All Blacks coach Scott Robertson says midfielder Billy Proctor needed a break and Quinn Tupaea deserved an opportunity to start in tomorrow's Bledisloe Cup test in Perth.

All Blacks coach Scott Robertson believes tomorrow's Bledisloe Cup game in Perth should suit loose forward Peter Lakai.

The Bledisloe Cup is back in storage for another year but the Rugby Championship remains up for grabs for all four teams going into the final round. The All Blacks are taking on Australia at a sold-out Optus Stadium, while South Africa clashes with Argentina at Twickenham. Seven changes have been made to the side, with Scott Barrett returning from injury to his position as captain. Vice-captain Jordie Barrett told Mike Hosking a week is a long time in international rugby, as the game has become so competitive and the margins are so small. He says they're making a few adjustments after last week's game, but the Rugby Championship is there to win if they really want to. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A much-revamped All Blacks line-up will confront Australia in Saturday's second Bledisloe Cup test against Australia. Injuries account for four of the seven changes to the run-on side. Captain Scott Barrett returns at lock, Tamaiti Williams and Fletcher Newell start as props and Peter Lakai has his first test start, at number eight. In the backs, Quinn Tupaea dons the 13 jersey and Leicester Fainga'anuku starts on the left wing - his first test since the 2023 World Cup. NZ Herald ruby writer Liam Napier says the All Blacks are striving for consistency ahead of Saturday's match. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Another year, another Bledisloe Cup series lost, with the Wallabies falling to New Zealand at Eden Park for a gutsy loss that leaves The Rugby Championship all but out of reach. Christy Doran and Matt To'omua discuss the fallout from Eden Park, unpack the latest No.10 selection drama with James O'Connor set to miss out on a starting gig against the All Blacks in Perth, fresh news on the rebel R360 competititon, and the Women's World Cup final laying down the gauntlet for Australia ahead of the home 2027 men's tournament!Hosts: Christy Doran & Matt To'omua Hosted on Acast.

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.

Welcome back to the Pick and Go Podcast!The lads kick things off by reviewing the latest round of The Rugby Championship. New Zealand have once again retained the Bledisloe Cup, and Eden Park continues its reputation as an unshakable fortress. But it raises the question: should the Bledisloe really be a three-game series?Meanwhile, South Africa powered past Argentina in convincing fashion, looking more dangerous than ever. 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.

Strap in for a chaotic episode as Phil, Ant, and Rich attempt to analyse the un-analysable. The Springboks' win over Argentina had everything: 97 points, 12 tries, a hattrick, a bizarre drop-goal attempt from your own in-goal, and a coming-of-age masterclass from Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu. We break down the madness, the genius, and the sheer lunacy of it all. Plus, we cover the Bledisloe Cup, the URC kick-off (Stormers good, Lions bad!), the Women's World Cup final and why a certain Welsh analyst has got it all wrong about the Boks. Pure, unadulterated rugby banter. Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show.

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 on the Sunday Panel, resident economist at Opes Partners, Ed McKnight, and Newstalk ZB host Roman Travers joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more! Foreign Minister Winston Peters confirmed New Zealand wouldn't recognise a Palestinian state at this point in time. Are we surprised by this? The All Blacks managed to turn their luck around and beat the Wallabies 33-24 at Eden Park - and claim the Bledisloe Cup. But would it mean more if we won it over three matches?

Fans, coaches and experts alike are celebrating Cam Roigard's match-winning performance against the Wallabies. Roigard was hugely influential in the 33-24 Bledisloe Cup win at Eden Park, scoring two tries - including one to seal the win. Former All Black and rugby analyst Ant Strachan joined Piney to discuss.

The Bledisloe Cup is safe for another year. The All Blacks' last remaining major trophy remains in their hands after a 33-24 win over the Wallabies at Eden Park, clinched by a late Cam Roigard try.

The All Blacks have retained the Bledisloe Cup for another year, and Brett McKay and Harry Jones feel like the nine-point margin was about right on another TRC Post-Mortem for The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast. New Zealand started sharply and looked ominous early on, before Australia swing momentum and reduced the halftime margin to just three points. After the break and in the end, it will be another case of Wallabies errors and missed opportunities to rue, with crucial mistakes killing off any chances of yet another famous comeback win. #rugby #rugbypodcast #89Combo #WeekendPostMortem #InternationalRugby #TheRugbyChampionship #Wallabies #AllBlacks #Springboks #LosPumas 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.

Ryan Fox has had a stunner of a year so far, with two PGA Tour wins and a Top 20 finish at the US Open under his belt – not to mention a world record. Fox has said a few times that he knew his best golf across a given weekend was enough to beat the best golfers in the world, which has been proven true. “I had kind of believed it, and it was nice to actually do it,” he told Piney. He's back in town for a bit of a break, as well as to catch the Bledisloe Cup test tonight at Eden Park, and while they were on the subject of rugby, he touched on what it was like growing up as the son of All Blacks legend Grant Fox. As one might expect, rugby was one of the sports Fox played when he was younger, before he landed on golf. “Probably had a few too many concussions to carry on, but yeah, I loved it.” “I didn't help myself – I played 10 and I kick goals as well, so there was only gonna be one comparison there, and I was never gonna live up to that.” “The only thing I had on the old man is I wasn't afraid of tackling.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The All Blacks have set their eyes on consistency after snaring the Bledisloe Cup for another year. The 33-24 win over the Wallabies keeps the trophy at NZR headquarters - the 23rd consecutive summer it will spend there. Newstalk ZB rugby commentator Elliott Smith says the All Blacks didn't fold like they did in Wellington last time, but there's still room for improvement.

It's time for the Bledisloe Cup, with the Wallabies and All Blacks clashing tonight at Eden Park. The last time the Wallabies were able to claim the victory at the Fortress was in 1986 – David Campese scoring the winning point. Australian halfback Nick Farr-Jones was the one to pass Campese the ball, and he later became the captain of the side, leading to victory in the 1991 Rugby World Cup. Farr-Jones told Piney that until 1992, the All Blacks were the biggest test matches for Australia, and he remembers each match almost like it was yesterday. He says that it was until 1987 that any international team actually stood up for the haka, and it was done as a sign of respect. “As an opponent, you want to send a second message: that we're not going to roll over and die.” “If you're going to beat us today, you're gonna have to play bloody well.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fans on both sides of the Tasman are raring to go as the All Blacks and Wallabies battle it out for the Bledisloe Cup. They're clashing tonight at Eden Park, where the All Blacks have remained undefeated for over thirty years. Former Wallaby Brendan Cannon just so happened to stop by the Kingslander, hopping on air with Piney to preview the clash. “We've obviously been through a fairly long and protracted period of, of non-success in Australian rugby,” he said. “So we take a little bit of delight in the fact that there's uncomfortability in the Kiwi scene at the moment.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Bledisloe Cup has returned to Eden Park and joining Piney for a chat was one of the country's greatest ever lock forwards. Ian Jones toured with the 1989 All Blacks, making his test debut the following year against Scotland at Carisbrook – scoring a try in the match. Jones played 105 games for the All Blacks, 79 of which were tests, and is now the GM of the All Blacks Experience – an interactive attraction dedicated to New Zealand rugby. He joined Piney to preview tonight's clash against the Wallabies and to look back at his incredible career with the national team. “To think we haven't lost a game at Eden Park since 1994, 51 test matches ago, is crazy,” Jones says. “This is why this game tonight, and every game since then, you've got to defend that Fortress.” “It is about mindset, it is about authority, it's about the first ten minutes of this game, to make it so the Wallabies go, s***, this is hard, there's no way we can win here.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's the biggest day in the Australian sporting calendar. Not only is tonight the AFL Grand Final, but there's also the NRL preliminary finals, as well as the Bledisloe Cup clash at Eden Park. Our Australian Correspondent Adam Peacock joined Piney to brief him on all the goings on. “It's a huge weekend overall in Melbourne,” he said of the AFL Grand Final. “it's the biggest thing since sliced bread.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The All Blacks have held the Bledisloe Cup since 2003, so has that dulled their desire for more success against the Wallabies? And what about New Zealand fans, do they care as much as they used to, or have years of winning made them indifferent? Rugby reporter Joe Porter is in Auckland ahead of tomorrow night's test at Eden Park and tried to find out.

Eden Park is the focus of this weekend's rugby action, as the wounded All Blacks take on the Wallabies in the first Bledisloe Cup test of the year. The All Blacks come off a record loss in their last test but welcome back some key players. Meanwhile the Wallabies have had some exceptional results to give their long-suffering fans hope of a first Bledisloe Cup series win in 23 years. Sports reporter Jamie Wall spoke to Lisa Owen.

Global CEO of Rhino Rugby equipment Reg Clark joined Brett McKay and Harry Jones on The 8/9 Combo Rugby Podcast to get into the weeds about a rarely-thought, but crucial part of the modern game: the humble tackle bag. Rhino Rugby are perhaps the dominant player in the technical training equipment game, supplying so many national unions and the British & Irish Lions with crash pads, training aids, and scrum machines. In 2025, they're also supplying South African rugby with their match balls, which are currently making their debut in The Rugby Championship.
