Super Rugby Pacific talked a big game this season, promising better, faster rugby and better contests on the field, and even more ambitiously, they promised better social media presence and a significantly better fan engagement. Stan Sport‘s Sean Maloney joined Brett McKay & Harry Jones on The 8/9 Combo Rugby Podcast to concede that yes, they might just have ticked all the boxes. The regular season of ups and downs has delivered the finals series combatants we probably picked in pre-season, but didn't think we'd get for most of it, leaving three ripping Qualifying Finals this weekend coming. Also, a Player of the Year and Team of the Year have been crowned, so more boxes ticked. Plus, it's Semi Final weekend in the URC and the Premiership in England, and the final rounds of the Top 14 in France, and Major League Rugby in the States.

Lee Calvert from the outstanding Blood & Mud rugby podcast joined Brett McKay & Harry Jones on The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast to try and make sense of a Champions Cup Final that not too many saw coming, to contemplate where, if anywhere, Northampton and Bordeaux will find their point of difference, and just where 1980s mega group Duran Duran fits into this complicated picture. Plus, Lee shares some thoughts on the latest developments in Welsh Rugby, where having maintained four professional sides equally as part of a long-term strategy launched in 2024, the WRU announced an intention to implement a new two-tier funding system amid reports it intends to cut a team from its professional tier, reports which the Union has neither confirmed nor denied.

If the Crusaders are well and truly back in 2025 (and they are), then what on earth happened to them last season? Brett McKay & Harry Jones welcome Jamie Wall onto The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast this week, to contemplate that and many questions in and around New Zealand rugby. Last year's Champions, the Blues, seem to have adapted the position of the 2024 Crusaders however, and this weekend's crucial clash in Brisbane against the Queensland Reds feels very ‘must win' for them, an indication of just how far they've fallen in 2025. The guys try to work the difference from one year to the next for the Blues, look a bit closer at the real health of New Zealand Rugby, and ponder the regular question whether this really in the best season of Super Rugby, ever.

Before Les Kiss was a frontrunner for the Wallabies job, before he was a coach, he was a player. Not in rugby, in rugby league. It underscores that the potential national coach is a bit different.

The Queensland Reds have named Ryan Smith as captain for this weekend's game against the Western Force. Ryan Smith told Peter Psaltis on Wide World of Sports, "It's a massive honour for me to be able to lead the team." "I'm trying to make sure I stay within my job and do the normal stuff that I do for the team." "It'll be nice to be allowed to talk to the referees a little bit more, but I'll try to hand that back as soon as I can to the other skippers when they jump back in," Smith continued.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're joined by none other than Scotland Centre and purveyor extraordinaire of tries Huw Jones.Huw takes through the triple meat pie and the “it's happening again” moment when Italy drew level at 19-19. But there's a new found resilience to the Scots and ultimately they did everything they needed to do to pick up the 5 points. First banana skin avoided!We hear Huw's thoughts on what's going on inside the Scotland camp but also have a chance to beat his wild journey to the top. Some real sliding doors moments that might never have seen the dynamo Midas centre hit the highs of winning the URC or winning over 50 caps for his country.

Ireland showing no signs of being Dads army actually accelerating through the gears in the latter stages. Ireland vs France sure promises to be an absolute blockbuster. But what of the English? What does Steve Borthwick do? all questions wonderfully answered by the boys.We also go through the Wales nadir against France in Paris.

Eddie's coaching of Japan to defeat South Africa against their hometown advantage in South Africa, was a breakthrough moment for Japanese rugby, which until that point had never managed to win a game at that level. Eddie started his coaching career at Randwick as an assistant coach in 1994.  He coached Tokai University as an assistant coach in 1995-96, was assistant coach for Japan in 1996, coached the Suntory Sungoliath team in 1997, the ACT Brumbies from 1998-2001, Australia from 2001-2005, Saracens in 2006, the Queensland Reds in 2007, South Africa in 2007, Saracens again in 2007-209, Suntory Sungoliaths again from 2009-2012, Japan from 2012-2015, the Stormers in 2015, England from 2015-2022, Australia in 2023 and Japan from 2024. Over the 9 years Eddie has spent leading in Japan, he has amassed a very detailed understanding of high performance team coaching for this market, especially for young Japanese people.  Leading this younger generation is a new challenge for most of us and yet Eddie has spent his whole career working out how to lead young men in their twenties.  He is probably the most expert person in Japan in this field and someone we can learn a lot from. Eddie credits his training as a High School teacher, as helping him a great deal when he became a rugby coach.  He is a constant student of leadership and permanently curious, as to how he can improve his abilities.
