NEW YORK, NY - In this week's episode of The Rugby Odds, host Matt McCarthy is joined by:

The ARP crew breaks down how the All Blacks coaches out-thought the Boks, as they took first blood at Eden Park.James, Bryn and Ross ask whether the All Blacks were masters of the law book or if they used illegal tactics.They analyse how Black Ferns' kicking and defensive tactics have taken their game to the next level before the RWC quarterfinals, look at the Makos' chances of taking the Shield from Canterbury and Australia's newfound resilience against Argentina. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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.

Rugby Championship reaction - Australia vs Argentina. New Zealand vs South Africa.Local rugby, Top 14, Women's RWC, a preview of Saints squad, and the rest of the rugby week. LTBP! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Aseza Hele, Libbie Janse van Rensburg, Nadine Roos, Nolusindiso Booi... A special generation of Springbok women have made history with a first ever appearance in the RWC knockouts. Ant and Andy revel in the green glow and recount this historic moment. The Springbok men also feature, with a recap of the Wallabies win and a nervous note on the upcoming game-of-the-year against the All Blacks in fortress Eden Park. Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show.

This week on the KOKO Show the lads get down and dirty with their ‘ra ra' previews this week, as they wine, dine and come off the pine for the upcoming third round of The ‘RC'. With all four nations sitting on one win each, this year's ‘RC' is as tight as a mouse's waistcoat and it is anyone's for the taking. Thus, to summarize the upcoming weekend of footy frivolities, the Wallabies are in their “Building phase” and taking on Los Pumas who are in their “Record Breaking Phase”. Whilst those crafty Springboks are in their “no longer world number 1 phase” and are hoping to break an 88-year hoodoo at Eden Park against the All Blacks who are in their “our local community hates us again” phase, so as the classics say, rugby will be the real winner. Moreover, the fellas once again set alight their competitive spirits as they ‘mano a mano a mano' in an Argentinian flavoured KOKO Quiz. Plus, we are joined by Wallaroos enforcer, lineout specialist, veterinary physio and most importantly the latest member to join the 40 cap club, the one and only Vi-queen Michaela Leonard. The lads with Michaela in tow unpacked all the happenings from the Women's RWC in England, focussing on the Wallaroos' draw with the USA and what the girls have to do against England to clinch that last finals spot. With the whole nation at their backs the Wallaroos have highlighted that a fast start, brutal defence and quietening the crowd is the secret sauce needed to take down the world number one English Roses on their own turf. So rise up Australia and get behind the Wallaroos as they fight for the final spot in the quarter-finals this weekend. So, sit back, relax, kick off your pristine RM's and take a double dose of your gout medicine, this episode is going to be as fun as 4am finish at your favourite watering hole. It's time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show 02:51 - KOKO learnings 11:11 - KOKO's Body Fat Challenge 17:24 - Rugby Round Up Segment 18:13 - WALLABIES V ARGENTINA PREVIEW34:20 - WALLABIES V ARGENTINA PREDICTIONS 36:08 - ALL BLACKS V SPRINGBOKS PREVIEW42:02 - ALL BLACKS V SPRINGBOKS PREDICTIONS44:52 - KOKO QUIZ 49:29 - Introduce Michaela Leonard50:55 - The boys ask about being a Vet Physio53:05 - Michaela on the draw with the USA55:05 - Michaela on how the squad has grown 56:21 - Michaela on Caitlyn Halse's performances 57:29 - What can we expect from England?59:14 - Things to do in York 01:00:47 - The importance of defence against England 01:01:35 - How can the Wallaroos make the quarters? 01:03:44- The boys tell Michaela how to beat England 01:06:26 - BENCH, START AND DROP01:09:46 - AUSSIE CLUB RUGBY RESULTS 01:13:21 - Shane Christie tribute 01:14:34 - Budgy Smuggler Pjs 01:15:11 - 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 KOKO Show we deliver you some serious double trouble in the guest department, as we are joined by Italian Centurion Martin Castrogiovanni live in the studio and all the way from Manchester the Wallaroos swiss army knife Lori Cramer gets up early to talk some shop. The big, bold and extremely beautiful Castrogiovanni shakes off the effects of ‘Fiji Time' to join the lads live on set and chat about the Boks bouncing back in Cape Town over the Wallabies and how the ‘Win' Pumas created history knocking off the All Blacks for the first time on home soil. However, when Castro is in your presence it isn't all fun filled frivolities about footy, this former tight headed loose unit has had a colourful career, filled with funny yarns, huge fines and kick ass parties. So get ready to laugh your finest Italian Merino socks off, because this larger than life long haired larikin really blows the bloody doors off. Plus, all the way from sunny old ‘Mancs' Lori Cramer jumps online to discuss the Wallaroos' smash up job of Samoa in match one of the RWC, as well as how the girls are shaping up to take on the foe adorned in stars and stripes, the USA in match two. She opens up about what life is like in camp, the pressures surrounding a good World Cup run, as well as admitting to the fact that she might actually be the Drew Mitchell of the Wallaroos squad. So ladies and gentlemen, sit back, relax and enjoy the KOKO ride, because this old chestnut takes some tangy twists and turns. It is time for an all new ep of Kicks Off and Kicks Ons.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show 02:36 - Intro Martin Castrogiovanni 05:42 - KOKO Learnings 11:44 - SPRINGBOKS V WALLABIES REVIEW 20:08 - ARGENTINA V ALL BLACKS REVIEW 25:20 - What does Castro do for work?26:15 - Castro's time in Toulon 28:21 - Memories of playing for Italy v the Wallabies 30:00 - Castro's start in rugby union33:01 - Castro's run in with Richard Cockerill / the press conference 37:47 - Castro's visits to the match tribunal 38:58 - Castro getting sacked by Racing 9245:27 - Castro's rugby camps 48:19 - Castro's Toulon teammates 51:16 - Troubles in Toulon 52:42 - The KOKO Quiz58:56 - The Lori Cramer interview 01:13:57 - Shute Shield Final Preview 01:15:41 - Budgy Smuggler Promo 01:16:43 - 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.

Amy's journey has been nothing short of inspiring, from growing up in South Africa to becoming a Rugby World Cup winner with the Black ferns!

The Rugby Championship is underway for 2025, and Brett McKay and Harry Jones have fired up the TRC Post-Mortem for The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast, after the Wallabies shock 38-22 win over the Springboks at Ellis Park, Johannesburg. Australia's first win in Jo'burg since the 1960s will rank as one of the biggest Test rugby upsets of the professional era, and certainly the most incredible Wallabies comeback. From 22-0 down after just 19 minutes, Australia piled on six tries and 38 unanswered points to record a stunning Bonus Point win to kick off The Rugby Championship, with the result leaving huge implications for World Rankings, and 2027 RWC seedings later this year. It's the most unexpected of wins. This wasn't supposed to happen. Wallabies fans still aren't sure if it did. #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.

Jamison Gibson Park has gone on to be without a doubt one of the best 9s in world rugby! He's one of my favourite players to watch the way he plays with speed and controls the tempo of games while always nailing the basics. He was also one of my favourite team mates to play with because he was just a massive lad. 4 years ago this episode was recorded where he had just debuted for Ireland so it's pretty cool to hear some of the conversations we had around his future plans to see how far he has exceeded them!Some other parts that stood out for me in this episode...Hearing about the rural upbringing Jamison had on Great Barrier Island.How he handled missing out on the NZ 20's even though many felt he should've been in there.How he was shafted by the Blues.Winning the Super Rugby with the Hurricanes, starting as a wider squad member.Why he left NZ.How he had found it over in Ireland & with Leinster.And heaps more!As you'll hear, Jammo is a massive lad and it's been so cool seeing him starring at RWC's with Ireland and now on the Lions tour. He is one of the greats! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There are some indelible scenes inscribed forever into the psyche of the West, and the death of Dido is one of them. When William Congreve wrote that "Heav'n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn'd, Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn'd," he surely had in mind this archetype of all scorned women, the tragic heroine who stands in for every abandoned lover and for an entire civilization. Aeneas--and Rome--must leave her ruthlessly in the dust. But no one knows how to guilt trip you like your ex, and no one knows how to remonstrate with Rome like Carthage. All the same, in the end...destiny awaits.

The ASX 200 started the week giving back 80 points to 8158 (1%) as the bank rally faded post WBC results. Slightly underwhelming and lack of growth to blame. WBC fell 3.0% taking CBA down 1.6% and the Big Bank Basket down to $265.29 (1.7%). MQG followed the other lower down 1.8% ahead of numbers Friday.

Resources held up better with BHP down only 0.9% and RIO off 0.9% despite rising Iron ore prices in Singapore. Gold miners were mixed, GOR jumped 9.4% on the takeover by Goldfields, NST up 0.4% and EVN up 2.1% with BGL rallying 2.2%. Lithium stocks were flat, LYC up 1.8% and oil and gas stocks crumbling in the face of oils fall. WDS down 3.6% and STO off 4.0%. Uranium stocks mixed, NXG down 4.6% and BOE up 0.8%. In corporate news, TYR pulled out of SMP talks, PLY dumped after CEO retires wounded. RWC warned on tariffs and fell 2.4% with EDV forecasting flat to modest retail sales growth.

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. Jim spills the beans on the London craic and post-match scenes, while the lads debate what went right for Quins and wrong for Sarries. 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. Plus, the Bulls break Leinster's unbeaten URC streak, Fin Smith to Toulouse rumours, and the lads react to a rabbit punch and a big shout to Rassie's new pod — all that and more.

Entrepreneur Arron Banks shot to prominence during and after the UK's 2016 Brexit Referendum, where financial support for ‘Leave' made him the country's largest-ever political donor. Later that year, Banks and political ally Nigel Farage were Donald Trump's first foreign visitors after the returned US President's first shock victory. In this fascinating interview with BizNews editor Alec Hogg, Banks explains why South Africa is key in the Trump Administration's strategy to address global political imbalances, cautioning about likely consequences from the ANC's doubling down in its tug of the Eagle's tail feathers. He also shares his SA connections; the spectacular growth of Farage's Reform Party (now leading UK polls); and a long-running R150m fraud case against the South African miner who hosted Ramaphosa at the RWC. Banks will speak about Trump and SA at BNC#7.

We now know where the RWC games are being played, but we don't know who will coach the Wallabies. How much longer before we learn about Joe Schmidt's future? Josh Inglis is a vibe, but his parents might be even better. Alana King is a cricket queen and Tiger Woods has made his mum a guarantee.

When we talk about the greatest rugby family in this country ever, it's almost impossible to go past the Barretts. Kevin 'Smylie' Barrett was a Taranaki legend who also played for the Hurricanes, Beauden is a 100 game All Black, RWC winner and 2 x World Player of the year, Scott has captained the Crusaders to 4 Super Rugby titles and is the current Captain of the All Blacks, Jordie at just 27 has racked up over 50 games for the All Blacks and dominated where ever he plays. Kane was tracking the same path before 2 significant head injuries forced him to retire at just 22 years old. It was awesome to sit down with Kane and talk through where he is at now and how he looks back on his career, some bits that stood out for me were.. The battle between the Barrett brothers to be the Alpha growing up How Kane would fire up the Francis Douglas 1st XV side, once resulting in a yellow card The time Kane picked up his coach Neil Barns as a 16yo and dropped him on his head His pathway into NZ Schools for 2 years, Taranaki and the Blues What forced Kane into retirement and how hard that was to deal with How he looks at his brothers successful careers His new life of the farm And heaps more! This was such an incredible insight from such a champion lad, you can only admire the way Kane has gone about his life post footy and it was so cool to hear about his journey.  

Aaron Mauger loves rugby, he's so passionate about the game and he is so grateful for his involvement in the game and he's certainly been involved! From playing for Canterbury straight out of school, to becoming a Crusader and All Black not long after. He then moved to Leicester were he won premierships over there, before injuries forced him to retire at just 30. Post playing he was always going to stay in the game and with his incredible rugby knowledge has gone on to become a great coach! Some bit's that stood out for me were... His relationship with his brother Nathan and their mindset playing together  How hard it can be for a young 10 to come in boss the team around especially when one was your teacher the year before The massive influence Andrew Mertens had on him The night of the 96-12 win over the Waratahs and the story behind the front flip The 2003 and 2007 RWC experiences The struggle of wanting to keep playing when the body is breaking down The reality of the life as a coach and the impact that can have on your family And heaps more I loved hearing about Azza's mindset on how he approaches life, he's very grateful for every thing and he has a real passion for the game of rugby. It made me realise how good this game is, so many great people involved in the game and Aaron Mauger is certianly one of those.

This week I am joined by Japanese royalty Lomano Lemek! The Japanese rugby legend who has been to the Olympics with the Japanese 7s side who finished 4th, He's been to 2 RWC's and has recently signed with Honda Heat again to take him through to 19 years playing professionally in Japan. From a young age Mano wanted to be a professional rugby player and being in the 1st XV at the age of just 14 made that a really realistic dream. However, after that season he failed to make any rep teams which really tested his commitment and perseverance of that dream a pretty random opportunity came up for him to play in Japan with the Canon Eagles.  Some parts that stood out for me in this one were… The exciting launch of his new App P2P to help players and teams make contracting easier We hear about his humble upbringing and his early focus to make rugby a career How a random opportunity at the Canon Eagles at 19 years old changed his life His decision to play Japan 7's and experience the first Olympics with 7s involved How he found his time at the Sunwolves and playing Super Rugby Experiencing 2 RWC and the different challenges that were involved leading up to those tournaments Some classic Jamie Joesph yarn Plenty of stories from his Top league career And he's more! As you'll hear Lemano has had some career and deserves every single yen he has earns and he is a massive lad who gives an awesome insight into rugby in Japan. If you enjoy this episode please give it a share so I can continue to bring you great guests like this.

Tamaiti Williams is one of the most exciting talents in the game, he's a whopping 196cm (6ft4) and 140kg (308lbs) with the speed and light feet of an outside back. He's got the skillset of a playmaker and most importantly for his position he's a beast at scrum time comfortably playing both sides of the scrum. All this at just 23 years of age! The potential of this champion lad is huge and it was awesome to go through his journey up until now. Some key bits that stood out for me... The emotional rollercoaster the last 12months has been, going to a RWC, getting injured, getting married, having a baby at just 27 weeks, becoming an All Black again. That's an episode in itself. Hearing about Tamaiti's upbringing in Perth where he had to grow up fast.  The plan that his parents had to help him achieve success in rugby, which involved moving back to NZ and then down to the Crusaders academy  The challenges that came with those moves - Becoming a Crusader and then becoming and All Black and what that meant to him and his family.  We hear all about the RWC in France including that last scrum.  Plans in the future, all your questions and more. Tamaiti is such a humble giant, who speaks openly about the challenges he has faced and will continue to face to reach his potential. There's so much good stuff in this one and as you'll hear he is such a lad. If you enjoy this episode I would hugely appreciate it if you could give it a share so I can continue to bring you great guests like this.

Cam Roigard is one of the most exciting talents in the game right now. In the last couple of years he has made every post a winner, rapidly climbing through the ranks after starring for Counties Manakau, carving up Super Rugby with the Hurricanes before heading of to the RWC with the All Blacks. It was here on the world stage where we all got to see the huge talent that this young man possesses and has got plenty excited about where he can get to. The beauty of this story is that Cam wasn't the star growing up. He didn't make the rep teams and at just 17 years old he was told that he had peaked. His incredible work ethic combined with his love for the game and competitive nature meant he did everything he could to achieve his dream and did he what! As you'll hear Cam is a champion lad, someone who just loves the game and wants to push himself as far as he can and it's exciting to think where he could potentially end up. If you enjoy this episode please let me know in the comments and please give it a share so that I can have more awesome guests like Cam come on.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode I am joined by the legendary Black Fern sisters Chelsea and Alana Bremner.

They have shared many special moments throughout their journey to becoming professional rugby players.

One of the great lads of Welsh and NZ rugby Johnny McNicholl is on What a Lad this week, after returning to Super Rugby in red hot form! Having started in Christchurch with Canterbury and the Crusaders, Johnny then spent 8 seasons over in Wales with the Scarletts as well as playing international rugby for Wales. Now he has returned to where it all started and is back with the Crusaders passing on his wisdom and ripping it up on the field. Some bits that stood out in this chat were... How setbacks early in his career fuelled him to work harder The confidence Johnny has always had in his own ability Why he decided to leave NZ rugby at a young age How tough it was for him to miss out on the RWC with Wales What made him send his address to a keyboard warrior Some epic yarns including one of him fighting Ray Lee-Lo at training As you'll hear the man they call J Mac is an absolute champion, someone who understands the game of rugby so well, he's always willing to help others and is just good value to be around.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Will Jordan is one of those rugby players who is just a joy to watch. He's fast, he's got all the skills and of course he scores plenty of tries. His strike rate speaks for itself, having scored 31 tries in 31 games for the All Blacks at international level and he's quickly approaching 100 if to add on his Tasman Mako and Crusader ones as well. However as we always hear on these episodes, the rugby professional rugby career is not just all good fun and scoring tries there are always ups and downs to go through with Will himself having had a tough run of late. Last year he suffered an unusual injury which had no time frame and left him struggling in a race against the clock to get back in time for the RWC. This year before the season has even started he's had to go under the knife on his shoulder which has ruled him out for the Super Rugby season. It was awesome to chat to Will about how he has handled some of these harder points in his career, as well as all the incredible things he has done recently including a very strong Rugby World Cup. As you'll hear, Will is one of the easiest guys to have a conversation with, he has a great mind for the game and is just an all round champion lad!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Two teams folded (for now). One team packed up and relocated to the sunny hills of L.A. Another new team in the Queen City with a focus on young American MLR minutes. After Glendale came and went, followed by Gilly-Gate, did anyone actually think the MLR Front Office timeline could get any wackier? Yet here we are. Year 7 loading and the shield has never looked shinier. With World Rugby's decision to financially back Anthem Rugby Carolinas, we've been tapped as the rugby union of the future (fingers crossed it will all work out). Will the 2031 RWC be a smashing success, or will gigantic stadiums be left under attended? We've got seven more years to get it as supercharged as we can before we host the pinnacle event. With seven years in, and seven to go ... how will MLR shake out in a pivotal year? The men's Eagles have to begin a winning form heading into future RWC Qualifiers. The only way to do that is to have a thriving domestic comp to select the best players from. As of now, all teams have enough talent to win games. Charlotte, Miami and LA may have a learning curve being fresh-out-the-box franchises, but there's no doubt all three clubs will win big games throughout the season. So the ultimate question is ... who will rise up and hoist the shield come August 3rd at Snap Dragon Stadium in San Diego? Can New England repeat and defend their crown? Can the Legion return to the final and win in front of a home crowd? Will Seattle become the first franchise to win three titles ... (and does that count as a dynasty?) Depth is always a factor leading into playoffs ... Who is healthy at the right time? With 16 game regular season, followed up with 3 rounds of knock out rugby, which squads will have the player depth to see it through? The regular season ends June 29th, and the PLAYOFFS?! begin THREE WHOLE WEEKS LATER. Yes, this is to accommodate the summer test rugby window .... but we've never seen a break like this in any major sports league heading into the knockout rounds. Will this elongated break allow teams to get healthier, and will that result in more appealing QF matchups? Or will the fans' summer attentions spans dwindle and result in poor attendances? Knowing the average temps throughout the US in late July, we don't need Paris Hilton to tell us "That's Hot". We know the hardcore fans will ride and die in blistering temps for a home knockout game, but will the casuals fans show up? After all, if we want to fill our stadiums come RWC 2031, it's the Casuals that we need to be winning over. With a balanced 12 team league, the fans will be happy to absorb all the rugby we can each week. Six games a weekend ain't bad. Maybe shedding wavering investors like snake skin will be good for the league in the long-term. Until 2031 arrives, we'll still be holding our breath every off-season when the capital calls are due. In the meantime, the show goes on... PICKEM!

On this episode of Engage, Captain Ian Turner of the Scheduling Committee and Captain Rich Wheeler, Chairman of the Negotiating Committee, are back again to discuss new contract implementation items that started in January 2024 beyond pay rate and 401(k) DC contribution increases. The group discusses new items such as improved sit pay provisions and increase to training pay for CQ and Recency type events, training golden days, new theater qualification provisions that provide pilots more flexibility, along with a completely new feature for pilots bidding reserve called “Reserve with Conflict” – a unique enhancement for Reserve pilots. Rich and Ian explain how pilots may want to use this new voluntary feature, RWC, to their advantage. They also discuss contract interpretation issues and clarify how ALPA and the Company are working to resolve these issues. (Recorded January 22, 2024)  Resources: Negotiator's Notepad 24-01: NN-24-01.pdf (alpa.org)
