Podcasts about all blacks

Sean Maloney joins Brett McKay and Harry Jones on The 8/9 Combo Rugby Podcast, fresh from the SVNS World Series circuit rolling from Dubai to Cape Town, and ready to wrap up the rugby year for the SANZAAR nations. There's the Springboks' disgusting embarrassment of playing depth riches, there's the All Blacks' surprising and maybe infuriating conservatism, there's the Wallabies sending flowers but then not showing up at the in-laws, and then there's Argentina, who might just be timing their run to the 2027 RWC beautifully. #rugby #rugbypodcast #89Combo #internationalrugby #NovemberTests #AutumnNationsSeries #SouthAfrica #NewZealand #Ireland #France #England #Argentina #Australia #Scotland #Fiji #Italy #Wales #Japan Find us: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@8-9Combo?sub_confirmation=1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1BcKhb24YOtwQhKc0S3sDm Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-8-9-combo-rugby-podcast/id1729575866 Social media: #89Combo Twitter: https://twitter.com/89combo BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/89combo.bsky.social Find Brett and Harry on both Twitter and on BlueSky: @BMcSport + @HaribaldiJones Music: "Stalling" by Topher Mohr & Alex Elena (via YouTube Creator Studio) Voiceovers by Chookman + Sean Maloney Learn more about your ad choices.

In episode two of our bumper Champions Cup preview, Ashy and Chris catch up with Lions hero Hugo Keenan who reflects on his winning try in the MCG and Leinster's ambition to add fifth star to the jersey. High-flying Sale winger Tom Roebuck looks back on his breakthrough autumn with England and reveals he scored his try against the All Blacks with a broken toe! Pau are back in the tournament for the first time in 25 years and Joel Kpoku tells us they are keen to make a splash and targeting their opener against Northampton. Scarlets are also back in the competition and we sit down with their captain Josh Macleod for an open and honest conversation about how tough it is to be a Welsh player right now with all the uncertainty around the club game.

With the conclusion of the 2025 All Blacks season, it's time for some scrutiny. The year was filled with a mixed bag of performances, all of which will be analysed in the end of year reviews. Coaching guru Wayne Goldsmith told Piney the question is whether what we're seeing is a team building towards greatness in two years, or a team that's lost the plot. Once that's been nailed down, he says, that's when you figure out what needs to be changed, when, and how you'll know if that works. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the Weekend Sport with Jason Pine Full Show Podcast for 29th November 2025, could New Zealand be the host for the 2034 Commonwealth Games?

In this week's NZ Sporting History, we go behind the scenes to speak to a man who has coached many of our finest teams in mental toughness - and worked out how to find that winning edge. Author of Become Unstoppable, Gilbert Enoka is best known for his time with the All Blacks - he worked with them for 23 years - during which time they won two Rugby World Cups and dominated the Tri Nations and Rugby Championship series'. Now other international teams are calling on his insight - in fact Gilbert joins Jesse fresh from working with the English cricket team in Australia as they attempt to regain the Ashes.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. Education: 8/10 The maths trial results this week were a tangible example of the simple truth that if you concentrate on something and work hard, you will win. The All Blacks: 6/10 They did better than the critics seem to suggest. Rugby has changed but the attitude on expectation and winning hasn't. This isn't 1986. Regional councils: 8/10 Bold call, good call. We will be better off for the call. Ginny Andersen and steak: 6/10 Who had her down as a surreptitious food stealer? Rachel Reeves: 2/10 Have a look at her work on taxes and ask yourself how far-removed Barbara Edmonds is - or isn't. Surrender by Thursday: 4/10 Wasn't that yet another harebrained thought bubble by a bloke who looks increasingly unhinged, or tired, or old, or mad. Or possibly all of those things.

Four happy men in the studio this week after a blockbuster weekend of Quilter Nations rugby. England made it 11 wins on the bounce despite late fireworks in their clash with Argentina, Jim's beloved Scotland stuck a half-century on Tonga without conceding a point, and Wales showed real ticker in a brave performance against the All Blacks. But the headline act was in Dublin, where South Africa and Ireland produced one of the craziest Test matches we've ever seen – five yellows, a red, scrum carnage, psychological warfare from Rassie, and Irish fans and Boks fans going at it online. The lads break down the madness, look at England's growing depth and midfield options, debate the Curry–Contepomi tunnel drama, assess Wales' best showing of the autumn, dig into Scotland's momentum and Townsend rumours, and ask whether France now boast the best young backline in world rugby.

See acast.com/privacy for more information.

South Africa and Ireland finally squared off in Dublin… and instead of the blockbuster we were promised, we got a full-blown scrum-a-thon of Biblical proportions. The Bok scrum was so dominant it bordered on performance art, Ireland simply ceased to exist in certain dimensions of reality. Add a stack of cards and the whole thing descended into glorious, farcical chaos. (And no, we're absolutely not criticising the match itself… because we enjoy being alive. Wink.)England keep marching forward, seeing off a spirited Argentinian comeback as Los Pumas continue to prove they're becoming a genuine world force. The All Blacks had their turn to comfortably dismiss Wales… though if you squint, you might spot a green shoot or two for the Welsh. Maybe. Hard to say. Probably not.And over in the “Shambosal Tour of Doom,” Australia rack up their fourth straight loss in Europe — their worst run since 1965 — this time falling to a red-hot French team. At least there were a couple of absolute pearler tries to soften the blow.All that, plus plenty of rugby chat, nonsense, tangents, and the usual helping of BSGrab a beer and enjoy!

Strap in for a bumper episode of Elite Rugby Banter as Ant and Phil break down a truly bizarre and brutal Test match in Dublin. The Springboks were undeniably dominant against Ireland, so why did it feel so close? We dive into the FIVE Irish cards, the scrum carnage, the bizarre refereeing decisions, and the James Ryan incident that left us speechless. Then, we shift gears to crown the best of the best. With the international season wrapped up, we unveil our official Elite Rugby Banter World XV of the Year. Who made the cut in our entirely objective and completely undisputed dream team? There are shock inclusions, controversial snubs, and a healthy dose of banter as we debate the standout players from 1 to 15. It's all here: analysis of the Boks' tour, the state of the All Blacks, England's rise, and our prestigious end-of-year awards. You won't want to miss it! Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show.

England stay undefeated, the Boks brutally smash Ireland's pack, and the Autumn Internationals kick up more talking points.Marc, Ryan & Max break down every huge moment — from red cards and hat-tricks to tunnel bust-ups and record breakers.

Welcome back to the Pick and Go! It's the last episode of 2025 after what has been a very long and interesting season, filled with some C-class tipping, surprising results, and a whole lot of unanswered questions. The lads kick things off by being asked the big one: what do they rate the All Blacks out of 10—and why? After what could be considered a just-above-average international season, the ABs showed flashes of what they can do, but also left fans with plenty of uncertainty and inconsistency. How do we trust them going into next year? Have they lost their aura? With the All Blacks' final game of the season now in the books, the lads dissect the 50 points they put on Wales. Were we satisfied with that? They also dive into a full review of the South Africa vs Ireland test—a match full of drama with multiple yellow cards and a red. Are Australia and Joe Schmidt under some pressure after getting beaten by France to close out their tour? To wrap up this season's podcast, the lads give out some way-too-early predictions for 2026: who's going to win Super Rugby, who takes out the NPC, and the tough question of all tough questions—how many games do they think the All Blacks will lose next year?

Welcome back to the Pick and Go Podcast! Despite an impressive opening 20 minutes from the All Blacks, England came out swinging, determined to crush their grand slam hopes. What began as a promising display quickly unraveled the All Blacks' attack looked disjointed, at times even schoolboy-like, while England simply wanted it more.Wales finally broke their 19-game drought with a gritty one-point win over Japan a result that brought much-needed relief and belief back into their camp. Ireland, meanwhile, comfortably put Australia to bed. The Wallabies looked tired, mentally drained, and still feeling the aftereffects of a long and punishing Lions campaign. The All Blacks now face Wales this weekend to close out the northern tour. After a mixed series of performances, fans will be hoping the men in black can finish strong and remind everyone what this team is truly capable of when they find their rhythm.

Who were the big winners and losers this autumn? Ugo, Danny and Chris reflect on what we've learnt this November. Who has progressed and who has regressed? The Springboks have cemented their place at the top of the world game but who would win between them and the great All Blacks team from 2015? The officiating has been a huge talking point over the past four weeks, particularly after events in Dublin this weekend. How do we get the balance right between collision and evasion in the modern game as we strive for player safety? We reflect on Malcolm Marx being crowned World Player of the Year and pick our players of the autumn.

The All Blacks will review their campaign in the coming weeks as they take stock of a mixed year. The side are heading home in groups as they contemplate a 10-win, three-loss record.

The All Blacks season is over, with the team rounding out their year with a comfortable win over an inexperienced Wales side in Cardiff. The Scott Robertson coached side failed to claim a Grand Slam on their Northern tour after a defeat to England, and finish 2025 with 10 wins and three losses. That sounds pretty good, but it was the nature of those three defeats, and some other inconsistencies, that has some pundits concerned about the team's progress two years out from the next World Cup. Rugby reporter Joe Porter runs the ruler over the All Blacks year.

It's Nations Pod time and for the second week in a row Tom is reeling from another painful defeat for Scotland. After the capitulation against Argentina he believes now is the time for a new head coach. Wales are off the mark under Steve Tandy, but their issues were still laid bare despite the narrow win over Japan. GRO gives us the lowdown on darts-loving uncapped flanker Harri Deaves who is part of the Wales team tasked with facing the All Blacks. Ireland and South Africa renew their rivalry, England go in search of an 11th successive win and Tom gives reveals his favourite drinking spot in Dublin.

The last time the All Blacks lost to Wales there was no Harbour Bridge in Auckland, Elvis Presley hadn't released any music and Queen Elizabeth II was about to make her first visit to New Zealand. The Welsh will need to channel the spirit of 1953 - the year they beat the All Blacks 13-8 - if they want to taste victory once again. But do they have any shot at snapping this seven-decade streak? Sports reporter Jamie Wall spoke to Lisa Owen.

Sam Whitelock knows pressure. He's captained the All Blacks through some of rugby's most intense moments. He's made high-stakes decisions with the weight of a nation on his shoulders. And now, he's turned that same grit and composure to life on the farm.  But here's what Sam's learned. Real leadership isn't about powering through at all costs. It's knowing when to push and when to pause. When to speak and when to listen. And how to look after yourself, so you can lead others well.  In this episode, Sam opens up about his transition from rugby to farming, the lessons he's learned along the way, and how the principles of leadership he honed on the field apply to farming life. From managing stress and communicating effectively to balancing the demands of family and business, Sam offers practical insights that can help anyone facing the pressures of modern-day farming.  We cover:  The parallels between leadership on the rugby field and managing a farming business, and how both environments require clear communication, calm decision-making, and showing up for your team.  The importance of staying grounded and managing stress in high-pressure situations.  The impact of Farmstrong, a wellness initiative supporting farmers' mental and physical health.  The challenges of farming and why building a support network and taking time off are key to long-term success.    Whether you're managing a farm or a team, Sam's reflections remind us that leadership is not just about being in control. It's about being self-aware enough to step back and ensure your own well-being is a priority.    Sam, thank you for sharing your journey with us and for reminding us that good leadership starts with taking care of ourselves.    For all our listeners, if you're looking for resources to support your mental and physical health, be sure to check out Farmstrong. And if you're in Australia, I encourage you to get involved with Active Farmers, a great initiative supporting rural communities.    Keep leading, keep caring, and keep supporting your mental well-being.    Sincerely,    Jeremy Hutchings & the Farm Owners Academy Team

A revamped All Blacks side has been tasked with maintaining an almost 72-year unbeaten legacy against Wales on Sunday morning in Cardiff. Three players —captain and lock Scott Barrett, flanker Simon Parker and Will Jordan, who shifts to the right wing— remain in the run-on side from last week's loss to England. Ardie Savea and Codie Taylor are among the players rested...along with Cam Roigard and Beauden Barrett. Newstalk ZB Rugby Commentator Elliott Smith told Mike Hosking much like the bronze medal match at the Rugby World Cup, no one really wants to play it. He says it feels more like a box ticking exercise, but they've got to get through it, come home with a win, and then face what comes over the course of the summer.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. Uber: 3/10 The Supreme Court may have read the law, which means the law needs changing, because what the four drivers wanted and won is not what the gig economy is all about. Ferries: 6/10 Two ships, a big saving, and an improvement on what we have. Job done. Tory Whanau: 2/10 She's moving to Melbourne. See? Not every loss is a loss. The All Blacks: 3/10 Oh, how different this week could have been. Wales seems like such a lowlight. Opportunity: 6/10 As in the political party. I admire their pluck and determination and staying power, I'm just not convinced there is 5% there to be had.

This week on Two Cents Gets Distracted, the All Blacks served up a bowl of crap to their fans as England handed us a brutal loss, crushing our hopes, rattling the fanbase, and putting Razor and his coaching staff squarely under the blowtorch. And yes, we rant about it. At length. With feeling. Meanwhile, the Boks battled past a fired-up Italian outfit despite copping a red card that may go down as one of the worst decisions of the entire rugby year. Ireland absolutely pumped the Aussies, Wales finally remembered what a win feels like, and Argentina pulled off an outrageous comeback because of course they did — they're Argentina. All that plus a whole lot of BS chat, whinging, therapy, and emotional processing about the state of the All Blacks. Buckle in. It's a spicy one.

This week on Elite Rugby Banter, we unpack a weekend of rugby that felt like it was scripted by a mischievous referee with a flair for theatre. The Boks beat Italy, but the real drama was in the card deck — with Eddie Jones still talking about “intent” like it's a legal thriller. KLA ghosted again, Moodie's defence was more interpretive dance than tackle technique, but Dwilly was electric and Manie continued to Manie with reckless charm. Pollard? Somewhere between solid and spectral. If you're not betting on Bok 9s to score, you hate free money. And Rassie's bench moves? Chef's kiss. Across the channel, England stunned the All Blacks and now we're all asking: are they actually good? Is this real? Who's in the top five now — and does anyone agree? BBBB caught some heat, but the real fire was in the discourse. Ireland beat Australia, but only the wrong Aussies shone. Ireland looked better, but was that just because Australia are now a rugby ghost town? Scotland lost to Argentina, and surely Tooney's seat is now lava. Meanwhile, Argentina continue to “prove” they're a top team — despite having done so for five years, three World Cup semis, and wins over basically everyone. Can we retire the “on their day” trope? And yes, Japan played Wales. It's a week of hot takes, cold facts, and rugby chaos — and we're here to stir it all with a crooked referee's whistle and a wink. Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show.

This week on The Attacking Scrum, Ged is joined by writer and rugby storyteller Luke Upton to break down a huge few days for Welsh rugby. Wales finally claimed their first home victory in two years, but they had to do it the hard way, leaving it until Jarrod Evans' last-kick winner against Japan. Ged and Luke discuss the performance, the positives and concerns, and what this dramatic finish tells us about where Wales are heading under Steve Tandy. With the dust still settling, attention turns to the announcement of Wales' plans for the new Nations Championship, how the structure will impact Tier 1 and Tier 2 competition, and what it means for long-term Welsh development and competitiveness. Then it's back to Welsh rugby politics: the latest twist in the WRU vs regions dispute, including reports that Dragons representatives walked out just 10 minutes into a meeting with the union. What does this say about trust, communication, and the direction of the professional game? Finally, the boys look ahead to the Wales v All Blacks clash, selection questions, tactical tweaks, and whether Wales can build on the Japan win or risk being overwhelmed.

The All Blacks' loss to England has sparked questions about what went wrong, whether Scott Robertson is the right coach heading toward the next World Cup. 

Big questions are now being asked about the direction of the All Blacks under coach Scott Robertson and his staff after a big defeat to England over the weekend. It is the All Black's third loss this season. Sports reporter Jamie Wall spoke to Lisa Owen.

Rob Jones is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Martin Samuel and Julien Laurens to reflect on the weekend's sporting action.We begin by looking at England's unbeaten World Cup qualification. But is Jacqui right to think that, while praise is due, Tuchel's real test will be winning the tournament itself?Attention then turns to Scotland. After their 3–2 loss to Greece, everything now comes down to Tuesday night at Hampden, where they host Denmark and hope to top the group with a win.We move on to Wales, who beat Liechtenstein to draw level on points with second-placed North Macedonia and now look to reach the play-offs by beating them on Tuesday.Next, we turn to England's impressive win against the All Blacks. Martin highlights George Ford's two drop goals in a 33–19 performance that indicates Steve Borthwick's approach is bearing fruit.We're then joined by Adam Collins to preview the Ashes.

Les Bleus ont battu les Fidji samedi soir (34-21), mais ils ne se sont pas rassurés et n'ont pas plus de certitudes qu'après leur large défaite face aux Boks.

Chris is with Matt Dawson and Paul Grayson to bring you reaction to England's first victory over the All Blacks at home in 13 years. We chat to the superb George Ford who dropped two goals and scored a crucial penalty to help extend their winning run to 10 matches. Is he playing the best rugby of his career? We also hear from Scott Robertson after their Grand Slam hopes were ended and ask where it went wrong for New Zealand. And after only a ninth victory over the All Blacks in 120 years, is this the best win of the Steve Borthwick era?

In a big weekend of sport involving the Black Caps, the Silver Ferns and the All Whites, the All Blacks are taking on England at Twickenham overnight. 

It's Nations Pod time ahead of the third weekend of the autumn internationals. Tom is still reeling from Scotland's narrow defeat by New Zealand, calling it the greatest missed opportunity in Scottish rugby history. But can they respond against the dangerous Pumas? After losing to Argentina in Steve Tandy's first match in charge, Wales now host Japan in a must-win game, with Gareth not even prepared to countenance a Welsh defeat. We also tackle the latest rugby jargon and ask whether England's stacked bench will make the difference against the All Blacks.

The Pod is back with Goodey and Jim fresh (and a bit bruised) from the 745 charity game - where Jim “put the fear of God” into a few league legends. The lads break down a huge weekend of international rugby: England's bench-powered surge past Fiji, Scotland's heartbreak against the All Blacks, and the Springboks' masterclass in Paris despite going down to 14 men. There's plenty of chat about Fin Smith v George Ford, and Rassie proving why he's the smartest coach in rugby. The boys also reveal some big travel plans, plus Ireland bounce back against Japan, Italy going back to back against Australia, and Argentina out muscling Wales.

Are England capable of beating the All Blacks for the first time since 2019? And is this side ready to take a big scalp? Ashy and Chris head to the England team hotel and chat to Steve Borthwick about his selection which sees George Ford return at fly-half and Fin Smith drop out of the 23-man squad. They also catch up with Freddie Steward who gives a fascinating insight into dealing with the high ball under the new laws and he gives us a detailed account of how he dislocated his finger against Australia. Chris has also been to see the New Zealand head coach Scott Robertson who wants to deliver a Grand Slam this autumn.
