Pick & Go Rugby Podcast | TAB

Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go.

The Greatest Rivalery tour has started with a tough clash against the Stormers, which has certainly left the team bruised, but the ABs did come away with the victory.

The match produced a number of talking points, but a massive one was who’ll replace Billy Proctor. There is one name on everyone’s lips, but will Rugby NZ change the rules to let them play.

The other key issue was the style of offciating. Is it time World Rugby got together to ensure consistency across the game and ensure matches flow and are played at pace?

Of course NPC produced another week of exciting action where the Shield was captured by Canterbury. Will they hold onto it this week? Find out what the panel has to say.

Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go.

Paul is enjoying a break, so Karl steps into his boots for this week’s episode and that probably explains why it started on time.

It’s great to have NPC back, isn’t it? So many great stories, rivarlies all being reignited over the weekend and we look back at who made a big impression and who left us scratching our heads.

Of course, the All Blacks begin their tour of South Africa this weekend against the Stormers. What are the panel thinking in terms of the team they want to see go out and play. Is this time for experimentation or should it be about solidifing positions?

Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go.

Unlike last week, the panel is made up of only a couple of members, with Paul leading the charge and being joined by rugby union enthusiasts Karl and Searley.

Starting off the show, the lads discuss the 10 additions to the ABs squad heading to South Africa, as they point out some of the surprise inclusions and omissions.

From there, it is all about the NPC, which kicks off on Thursday, as the panel picks a team they will be following through what should be a scintillating NPC season.

To close things out in classic fashion, the team provide some of their picks for the upcoming weekend of footy.

Welcome to another week of The Advantage Line podcast.

This week, Paul has made his long-awaited return, and he and Karl are once again at the helm for the show. They are joined by a duo of NRL gurus in Searley and Nick Tedeschi to round out the panel.

We kick things off today once again with the betting recap from Round 21 action.

Then, we move into a new game where the panel, in a snake draft, choose the four teams they would hypothetically follow and support.

Next up, the team play a staple of the show, “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”.

Then, of course, the lads round off the show with their picks for this weekend’s slate.

Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go.

It’s a full house on today’s episode with Steve Devine, Jeff Wilson, Piri Weepu, and Searley all joining Paul to discuss the impressive start to this new All Black era.

Rennie may have a perfect record, but have the performances been perfect? 

Are players and fans falling back in love with the ABs after a few rough years?

Of course, the team has a break before heading off to South Africa, and does the panel think the way the ABs have started this year will be enough to beat the Boks in their own backyard?

Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go.

The All Blacks managed to dispathced Italy after a slow start, but Ireland will not be as forgiving should the ABs start the same way this weekend.

Of course, both teams will be motivated by the unbeaten streak at Eden Park and this Ireland side has momnetum and will be a major threat to the fortress.

Last week the Nations Championship was full of entertainment, but has the desire to speed up the game been slowed by the TMO. So, we’re asking when should the TMO get involed in the game and what should they be allowed to look at?

Lastly we pick our team to battle Ireland and give out predictions for how it will go.

Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go.

The All Blacks were finally back in action. 

The new look team were playing under a new regime, in a new competition against the old foe the French. 

One offence the ABs looked almost unstoppable, but on defence the team looked leaky, so what grade does Dave Rennie and the team get for their opening game.

Of course, as mentioned, the Nations Championship is a new competition so how do the panel feel it has gone, and what improvements could be made to the comp going forward?

Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go.

The Super Rugby trophy may already be collecting dust in the Hurricanes trophy cabinet as the players move switch the Super Rugby jersey for the one in Black.

That’s right! It is international season once again, and there is a new competition in town.

The Nations Championship is a new comp that will bring the best nations together in a bid to add a little more stakes to the international scene. Will it take off or be a flop? Piri and Paul discuss.

Of course, no matter what you think about the new comp, you can’t help but be excited by the sight of the ABs being back in action against a French team that has a history of causing the Kiwis problems.

How will the international season go? Find out what the panel has to say on the Pick & Go. 

Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go.

Super Rugby has a new champion, and the Hurricanes won it in impressive fashion. The game was only ever in doubt prior to kick off because once the game got started it was one sided from the off.

We look back and breakdown just how the final was won. Can the Chiefs, who again have lost a final, recover? 

Before we sign off for a couple of weeks, we have to ask, “Are the current Hurricanes the greatest ever Super Rugby team?” the answer, especially from one person in the panel, might surprise you.

It's that time, the Super Rugby Final is here and the Paul is joined by Piri, Searley and Goldie to dissect it all!
