Kooks, Shaun and Thala wrap up round 7 of the URC, which saw the Sharks beat the Stormers for the first time, the Bulls win in Connacht and the Lions narrowly losing to Munster.
We start at Kings Park and reflect on the crazy finish and how the Stormers almost stole it, how great Kolisi, Esterhuizen and Fassi were and whether Kooks is selling his Dobbo stocks.
We move to the Bulls beating Connacht and the big story of the game is Jake White’s comments about Canan Moodie gaining weight. Shaun shares his theory about where those comments come from. We lament a missed chance for the Lions to pick up a big victory over Munster, but rave about Henco van Wyk’s ridiculous solo try.
We then preview the Champions Cup and try to predict which teams won’t make the last 16. Find out why Kooks and Thala think the Bulls are well placed, why the Sharks first two weeks are super important and why the Stormers are in danger of being knocked out. In the Challenge Cup we think the Lions and Cheetahs have a good chance of getting to the knockouts.
Finally we wrap with other rugby news, including Fiji men and Australia women winning the Dubai Sevens and the seismic transfer of Ilona Maher coming to Bristol Bears and why it’s not part of a World Rugby conspiracy (at least this time).

Nghe Sau Nghe Sau Danh sách Thích Đã thíchShaun and Thala are joined by rugby journalist and broadcaster (and hot take artist) Caleb Mutombwa to review the weekend’s Autumn Nations Series. We start with the Springboks victory over England by debating who won the kicking game, the Boks taking turns to step Freddie Steward and which Boks players stocks rose and fell after this game. Caleb reports from the Steven Borthwick press conference and discusses whether the pressure on Borthwick is increasing, his selection failures and whether England are on the right track. We then look at many of the other Autumn Nations Series games over the weekend. We are in awe of the cinematic production of the haka at the Stade France in France’s victory over the All Blacks, the Wallabies extending Wales’ losing streak to 11, Italy overcoming a difficult Georgia opponent, what Ireland’s narrow victory over Argentina tells us about both teams and what Scotland can learn from playing sides like Portugal. Finally we react to the World Rugby Awards nominations which include nominations for three Springboks for men’s 15s Player of the Year, Antoine Dupont starring in the Men’s Sevens Player of the Year, a debate about the Men’s Breakthrough Player of the Year and why the Women’s 15s Player of the Year is Ellie Kildunne’s to lose. We also ask what will happen in Bok Twitter if Caelan Doris wins Player of the Year!…

We then discuss what would be success for the two top nations, the Springboks and Ireland - do they have to be unbeaten for a successful November? Which newer players might appear for both sides? We then finish off with the coaches on the chopping block.

Kooks reminds us to get excited and to hype up Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, but Shaun and Thala debate about where this leaves Manie Libbok after another unimpressive outing with the kicking tee. We discuss whether the Boks need Ruan Nortje to run their lineouts, the value of Salmaan Moerat and whether Jan-Hendrik Wessels needs to move to another franchise to get game time. On the Portugal side, Simao Bento has gained fans for life and we talk about how this young Portuguese side will continue to grow in the years to come. We then look back on a great weekend of Tier 1 v Tier 2 test matches, with Australia v Georgia and Akaki Tabusadze’s 100 meter try being the pick of the bunch. We question how the All Blacks look after their victory over Fiji, are surprised by big wins for Italy and Argentina and look at Warren Gatland’s most erecent attempt to get fired.…

Shaun discusses how Ireland took control of the game, Ciaran Frawley’s amazing drop goals and how Ireland seemed to figure out how to attack the Springboks. On the Boks side, we investigate whether there is reason to panic for the Springboks, how the Tony Brown inspired attack faltered and we reflect on some positives, like Ox Nche and Thala discusses why Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu might be an industry plant. We then look at the other internationals this week, including why England look like the best side that’s been whitewashed in a series in a while, whether Damian McKenzie passed the flyhalf audition, how exactly you stop Mark Tele’a.

Nghe Sau Nghe Sau Danh sách Thích Đã thíchJared, Shaun and Thala preview the weekend's Rugby World Cup quarterfinals now that all the teams have been announced. We start with Wales v Argentina by asking who is the bigger loss between Taulupe Faletau and Pablo Matera. Jared ponders how Argentina's high possession game plan will go against Wales being happy to defend. We pick out players to watch including Jac Morgan, Juan Martin Gonzalez and Tommy Reffell. We then look at Ireland v New Zealand and discuss how much can be taken from the last 3 All Blacks games and what weaknesses Ireland can exploit. Jared thinks the All Blacks have one more big game in them. Thala is looking forward to the battle of chirps between the War God and Sam Cane. We then preview England v Fiji and lament Fiji missing Teti Tela at flyhalf and try to figure out why Marcus Smith is playing at fullback. Jared talks about how England can stumble through the kncokout games into a final. Shaun hypes up Joe Marchant. We all ponder if Levani Botia can win this game by himself. Finally, Shaun and Thala break down the France v South Africa game now that the teams are out. We try to work out what the Boks approach will be with Reinach and Libbok starting. We look forward to more rolling mauls with Duane Vermeulen starting. We talk about the importance of a good start and scoreboard pressure, as both teams don't want to be chasing this game.

We welcome Pool D to the World Cup party after Argentina defeat Japan in an entertaining game and Samoa run England close. Shaun explains why the disallowed Samoa try wasn’t controversial and Kooks reminds us all that he picked England coming out of the group stages unbeaten. We then look at how Ireland destroyed Scotland and how many of the Scotland team should be put on Fraud Watch, how France, New Zealand and Wales dealt with Italy, Uruguay and Georgia respectively. Shaun complains about how we only saw one game of George Moala in Tonga’s victory over Romania. We then look back at the group stages and pick out moments and games that stood out and teams and players that disappointed.

We dissect the Irish victory over the Springboks. We discuss how Ireland won the breakdown battle and the brutal defence shown by both sides. We then get to the Manie Libbok and Handré Pollard debate and we discuss what each could bring to the Boks, how to accommodate both and what consequences that would have on the Springbok bench. We turn our attention to impressive Ireland and how they beat the Springboks in the gutters, the impressive Bundee Aki and when Ireland will get respect as the world number one. We then look at the Wallabies who are hanging by a thread in the World Cup after the Wallabies loss to Wales. We discuss how Wales are executing Warrenball, why Eddie Jones is rugby Doc Rivers and why Kooks has no sympathy for Rugby Australia (clue: it has to do with playing test rugby on Thursdays). We then review the other stories from Week 3, including the Antoine Dupont injury and whether France can still win without him, the epic Georgia v Portugal game, the Felipe Etcheverry fan club, what in the world Argentina are doing, how unlucky Italy and Scotland are and why the Boks should allow Steven and Aimee Kitshoff to have the week in Cannes.…

We look at what the differences were between this victory and the loss in the Rugby Championship, we split some hairs on what the Boks did not do well in the game and discuss whether the All Blacks loss exposed long standing issues or was it a rare blip. We spend some time looking at some of the selection dilemmas Jacques Nienaber still has, which include De Allende v Esterhuizen, Mostert v RG Snyman, Faf de Klerk v Jaden Hendrikse and which of the 4 wingers to pick. We then discuss Fiji’s first win over England and marvel at the discipline in Fiji’s approach, their strong tight five and kicking game, their position as the favourites in Group C of the World Cup and where to from here for England. We then round up the other weekend’s matches, including Samoa running Ireland very close, the brilliance of 2nd half Scotland against Georgia, Italy thrashing a Japan team that is looking very beatable and whether Australia’s loss to France is all part of Eddie Jones’ plan.…
