England swung the chariot straight over the All Blacks, Ireland found their groove, while Los Pumas turned a 21-0 into a ‘hold my beer' situation.

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.

If French rugby is fine wine, the Boks uncorked it, chugged it straight from the bottle, and smashed the glass on the way out. The Springboks have once again marched into Paris like uninvited houseguests, stomping mud across the carpets, smashing the crockery, and pocketing a few heirlooms for good measure. France looked overrated, outmuscled, and utterly unable to dent the Bok defence, while the refereeing circus gave us scrums that made no sense, a red card that raised eyebrows, and yellows that felt more like lottery tickets. Rassie's substitutions were bold, Siya's leadership was immense, and Esterhuizen looked every bit the golden key to unlock this side. Sasha or Manie — who's really the man (hint, it's still Pollard)? Meanwhile, the 9s are bringing the heat, but KLA might not be it. Beyond Paris, the Northern Hemisphere chorus of “we're undercooked” rang out again, conveniently forgetting that the shoe is on the other foot every June. Italy toppled Australia, leaving us wondering if Joe Schmidt's fire has fizzled. Scotland spooked themselves against New Zealand in what quickly became the DMac show. England scraped past Fiji, though the islanders could easily have stolen it, with refereeing once again in the spotlight. Wales, poor Wales, were left licking wounds after Argentina gave them another bruising reminder of reality. And in the background, World Cup qualification permutations rumble on: Namibia struggling, Belgium proving they're more than just chips. It was a weekend of broken narratives, hot takes, and Southern Hemisphere swagger, and we're here to stir the pot with all the banter you can handle. Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show

Springbok-afrigter Rassie Erasmus sê keurders het die beste span gekies vir môre se kragmeting teen Frankryk in Parys. Daar is ses veranderinge aangebring aan die span wat Japan verlede naweek op Wembley verslaan het. Boan Venter vervang die beseerde Ox Nche op loskopstut, terwyl Thomas du Toit, Eben Etzebeth, Pieter-Steph du Toit en Damian Willemse almal na die opdrafspan terugkeer. RG Snyman is op die bank. Erasmus sê hulle maak gereed vir ʼn taai wedstryd:

Rugby: Springbok-afrigter Rassie Erasmus sê hy het volle vertroue in die stut Zachary Porthen. Die 21-jarige is gereed om Saterdag die eerste keer vir Suid-Afrika uit te draf in die toets teen Japan op Wembley in Londen. Die voormalige SA Onder-20-kaptein het slegs in vyf senior wedstryde vir die Stormers gespeel - vier vanaf die bank en een in die opdrafspan. Erasmus sê Porthen gaan senuagtig wees, maar hy sal fisies gereed wees:

The Boks put the W in Wellington, with Damian Willemse turning in a career performance, Manie and Siya shutting down the noise, and Rassie sneaking a Hooker onto the wing. Meanwhile in Sydney, Los Pumas held off a late Wallaby surge, but somehow it's Australia sitting top of the log. From Wellington to Sydney, A weekend that left fans buzzing, coaches scratching heads, and the log wide open.

The Rugby Championship is officially nuts. After four rounds, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, amd Argentina all have four wins. Brett McKay and Harry Jones try to make sense of it all on another TRC Post-Mortem for The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast. In Sydney, Los Pumas scored the two point-win they perhaps should have claimed a week ago, though Australia now lead the tournament courtesy of double bonus points in a loss and the worst forward pass miss in a long time. In Wellington, the Springboks handed the All Blacks a thumping that didn't just eclipse their worst loss on home soil, they more than doubled it. #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.

If the 2025 Rugby Championship is the tightest one yet, Round 4 this weekend looms as the hardest to pick yet. Australia and Argentina have both rung the changes to their teams, forced and not, New Zealand appear to have beefed up their pack but snuck a debutant on the wing, and South Africa have named such a young side that Rassie may well be now operating two RWCs ahead. Brett & Harry ask the key questions ahead of this weekend's 4th Round of TRC matches in Sydney and Wellington. Can Argentina bounce back from the heartbreak of Townsville? How much do South Africa have left to find a win in NZ? And could we finish the weekend with everyone on two wins? This week's key questions: Q1. If NZ were to be beaten, why would it happen? Q2. If OZ were upset, what's likely reason? Q3. Of those two upsets, which likeliest in your opinion? What do you think? We'd love to hear from you! Learn more about your ad choices.

Rain and the ref seem to be common excuses going around the South African water coolers this week, but in all honesty the Boks had only themselves to blame for gifting Ardie Savea a victory in his 100th Test. While the Springbok men failed to create history, the women will write a new chapter as they appear in their first ever RWC quarter final against New Zealand this week, lining up a tasty Kiwi doubleheader for Bok fans. Andy is optimistic this week about Rassie's brow-raising, youthful selections for the second Test, while Phil and Ant are more pragmatic. Perhaps even more gruelling than dissecting a Springbok loss is having to say nice things about the Wallabies for the third episode in a row. Yuck. Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show.

It's Rugby Championship time and ARP gets into who looks best placed for wins! Argentina have beaten the All Blacks three times in recent years. We look into why, as well as breaking down Australia's chances against the Boks. With Richie Mo'unga returning in 2026, we ask whether NZ needs a first choice 10, or whether Scott Robertson should follow Rassie's lead and have a horses for courses approach.

And fun-loving All Blacks winger Emoni Narawa joined the team to chat about having a baby born on All Blacks squad naming day. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Oh—and Wales actually won a game. That's 1 win from their last 20. Momentum, baby.Grab a beer and Enjoy!

Die Springbok-afrigter, Rassie Erasmus, het die vaskopstut Asenathi Ntlabakanye se toewyding geloof, wat tot sy insluiting in die nasionale span gelei het. Die 26-jarige Ntlabakanye is een van vier nuwe spelers in die Bok-groep wat die Barbarians Saterdag in Kaapstad pak. Sy ontwikkeling het intensiewe oefeninge ingesluit op die skrumafrigter, Daan Human, se plaas naby Bloemfontein, waar hy op kondisionering en tegniese skrumwerk gefokus het. Erasmus sê Ntlabakanye se toewyding het 'n dramatiese fisieke verandering meegebring:

Springbok-afrigter Rassie Erasmus sê hy sal voortgaan met sy span-rotasiebeleid. In 2024 het hy 50 spelers in 13 toetswedstryde gebruik en 12 nuwelinge ingespan. Erasmus het nege nuwelinge in sy groep van 55 vir die kragmeting teen die Barbarians op 28 Junie en toetse teen Italië en Georgië in Julie. Hy sê hulle wil iets soortgelyk aan verlede jaar doen waar die senior spelers en sommige van die jonger spelers ʼn bydrae op die veld lewer:

Jim and Goodey unpack a massive weekend of rugby, starting with Quins pulling off their first away win over Saracens in 13 years at The Showdown in front of 54,000 fans — and with a few famous faces in the crowd too.

There's more drama in the Prem as Leicester smash Saints, Bath flex against Glos, and Bristol and Exeter set a new record with ten first-half tries. We also head stateside for a cracking chat with Peter Bernick, co-owner of the Chicago Hounds, who lifts the lid on building rugby in the US, the upcoming United States of Rugby doc, and how MLR is gearing up for RWC 2031.
