Podcast appearances and mentions of Eden Park

2025 marks the 75th anniversary of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo and fans can see it in Auckland next year.

All Blacks have just announced their side to close out the Rugby Championship. Coach Scott Robertson has made six changes to the side which kept the Eden Park streak alive last week. Sports reporter Jonty Dine spoke to Lisa Owen.

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. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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.

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.

The NFL GF is here, with the Storm and Broncos set to clash on Sunday night. Before that, the Warriors will be taking centre stage as they look to win the State Cup against the Burleigh Bears.In the other oval ball code, the All Blacks are heading to Perth after defending the Fortress & R360 is starting to make some noise at it confirms its starting date in 2026. NRL, Rugby, NPC, Punting - Enjoy!

This week on the KOKO Show we are back bigger, better and more bodacious after a much needed week off. The lads have rested their weary bodies and sharpened their footy minds in order to tackle this week's double dose of RC magic and to celebrate Mr Giteau's 43rd Birthday in style. On the show we went cover to cover on the Wallabies' narrow loss to the All blacks at Eden Park, extending their unbeaten streak at the ‘Garden' to 52 wins on the trot and we have a seriously deep gander at the weird and wacky result out of Durban that saw the Springboks slap the rumps of the Pumas to the tune of 67-30. Plus, the KOKO lads are joined by the Eastern Suburbs eshay and Canberra's clippered up king Mr Tom Wright, to chat about how his ACL recovery is going, when we can expect him back on the pitch and what it was like to see James Slipper play his 150th Test Match over the weekend.With the boys getting older and the beers flowing more freely we checked back in on our KOKO Fitness Challenge to see how the lads are progressing or regressing in their goal to reach that ever elusive 10% body fat. However, thanks to our new friends at WHOOP the boys can track their journey and see in what areas they are excelling and where they need to lower the shoulders and partake in a couple of tough carries. Finally, we took some time to celebrate the mighty English Red Roses on their incredible World Cup win at Twickenham, as they took down those crazy Canadians 33-13 in some serious style. Congratulations Girls! So sit back, relax and get ready for a refreshed dose of debauchery, the boys are back with juice in the tank and love in their hearts to give you an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show 02:44 - Matt Giteau gets delivered a birthday cake 05:15 - KOKO Learnings 09:15 - KOKO Weight Loss Challenge brought to you by WHOOP14:19 - ALL BLACKS V WALLABIES REVIEW24:14 - Patreon shout out 26:01 - Introduce Tom Wright 27:09 - Tom Wright's recovery 27:52 - James Slippers 150th Cap29:00 - Tom Wright on Jorgo's work at fullback 29:52 - The art of contested kicking 33:22 - Tom Wright on Ryan Lonergan's debut 34:52 - Tom Wright on Billy Pollard 36:34 - Nic White is back in the squad 40:11 - Tom Wright's end of the year plans 42:58 - The KOKO Quiz 50:21 - SOUTH AFRICA V ARGENTINA REVIEW 54:56 - SUPER RUGBY AUS SCORES 56:16 - Congratulations to the English Red Roses on the RWC win57:34 - Other Rugby News 58:48 - Close of the showBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickonsTWITTER/X: @kickoffskickonsYOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickonsTIKTOK: @kickoffskickonsIf you do want to talk about sponsorship or anything business related then please do get in touch with us info@shtn.com.au.

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? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Bledisloe Cup is back for another year, as the All Blacks face the Wallabies this weekend at Eden Park. The All Blacks need 8 more points to top 4000 against Australia. Former Wallaby Tim Horan told Ryan Bridge that this is the best chance the Wallabies have had in years, but they still respect the strength of the All Blacks. 'It's the hope that kills us with the Wallabies, because every time we go to New Zealand, we always think there's a chance.' LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dana on the crucial Eden Park test for the All Blacks, the Beldisloe Cup match tomorrow, the Black Ferns and the final matches in the Rugby World Cup and the New Zealand A League football player convicted for betting corruption.

The All Blacks will be without captain Scott Barrett for this weekend's opening Bledisloe Cup test at Eden Park. He suffered a shoulder injury in the record defeat to South Africa in Wellington and hasn't recovered in time to take on the Wallabies. However, a few other frontline players are back from injury, with coach Scott Robertson making several changes from the team that suffered a record defeat to the Springboks. Rugby reporter Joe Porter spoke to Lisa Owen.

Rugby: Die afrigter van Nieu-Seeland, Scott Robertson het vier veranderinge aan die span gemaak wat 'n geskiedkundige nederlaag teen die Springbokke gely het, vir hulle wedstryd teen Australië. Die wedstryd, as deel van die Rugbykampioenskap, vind Saterdag op Eden Park plaas. Fabian Holland is in die span in die plek van kaptein Scott Barrett wat beseer is, terwyl Codie Taylor van sy besering herstel het. Die skrumskakel, Cam Roigard, en vleuel Caleb Clarke is ook terug in opdrafspan as die enigste ander veranderings. Robertson sê hy het vertroue in sy spelers:

The All Blacks are returning to Eden Park to defend their record. Coming off the back of the worst-ever defeat just 12 days ago against South Africa, they're set to host the Wallabies in the Bledisloe Cup opener on Saturday. There are six changes to the side, with Ardie Savea taking over the captaincy from an injured Scott Barrett. Coach Scott Robertson told Mike Hosking the pressure of performing at Eden Park is still there, but he would describe it as a gift. He says people care so deeply about performing in a place with so much history, and their gift is to earn it again. “You've just gotta rise to it – that's the key.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

After a crushing defeat to the Springboks the All Blacks turn their attention to the Bledisloe Cup. Coach Scott Robertson's side will want to put the record loss behind them as they gear up to take on the Wallabies. The Australians already pulled off one major upset over South Africa last month and will be looking to do the same at Eden Park this weekend. Sports reporter Jamie Wall spoke to Lisa Owen.

Rugby: Die Australiese stut Allan Alaalatoa met sy terugkeer na die Wallabies, sê sy span sien Edenpark as net nog 'n ander rugbyveld. Hulle hoop om Saterdag Nieu-Seeland se 31 jaar onoorwonne rekord op die ikoniese Auckland-stadion te beeïndig. Die All Blacks het in 1994 laas op Edenpark verloor, maar het Saterdag 'n groot taak om daardie rekord te verdedig teen Australië as die Rugbykampioenskap-voorlopers. Nieu-Seeland is in hulle laaste wedstryd in Wellington, in 'n rekord-nederlaag van 43-10 deur die Springbokke verslaan. Alaalatoa sê hulle fokus op hulleself:

The Wallabies are on the verge of potentially something special. The All Blacks have a 51-Test, 31-year unbeaten streak at Eden Park, and Australia have not won there since 1986 - but this is an Aussie team with a live opportunity, especially given that they are currently sitting on top of The Rugby Championship.Christy Doran and Matt To'omua are joined by former All Blacks player and Waratahs coach Daryl Gibson to talk about his journey from rugby coaching to his current role with New Zealand cricket, as well as preview the important Bledisloe Cup - and how genuine are Australia's chances?Hosts: Christy Doran & Matt To'omua Hosted on Acast.

So fast track has a problem - it's not fast enough. Eight months in, only two projects have been approved. The mining in Taranaki is still undergoing consultation. AKA: delayed. The word is that every man and his dog is lining up to have their say, including Mount Taranaki - literally. How you ask a mountain its thoughts and feelings is beyond me, but are we even surprised anymore? Shane Jones is miffed because the EPA, which is looking into all this, has apparently hired a former Forest and Bird lawyer - and all this while we've got $850m in minerals just sitting there. Now, all of this could have been avoided if the Government didn't cave to the media and the legal scholars and the green mafia, and just give politicians all the power to override whatever they want. So the delays and the consultation are by design. And in Auckland, you've got Eden Park. Eden Park, they tell us, is choking under regulation. So why not use your new RMA superpowers to unshackle it? You can't. You have to consult first. Why? Because, again, the Government specifically designed the law changes this way. The windmills they want to put in Taranaki - one local hapū is taking their opposition to the UN. You can see the problem here, can't you? This country is its own worst enemy. We bitch and moan about the GDP number. We freak out about the manufacturing jobs disappearing. Rightly so - but as soon as it's time to do something about it, to create something new like an industry or a mine, we oppose it. We slow it down. We delay. Either we accept that you can't have everything for nothing, and that creating new jobs and growth will cost us something but it's worth it. Or we accept that, actually, we're to be poor and happy to stay that way. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If only nostalgia paid the bills. But when it comes to peaches, it doesn't. Wattie's is out. Pams do a good line of imported stuff, and those who buy peaches in tins like it cheap. A lot of us like cheap. Cheap has never been more appealing in a cost of living crisis. If I was in the business of patriotic purchases, I would close my door and go home. It does work to a degree overseas. Australia is running an "Australian Made" campaign which has had traction. Canada gave it a good push post the tariff debacle. The French are into it. But a place like New Zealand, despite the rhetoric, has never really excelled at being good at backing local. Pams do peaches at $0.99. Wattie's is $3.90. They would have to be some pretty spectacular fruit for that price, and that is why Wattie's is out. They told us yesterday demand is down. Who needs Brian down the road in Hawke's Bay when you have fruit from Lord-knows-where at a fraction of the price? Peaches are also out of favour. As Greg my hairdresser and I were talking during the week, who buys cans of peaches anyway? It's school camp food, he suggested. But he might just be one of those trendy urbanites. I walked him down memory lane with my childhood canned fruit salad that had peaches and pears and apples and two cherries. The cherries were the prize. I'd happily burn a whole can of syrupy crap to land the two cherries. But here is the thing – one of the tricks in life is honesty. When we face these issues, we burn a lot of energy and time on things we know aren't going to work, or are past their used by date, or are a waste of time. Marching for Gaza is not saving a single life or stopping the war. Turning up at COP30 isn't getting an inch closer to Net Zero and Helen Clark is never going to think more concerts at Eden Park is good. We don't like local anything if we have to pay more than some cheap crap from Vietnam or on Temu. It is what it is. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. Farmer confidence: 8/10 In an economic world of woe, it's good to see a decent chunk of people doing well and enjoying it. GDP: 2/10 Sort of the turgid, rank, icing on the rotten economic cake. How does a Reserve Bank not see a contraction of that size? Eden Park: 7/10 Best news of the week as reality finally arrived in suburban Auckland. Have a massive facility and actually use it? How novel. Shane Jones: 6/10 Didn't we already think he was the deputy? Jimmy Kimmel: 3/10 If they stuck with being light and entertaining, not angsty and angry, they might not be getting yanked off air or sacked. Benjamin Doyle: 2/10 What a hapless, self-aggrandising waste of time. The Greens have got a massive credibility issue when it comes to candidate selection.

The government has signalled it plans to use new powers under the Resource Management Act to change event rules at Auckland's Eden Park if it can. At the moment the stadium can host a maximum of 12 concerts a year, and all events must be over by 11pm. Residents in Mount Eden are split on whether more is better. Chair of the Eden Park Neighbours' Association Colin Lucas is not keen on change and spoke to Lisa Owen.
