With the Bledisloe Cup decided for another year, but the return Test and The Rugby Championship still very much up in the air, Kiwi rugby journalist Jamie Wall joined Brett McKay and Harry Jones on The 8/9 Combo Rugby Podcast to dive deep into the fallout. While the result at Eden Park wasn't so surprising last weekend, the way the All Blacks closed the game out, and the way the Wallabies simultaneously killed off their best Bledisloe chance in many a year went against recent form lines and expectations. While Australian fans are still raging about refereeing decision, New Zealanders are just happy they didn't lose two games on the trot. The contrasts make for yet another Great Rugby Chat™. #rugby #rugbypodcast #89Combo #internationalrugby #Wallabies #TheRugbyChampionship, #Springboks, #AllBlacks, #LosPumas, #BledisloeCup 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.

With only one round remaining, it's down to either South Africa or New Zealand to claim the Rugby Championship title, who will come out on top?The lads also dive into the final round of the NPC before the playoffs, where North Harbour are still chasing their first win of the season.

The Bledisloe Cup will remain a New Zealand resident for another year at least, after the All Blacks' 33-24 victory over the Wallabies. While the win is a satisfying one for Coach Scott Robertson, the injury toll means the All Blacks will have to do a reshuffle for this weekend's rematch in Perth, which doubles as a potential Rugby Championship decider. Sports reporter Jamie Wall spoke to Lisa Owen.

This week, Dick blows the whistle on the TRC's scheduling shenanigans, accusing them of high tackle interference with the Women's RWC and AFL finals. It's a calendar clash of titanic proportions, and someone's getting yellow-carded. We scrum down on the age-old debate: Six Nations or TRC—which competition reigns supreme? Spoiler: it's less “crown jewel” and more “jewel heist,” depending on your hemisphere. The Lions did a thing—celebrated like Currie Cup champions at 80 minutes, then promptly remembered they're allergic to silverware. We unpack the collapse, the curse, and the cruel optimism. Meanwhile, New Zealand rugby might be going full haka-flameout, and Australia's eyeing the unthinkable double— breaking both the Eden Park and Bledisloe hoodoes. Is it a golden age or just fool's gold? Plus: the URC kicks off and our draft preview goes off the rails faster than a Bulls fan at altitude. Expect botched picks, bruised egos, and a few players who were drafted purely for their haircuts. Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show.

Off the back of the record defeat to the Springboks on Saturday night the All Blacks have released 13 players to the NPC to have a hit out before the first Bledisloe test at Eden Park next Saturday night. Amongst the group of players named is a significant returnee, Cam Roigard has been cleared to play and will be coming off the bench for Counties Manukau when they play Auckland on Saturday afternoon. D'Arcy caught up with Cam to discuss how he's gone with his recovery and get his thoughts on All Blacks players returning to the NPC after the loss on Saturday night.

Sometimes you need to make up or invoke far fetched hollywood movie plots or fairytales to try and translate some of the NRL's decision making; and in the case of the backflip on a would be Nicho Hynes finals missing hip drop charge, look no further than the 1999 Crime Thriller 'Double Jeopardy;' with Tommy Lee Jones and Ashley Judd basically explaining why a hip drop that's already been charged cant be charged twice, or in this case wasnt actually a hip drop in the first place. Don't worry, the movie didnt make a lot of sense either.It is finals time and our heroes reckon the Suns will scorch the fur off the Lions back at the Gabba, while the ultimate prize will be realised at the end of a Snoop Dogg inspired All-Victorian GF. The Wallabies will be without a veteran Nudgee College old boy for the Bledisloe and we think that's a bit average. So, James O'Connor, please tell Leicester to eat a big bowl of No Flakes and suit up, after you help dismantle the Pumas again and claim an unlikely rugby championship of course. Same to you Will Skelton, at 2 metres and change tall surely you can stand up/over your bosses at La Rochelle? We're busy trying to build an army like Rassie Erasmus did with the Springboks, only our will be better,NRL finals tips are locked in and thousands of timelines and permutations analysed. Beautiful minds come together as algorithms and calculations are written in white pen on windows overlooking the Princeton forecourt, and Ed Harris torments us with his supposedly non existent CIA agent.

Tim Horan joined the show to recap an incredible third-test win by the Wallabies on the weekend against the British Lions, and what the rivarly means for Rugby. Horan told Peter Psaltis on 4BC Wide World of Sports "I think I don't really think we're competing against the AFL and NRL anymore, I just think we've got our own niche." "When the Wallabies play, the gold jersey stands up and I think we've carved out a nice little piece. Now the Wallabies just need to keep this momentum going and potentially have a crack at the Bledisloe." Horan continued.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Glasgow have scored an abridged, no frills Commonwealth Games paid for by Victorians, Lavender left the footy with the Lions 44 points down, Graham Arnold is goooone and Wallaby Len Ikitau joins us to chat ahead of the Bledisloe.

Off the top of your head, where do reckon the Wallabies currently sit in the World rankings?   Sure, they're behind us. They're behind South Africa, of course. But they're also languishing behind Scotland, behind Italy, would you believe.  According to World Rugby, the Wallabies of September 2024 are the ninth best national team in men's rugby today. They only just squeak in ahead of Fiji.  When I was a kid, the Bledisloe felt like the biggest thing in rugby outside of a World Cup. It probably wasn't, of course. Tests with South Africa were at least comparable, I guess, and Lions tours had their prestige. But I would get so worked up for Bledisloes because they always felt like anyone could win.   I still remember epic Bledisloe clashes. The John Eales era. George Gregan and that tackle, Jeff Wilson spilling the ball as he dived for the line, the Wallabies just holding on for Bledisloe glory.  But what happened? New Zealand Rugby's had its issues, but arguably no country that plays rugby has experienced anything like the decline that Australia has experienced. Those epic Bledisloe clashes of the past are becoming ancient history. It's 22 years since Australia last held the Bledisloe - we now have an elected Member of Parliament who has never seen the Wallabies win it.   And get this: according to the Australian Sports Commission, rugby is the country's ninth-most-popular sport by participation. Aussie Rules has four times as many kids who play. Basketball is five times more popular. Rugby loses out to rock climbing and badminton.   There are a range of things that have likely contributed. The private school rugby culture in Australia has isolated the sport from a huge slab of the population. Concern over head knocks will have impacted participation. The domestic rugby competition was hollowed out and ultimately scrapped, which means the Super Rugby teams are the only real professional options for young players. The AFL has 18 teams. The NRL has 16 Australian teams. Super Rugby will now have just four. It's telling that a city of five million couldn't sustain a side. How many people in Melbourne didn't even know the Rebels were a thing? And as a TV entertainment product, sorry, but the Brumbies vs the Force rarely compares to the thrill of the NRL.  All of this is not to diminish this evening's game. And I'm certainly not hoping for a Wallabies win. But ultimately, it's in our interests for Australian rugby to somehow work its way back into something akin to the force of the past. New Zealand rugby needs better competition from across the ditch. We need the spectre of potentially losing the Bledisloe! Maybe I'll eat my words, but as much as I'll enjoy the game this evening, right now... it doesn't feel like all that much of a contest. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
