Pick & Go Rugby Podcast | TAB

Welcome back to the Pick and Go podcast.
 
Paul is joined by Jeff Wilson and a very late to the studio Piri Weepu.
 
The French have conquered the All Blacks and stopped the AB’s momentum, but is there reason to be cheerful about the performance or are there still some worrying signs that the ABs aren’t progressing fast enough.
 
South Aftrica also took on England and put in an impressive showing. Were South Africa good, or were England just poor?
 
Lastly, what can be done about the officiating in rugby? Is the game being over refereed?

Welcome back to the Pick and Go podcast.
 
Paul is joined by Piri and Searle to look at the weekend’s big rugby action.
 
The All Blacks chucked off the underdog name and defeated the Irish in a heated affair. Were the media and the bookies wrong to have labeled the ABs underdogs in the first place.
 
Are we starting to see a new All Blacks side emerge under Razor’s management?
 
Also, with the rivalry continuing off the field, is this what rugby needs to get bums in seats.
With Australia taking out England, are the Wallabies back in terms of a serious rugby threat?
 
The panel look ahead to France and what is unique about playing the French that makes them such a dangerous team to play.

Welcome back to the Pick and Go podcast.
 
Paul is joined by Piri and Blake Ayshford.
 
Of course, from any good rugby podcast our trio is talking about snacks and toasted sandwiches and there might be some of the most controversial opinions we’ve had on the pod this year.
 
The chaps are looking back at the England v All Blacks test. They look at what went right, what went wrong and how has cemented their place in the team going forward.
 
As we start thinking about the next World Cup are there any players who are already on the team sheet.

Welcome back to the Pick and Go podcast! What a NPC final.

100 minutes of action that was as good of an advertisement for the game as you could hope for. Piri, Paul and Searle will be breaking down all the key moments from Wellington's win.

They'll also be looking at better ways to decide the outcome of drawn matches. Is the team with the most tries the best tiebreaker or should rugby take inspiration from soccer?

Of course, the other big event coming up is the All Blacks facing England. This is still an All Blacks team that is in transition so do any of our panel think England have a chance against this unsettled ABs side?

Welcome back to the Pick and Go podcast.
 
Paul is joined by Searle and Piri Weepu and they preview the upcoming game against Japan.
Which players need to put in a solid performance to cement their place in the team and what position has the most competition for places?
 
Of course, we can’t not talk about the amazing weekend of sport where Kiwis took out the Women’s T20 World Cup, America’s Cup and had test match victories.
 
But we get back to rugby by breaking down the NPC Semi-Finals and discussing who will win the NPC.

Welcome back to the Pick and Go podcast.
 
Paul is joined by Searle and Piri Weepu and they are looking at changing the rules of Rugby Union.
 
Should there be more points for kicking drop goals from further distances or would that slow down the game too much, or would a points increase actual give appropriate value to a very difficult skill?
 
The NPC reaches the Semi-Final stage and the group have a number of hunches about who will make it through and who’ll go on to win the entire competition. Even Piri gives a hunch after a long self-imposed hiatus.
 
We start looking ahead to the Northern Tour and what effect it could have on the NPC going forward

Razor has picked his squad for the Northern Tour and how do our panel of Paul, Piri, Jeff and Searle rate it?

Is this playing things a little too safe or is getting wins more important to build consistency?

With any All Blacks squad there are those who have missed out, and with the squad looking like a series of safe picks, who do our panel think has been unlucky to not make the cut?

With Auckland misses in the NPC quarter finals, should the area be concerned about their lack of representation.

Finally the group break down each team’s chances to make the NPC semi-finals.

Welcome back to the Pick and Go podcast.

Paul is joined by Searle and Jeff Wilson as they dissect the Rugby Championship.

With the Northern Tour now just around the corner, who hurt their chances of being in the squad and who has cemented their place in the squad?

The big question is should NZ relax the stance on using overseas players, or would that weaken the domestic game?

Rugby is under pressure like never before so would can be done to maintain the game?

We look at the NPC coming up, will big teams be missing out on this year’s playoffs?

Lastly the trio make their Ranfurly Shield predictions.

Welcome back to the Pick and Go Podcast.

The Bledisloe Cup is safely locked away for another year, so can we look back at this year's Rugby Championship as a success after all?

With the cup done after one match, is there a way to keep the second test between the All Blacks and the Wallabies interesting?

Despite the win, the ABs were given a scare against Australia once again struggled as the game went on, who do the panel think is keeping their place in the team moving forward?

The NPC is about to enter its final stages who will be making a late run to finish the season?

Welcome back to the Pick and Go Podcast.

The Bledisloe Cup returns and the All Blacks will be looking to turnaround their fortunes after two straight loses to the Springboks.

Australia will also be hurting and will want to take advantage of an All Blacks team still undergoing a rebuild under Razor.

With such an important game coming up, with so much riding on it, will Razor revert to a tried and tested team or still ring in the changes?

The NPC continues to excite with a number of entertaining games coming up this weekend.
