A chance to open next year's Rugby World Cup with a blockbuster Wallabies-All Blacks clash has been passed by. Organisers have opted to kick-off the tournament with Australia taking on Hong Kong on October 1, with the All Blacks facing Chile the following day. The move is being labelled as a play to keep interest levels “alive”. International Rugby Players' Association CEO Omar Hassanein told Mike Hosking getting a mostly guaranteed win in the first match is important, and while one would like to hope Australia could beat the All Blacks, form over the last decades indicates they may struggle. He says the opening match in Peth is likely to sell out regardless of opposition, so it was a tactical ploy to ensure Australia stays in the tournament and momentum continues.

Sean Maloney joins Brett McKay and Harry Jones on The 8/9 Combo Rugby Podcast, fresh from the SVNS World Series circuit rolling from Dubai to Cape Town, and ready to wrap up the rugby year for the SANZAAR nations. There's the Springboks' disgusting embarrassment of playing depth riches, there's the All Blacks' surprising and maybe infuriating conservatism, there's the Wallabies sending flowers but then not showing up at the in-laws, and then there's Argentina, who might just be timing their run to the 2027 RWC beautifully. #rugby #rugbypodcast #89Combo #internationalrugby #NovemberTests #AutumnNationsSeries #SouthAfrica #NewZealand #Ireland #France #England #Argentina #Australia #Scotland #Fiji #Italy #Wales #Japan 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.

Allan Bunting is departing as Black Ferns coach. New Zealand Rugby has undertaken a review of the side's programme after their third at the World Cup. Bunting —who's carried the "Director of Performance" title since 2023— has confirmed he won't apply for the new role. An appointment is expected by Christmas.

Charlie Morgan once again joins Brett McKay and Harry Jones on The 8/9 Combo Rugby Podcast as the Autumn Nations Series and November Tests heads into what looks like the most intriguing weekend of matches so far. Three of the six matches really stand out: England v New Zealand in London and Ireland v Australia in Dublin both on Saturday, followed by Scotland v Argentina in Edinburgh on Sunday. All three look intriguing as match-ups, it feels like there's an upset somewhere, and the rankings implications for RWC seedings are clear - even if the situation for Australia is perhaps a bit better than many think. #rugby #rugbypodcast #89Combo #internationalrugby #NovemberTests #AutumnNationsSeries #SouthAfrica #NewZealand #Ireland #France #England #Argentina #Australia #Scotland #Fiji #Italy #Wales #Japan 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.

South Africa have overcome a red card and France in Paris, Italy has conquered Australia again, and Scotland were just one Damien McKenzie away from history against New Zealand, and Brett McKay and Harry Jones pull it all apart on the Weekend Post-Mortem for The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast. The second weekend of Autumn Nations Series and November Internationals has thrown up some engrossing performances, if perhaps predicted results, and there is plenty to discuss as always. Will France learn their lessons from the 2023 RWC now? Did the Springboks play better with 14? Surely the Wallabies have to make adjustments now, after their most disappointing capitulation of 2025? And did Scotland just underline ongoing issues for New Zealand? #rugby #rugbypodcast #89Combo #WeekendPostMortem #internationalrugby #NovemberTests #AutumnNationsSeries #SouthAfrica #NewZealand #Ireland #France #England #Argentina #Australia #Scotland #Fiji #Italy #Wales #Japan 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.

Brett McKay and Harry Jones are back on The 8/9 Combo Rugby Podcast after one of them went missing temporarily in Chicago, and they've teamed up with Martin Devlin from the DSPN in New Zealand for a look back on the Ireland-All Blacks game at Solider Field. What was it that clicked on the hour for NZ? How did Ireland lose control of the match so quickly? And what on earth was going on with the set-up? No referee comms in the stadium, no TMO replays and decision on the big screens, and the pièce de resistance, the sight of referee and ARs having to go and watch replays on a sideline monitor. As big Martin thinks the All Blacks problems might be, the 2031 RWC in the US is only eight years away. #rugby #rugbypodcast #89Combo #internationalrugby #NovemberTests #AutumnNationsSeries #SouthAfrica #NewZealand #Ireland #France #England #Argentina #Australia #Scotland #Fiji #Italy #Wales #Japan 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.

How on earth did the URC Judicial process suspend Jan-Hendrik Wessels for so long with so little corroborating evidence? What is the Welsh equivalent of Suntory or Toshiba?

While everyone's focused on NIO's 70-day countdown to profitability, institutional money started moving. RWC Asset Management just disclosed they bought $14.5 million worth of NIO shares in Q3 2025, scaling their position from $100,000 to over $20 million - a 200X increase.What do they see that made them go all-in right now?In today's episode, I break down three major NIO developments from October 27, 2025:RWC's $14.5M Bet:Purchased 2.7 million shares during Q3 2025Position grew from ~$100K to $20.83 millionNow represents 1.01% of their $2 billion portfolioRWC's portfolio is mostly mature value plays (Macy's, HP, Cisco) - NIO stands outThey bought DURING the turnaround, not before it (Q3 = July-Sept when momentum became obvious)90 Million Battery Swaps Milestone:NIO hit 90 million swaps just 100 days after 80 millionNow performing 100,000+ battery swaps per dayFirst 1 million swaps took 29 months, latest 10 million took 100 days (acceleration)4.75 billion kWh dispensed = enough to power 2.37 million households for a year100 millionth swap expected January 2026This infrastructure creates a moat that gets stronger with scaleUS Demand Survey Results:Over 50% of US buyers now open to Chinese EV brands like NIO and BYDDespite significant data privacy concerns and government scrutinyShows product-market fit exists, but regulatory/political barriers remainNot an actionable catalyst for 2025-2026, but signals latent demandThe Investment Thesis:RWC isn't waiting for Q4 profitability to be achieved - they're positioning BEFORE the announcement. If you wait until NIO reports a profitable quarter, the stock will already be repriced. They're buying the setup, not the result.But let's be clear: RWC put 1% of their portfolio into this. That's not "bet the farm" conviction. That's "attractive risk-reward given the setup" conviction. As Motley Fool notes, "NIO remains a risky stock to own. Investors should treat it as a speculative bet."What We're Actually Betting On:✅ Three-brand strategy execution (working so far)⏳ Production scaling to 15K ES8/month by December (in progress)⏳ Q4 profitability target (70 days to find out)❓ Sustained profitability beyond Q4 (the real test)What I'm Watching:November delivery numbers (October results due early Nov)ES8 production updates (need 15K/month by December)More institutional 13F filings showing Q3 positionsBattery swap daily volume trendsThis is news-driven analysis for investors who want to understand what's happening beyond the headlines. I'm long NIO, but I'm not here to pump or spread fear - just breaking down what the smart money is doing and what it means.NIO stock is up 58.3% year-to-date as of October 24, 2025, trading at $6.90 with a $17 billion market cap.

Sport fans are spoiled for choice with the Silver Ferns, All Blacks and Black Ferns all in action - the latter fighting it out for 3rd place at the Women's RWC.

Ep. 165 : La Bristôle ! Pas de miracle pour Les Bleues! Coupe du Monde Féminine 2025 demi-finalesDans un stade bouillant où notre chère Amélie criait parfois plus fort que 25000 anglais, les françaises ont tutoyé les étoiles avant de rentrer dans le rang. Après une mi-temps à vendanger les occasions, les françaises tournaient à -2 et c'était pour les Red Roses un petit miracle tant elles avaient été dominées, marquant leur seul essai d'entrée sur une grossière erreur de défense… Il ne fallait pas plus de cadeaux aux anglaises pour reprendre le deuxième acte par le bon bout et renvoyer les vaillantes bleues à leurs études. Avec cette 17e défaite de rang face à des anglaises solides mais pas invincibles, il va falloir se poser les bonnes questions, et surtout apporter les bonnes réponses sans chercher les coupables ailleurs que dans les actrices (et acteurs en tribune) de cette demi-finale. Dans l'autre demie, les canadiennes sont venues à bouts des Black Ferns de Nouvelle Zélande avec une belle marge, dans un match de toute beauté. Cela annonce une finale Cananda / Angleterre aussi indécise qu'alléchante entre deux équipes pleines de convictions et d'ambitions. Que les meilleures gagnent !! Et bien sur on continue à soutenir nos Bleues pour la petite finale France / NZ de ce RWC 2025 ce samedi !Bon mercredi avec le pack!

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. Expect botched picks, bruised egos, and a few players who were drafted purely for their haircuts. Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show.

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.

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.

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.

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.
