  • Bereavement Leave
    The boys are back! After taking a couple of weeks off to commiserate and recuperate after being downtroued by a rampant Springboks side, the lads have surfaced to face the music and look ahead to some more All Blacks victories. We take a look at the heroics of the Wallabies and discuss whether they can keep their scintillating form and really challenge the ABs for the Bledisloe? Is 2026 finally their year? Probably not, but it’ll make for some good viewing! And Ra makes a shocking discovery about petrol.

  • Roid Rage
    This week on the Smack, the boys lick their wounds as the ABs lose two on the trot in Africa. Did something happen to the men in black or were the Springboks just simply too good? We discuss the stand outs and who the stand-ins might be this weekend in Baltimore, as a drawn series hangs in the balance. Can each side go home with half the Stargate trophy each? All to play for!

  • Flying too Close to the Sun
    This week on the pod, Test Two is done and dusted and South Africa almost had a massive aviation disaster on their hands as the celebrations got a little too wild in Cape Town. The All Blacks did everyone a favour and kept the Greatest Rivalry interesting by letting the Springboks get one on the board. It’s all to play for in Game 3! And one man has made himself the main character, soaking up a lot of attention from pundits and fans alike. We ask, who would play him in the movie of his life? Probably Rassie.

  • Rennie vs Rassie: The First Test

    This week on the pod, the lads discuss the final build up game against the Bulls, with yet another 50 point win from the All Blacks. Can the AB’s take that same speed and physicality into the first test and claim the first scalp against the world champions?

    The boys preview a possible starting 23 including standout performances from Anton Segner and Rieko Ioane and we talk Rennie vs Rassie - who can outsmart the other and take the spoils?

    And can the refs please sort out what they’re doing - are we using TMO’s or not? It’s seems nobody really knows anymore.

  • The Second Coming?
    This week on the pod, the boys review the first game of the tour against the Stormers and discover that everybody just needs to chill out. The Springboks go and prove that new player combos don’t work for anyone, as they barely scrape past a feisty Argentina side. And the NPC is back and the Ranfurly shield is on the move already has Canterbury run salt into the Otago would they opened last season.

  • Lily of the Gravy
    This week on the pod! The boys dissect the newly named squad to tour South Africa - the big inclusions and the even bigger omissions. Can the All Blacks replicate the 1996 greats and clinch a series win away from home? Or will the Boks be just too good. And the boys give a few hot tips on how to avoid sabotage by food poisoning.

  • Summation or Summary?
    Dave Rennie has started off his All Blacks coaching career in style, with 3 from 3 in the Nations Championship and a team that looks hot to trot. The boys discuss some of the stand out performances from the series and look toward the tour of South Africa. Is Beauden Barrett’s time finished at 10, or will he don the black jersey once again? And the ref blaming went to new extremes this week with Argentina losing their shit after suffering defeat at the hands of England and the Irish just can’t stop moaning about Nic Berry - despite dropping the ball 15 times and missing 32 tackles. What a world we live in!
