breaking down the recent AB’s squad that’ll be taking on Argentina in the Rugby Championship.

 We look back at last week’s NPC action and it seems there is already a surprise package this year.

Welcome back to the Pick and Go podcast.
\ 
The NPC is back, and it is bang with a bang!
 
It seems there are plenty of players who still have a lot to give the game of rugby as a couple of legends help Waikato overcome Auckland in a thrilling opener to the NPC season.
 
We look over the All Blacks squad and who has been a surprise inclusion?

Is this getting closer the the squad and style we can expect from Razor in the future or is this still an experimental period. 

The Wallabies avoided a 3-0 series loss with a tough display against the Lions, but should this Wallabies side have won the series?

Welcome back to a new very special episode of the Pick and Go podcast.
 
A few weeks ago, Piri told the story of meeting some fellas after winning the 2011 Rugby World Cup, and we managed to track them down.

So, we reunite Piri and hear from Jordon and Evan about their experience and what it was like for them to meet Piri and drink from the trophy.
 
The Lions have sealed the series against Australia, meaning that the third test is a dead rubber, so we ask the question: What can be done to still add some drama to a dead rubber game.
 
NPC is also kicking off this week and we look at who is looking good to take out the title this year and who might be the surprise package of the season ahead.

Welcome back to a new episode of the Pick and Go podcast.
 
So, another test against the French and another win, but how do we feel after? Has the latest victory put any doubts to bed or it merely raised more questions about the team going forward?
 
The other big match up was of course the first game between the Wallabies and the Lions. An impressive display from both teams has set up an intriguing second test.
 
The NPC is also beginning its season and there is plenty to go over ahead of the first game.

Welcome back to a new episode of the Pick and Go podcast.
 
After the first test against France there were mixed feelings going into the second. Were the All Blacks rusty, or were the French way better than we gave them credit for? Was there cause for concern?
 
Well, it seems the Real Razor All Blacks have arrived and they arrived in style.
 
Not only was the win in the second test against France comprehensive, the ABs played with a style and flair that we’ve come to expect from the ABs coach.
 
Is this a signal that NZ rugby is evolving?
 
After last week’s revelations about call ups and presents, Piri Weepu once again takes us behind the current of life as an All Black.

Welcome back to a new episode of the Pick and Go podcast.
 
The All Blacks faced their first test of the season and the French certainly showed up despite reports that the real French team were still in France.
 
Jeff Wilson and Piri Weepu take us back to their beginnings with the All Blacks. With a number of players making their All Blacks debut the pair reveal what it is really like to get the call that you’ve made the team and how the veterans react to the new kids on the block.
 
We look back at that All Blacks vs France clash and try and see what we can learn from it. Were the French better than we thought, or were the ABs a little rusty?
 
There were also a number of other teams involved on the weekend, which player did Jeff Wilson call one of the best in the world based on their latest performance?

Welcome back to a new episode of the Pick and Go podcast.
 
All eyes turn to the All Blacks as the French look to face Razor’s new look team with players keen to impress knowing that we are entering the early stages of World Cup season.
 
What can we expect from this first test, and will Razor need to improve on his first few games to prevent doubt and worry creeping into the thoughts of the fan base.
 
There were a number of matches at the weekend, so we look at who was the stand out performance.
The Lions also continue their prep in the lead up to their first test against Australia.

Welcome back to a new episode of the Pick and Go podcast.
 
So that’s it! Another season of Super Rugby has come to a close.
 
The Crusaders are champions once again, and the Chiefs are also - once again - the runners up. Media discussion focused on the validity of a possible Chiefs win, given their loss against the Blues, but should we be questioning the Crusaders’ win given they didn’t even finish top of the table?
 
Ardie took out the Player of the Year, but who do our panel think was worthy of the title?
 
Talk will now start turning towards the All Blacks as they begin building a team to face France. Is it too early to start thinking about World Cup places?
 
Who are the surprise picks, and what can we expect from the team based on the Razor’s selections?

Welcome back to a new episode of the Pick and Go podcast.
 
Here we are, the Super Rugby final. It is the Chiefs vs Crusaders… actually thanks to the playoff format it is actually Crusaders vs Chiefs.
 
Does the former undermine what has been an exciting Super Rugby season, or has it added to the drama.
 
Our panel will be looking at all the talking points from the Semi-Finals and asking who’ll be coming out on top on the weekend.
 
Of course, attention will start turning towards to All Blacks, but for now, let’s enjoy the climax of the Super Rugby season.
