In this week's BizNews Rugby Show, former Springboks Juan de Jongh and Rudy Paige join insider Rory Steyn and co-host Patrick Kidd for a lively, wide-ranging conversation on the upcoming URC quarterfinals and their remarkable rugby journeys - from small-town beginnings to the world stage.

Rugby YouTube star Huw Griffin makes a rapid return back to The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast with Brett McKay & Harry Jones, as the fallout from the Champions Cup Final celebrations continue. Zebra-related injuries are not something a team typically plans for, but may feature in reviews of Bordeaux's European campaign. From there, the URC moves into knockout mode, with Quarter Finals to be played in Scotland, South Africa, and Ireland this weekend, and with upsets possible in one, maybe two games at a stretch. Super Rugby Pacific and the Premiership line up for their final rounds of the season, and with most games having some degree of bearing on playoff berths. Plus, it's the penultimate round of Top 14 in France and MLR in the States, and Grand Final weekend in Japan.

Edinburgh coach Sean Everitt insists his team needs to storm out of their castle instead of being preoccupied defending it when they take on the Bulls in their United Rugby Championship quarter-final at Lofts Versfeld on Saturday. Everitt told the hosts of To The Last Drop his team will have to stick to what has worked for them this season if they are going to optimise their performance in Pretoria. Edinburgh is undaunted about the task facing them to win at Loftus for the first time and they draw inspiration from compatriots Glasgow Warriors' win in Pretoria in last year's final. Bulls director of rugby Jake White meanwhile underlined the need for his team to dictate terms from the start of the match. In their last clash against Edinburgh they failed to do so and paid the price. To The Last Drop hosts predict a difficult afternoon for the Sharks in their clash against Munster but expect the hosts to win in Durban if they exercise good game management. They expect the Stormers to have their hands full in their clash against the Warriors in Glasgow.

Is Ronnie popular in Germany, or is his humor just too advanced for the land of efficiency and bratwurst? We try to find out while recapping a wild final URC round where all the South African teams won.The Stormers cruised past Cardiff, Bulls slayed the Dragons, Lions edged Ospreys, and the Sharks hit snooze before the alarms went off. With home quarter-finals for the Bulls and Sharks, we ask: are we too harsh on Durban's darlings?We also cover Willemse's red card, sky-high Bok ticket prices, and preview this weekend's Champions and Challenge Cup finals in Cardiff.Short, sharp, and probably not German-approved.

Legendary Sky Sport NZ commentator Tony Johnson joined Brett McKay & Harry Jones on The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast this week, as they try to get to the bottom of just why 2025 has been the best start to a Super Rugby season in living memory. And it's not an easy question with one simple answer. It's not just that all the Australian team are competitive. It's not just that anyone can beat anyone on any give weekend. It's not just that the demise of the Melbourne Rebels has boosted depth in other squads. It might be the do with it being a Lions Tour year, and the extra jeopardy that brings. It might be weather-related, and the fact that it's been a nice summer on both sides of the Tasman. It's quite likely all of the above.   Whatever the reason or reasons, it has been a wonderful start to the Super Rugby Pacific season.   Games of the Week: SRP Rd.7: Hurricanes v Waratahs, Wellington URC Rd.14: Ulster v Stormers, Belfast Premiership Rd.13: Bath v Harlequins, the Rec Top 14 Rd.20: Clermont v La Rochelle, Clermont League One Week 15: Canon Eagles v Toyota Verblitz, Tokyo MLR Rd.6: Houston SaberCats v San Diego Legion, Houston   #rugby #rugbypodcast #89Combo #SuperRugbyPacific #UnitedRugbyChampionship #Premiership #Top14 #JapanRugbyLeagueOne #MajorLeagueRugby   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.

John Maytham is joined by Stormers head coach, John Dobson, to discuss the Derby duel between the Stormers and the lions, set to take place on Saturday- Stay tuned! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rugby: Die Stormers pak die Bulle sonder verskeie eerstekeuse-spelers in vandag se Verenigde Rugbykampioenskapswedstryd in Kaapstad. Manie Libbok, Ruhan Nel, Neethling Fouché, JD Schickerling en Ali Vermaak is almal beseer. Dit is baie slegte nuus vir 2021/22 se kampioen, wat tans maar 12de op die punteleer is. 'n Oorwinning oor hul aartsvyand kan hulle egter laat opskuif tot onder die voorste agt, en 'n plek in die uitspeelronde. Die wedstryd begin vanmiddag 2-uur op die Kaapstad-stadion.Willem Strauss, die president van die Blou Bulle, is in Kaapstad.

Die GOOD-party herhaal sy oproep op die Stad Kaapstad om met bedryfskenners, akademici, mediese dokters en marienebewaringskundiges te skakel oor die toetsprotokolle by die metro se strande. 'n Inwonergedrewe ondersoek het die teenwoordigheid van rioolbesoedeling op sekere Kaapse strande in November en Desember verlede jaar gevind. Suzette Little van GOOD sê Netwerk24 het berig dat die Stormers se senter, Dan du Plessis, het na bewering 'n E. Coli-infeksie opgedoen na hy in Kampsbaai geswem het.
