  • Episode 31 - Ben Castle

    Ben Castle joins us to share some fantastic yarns from his life before, during and after pro rugby. From schoolboy rugby memories, to Dunedin club rugby to Simms Davison convincing the Bay of Plenty coach to bring him up north where he was chucked straight in the deep end by rooming with a few Steamers legends (who certainly made him earn his stripes). Get the behind the scenes of the Steamers iconic Ranfurly Shield victory and the 3 day bender that ensued as well as what it was like to run out against the British and Irish Lions. Find out how rugby compares in NZ, Australia, France and Wales as well as the crazy situation Toulon had to go through in order to sign Sonny-Bill. All this rounded out with some yarns about working in the commentary scene and what he's been up to post rugby.

  • Episode 30 - Ryan Nicholas

    Ryan Nicholas joins us on the podcast to chat about his journey into rugby and beyond. Tune in to hear his memories of juggling life as a scarfie whilst breaking into one of the best Otago sides in history, what it was like being a part of the Highlanders sides of the early 2000's and whether or not an All Black call up was ever on the cards. All that before we delve into his career over in the land of the rising sun, how special it was to return to New Zealand to play in a World Cup and the the reasons why he had to turn down a surprising offer from a non-kiwi Super Rugby side as well as a French giant. The pod is then rounded out by some listener questions which bring about some interesting conversations about the sort of skits his Japanese team mates put on and much more.

    Scott Waldrom joins us to share some fantastic yarns. From being outshone by his bigger built younger brother and toiling away in a bang average St Pats 1st XV to pulling on a black jersey, this man has done a lot in rugby. He shares countless stories of his off field antics, from making jackass videos, to pranking Justin Marshall and even what the worst place to visit on the World Sevens circuit was. As well as this we chat about plenty of on field highlights and lowlights such as a Ranfurly Shield triumph, how tough it was to bounce back from countless injuries and what it is like to run out for the All Blacks.
