Podcasts about super round

Hospitality businesses in Christchurch have had a big boost to the winter coffers thanks to rugby's Super Round in the city's new stadium. Richard Sinke, owner of Dux Central spoke to John Campbell.

This week on the KOKO Show we are joined by our favourite Trans-Tasman talisman, a bloke that brings the vibes to Kiwi Rugby and used to go by the nickname Sops but now for obvious reasons now goes by Slops. It is the one and only Mr Lima Sopoaga. With Lima riding pillion on this hot throbbing hog of a podcast, the boys get stuck into the Super Rugby Playoff picture, they reminisce about the Highlanders win in 2015 and they talk about how the kiwis can find the motivation to win in absolutely anything. Plus, the lads have a little fun with a game we like to call ‘A Schooner Of…' where they have to name a beverage that best suits a certain rugby union superstar. Despite the fact that Swoop's Temu Cupboard is still shut for a few more weeks the content mastermind was hard at work with a new segment called ‘The Great Pie Off'. In this segment the boys taste test three pies from Aus and NZ to crown the ultimate thick crust king. So sit back, relax and insert your electronic chess cheating device of choice. This show is about to blow Magnus Carlsen out of the bloody water. It is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

The Blues' new Chief Executive Karl Budge has already marked his tenure with some bold statements. His brazen desire to hijack the wildly successful Super Round from Christchurch is an audacious move for the administrator who has an enviable record of success across the sports he has been involved in, notably tennis' ASB Classic. Like the target on the back of the Super Round, arguably a revery based dart, his pronouncement that the Blues home base Eden Park should be the teams' superpower is as fanciful as the Super raid. It's unlikely that the Blues could regularly stuff the park to near capacity, such is the palpable lack of success the team has experienced, and the yawning emptiness that the stadium presents when a meagre crowd is in attendance. However, even though Karl's pipe dream appears to be based on ambition cloaked in hope, the mere fact that he has approached this matter with such unabashed positivity, speaks volumes for his ‘why not?' philosophy in sport management. Along with the Hurricanes owner's calls for mass change in the Super Rugby ownership arena, the broom that has gone through NZR and the fresh approach in Super Rugby navigation, I dare say the want for an acceleration in Blues attendance-based passion isn't as sky-based pie as we would think. Karl also has a key ally in the limitless enthusiasm and drive of Eden Park CEO Nick Sauntner. If the Blues are to rise again and bring the ever-expanding Auckland populace along for the ride, these to blokes are the men to do it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Crusaders are back in their brand-new stadium. After christening the One NZ Stadium with a 35-20 victory over the Waratahs during Super Round, tonight's clash will see them go head-to-head with the Blues. Over 73 thousand fans walked through the stadium during its opening weekend, and it looks like it will be packed out tonight, tickets expected to sell out. Crusaders CEO Colin Mansbridge told Mike Hosking they expect to keep selling-out based on demand to date, which will be great for the club. He says moving into the new stadium is a sea change for them, and it'll have a very positive result. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Finishing halves strong is a key focus for the Blues as Super Rugby Pacific approaches its business end. The Aucklanders conceded 26 of their 33 points to the Reds in the last 10 minutes of each half at Super Round, a week after conceding 21 points to the Highlanders in the same time frame. This weekend they're travelling across the bridge to take on Moana Pasifika at North Harbour Stadium. Stephen Perofeta is making his starting return to the side after sitting out since round three, and joined D'Arcy to preview the clash.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. Christchurch: 9/10 The stadium, the opening, the spend, the party, and the vibe. That is what all of New Zealand should be. The Washington Hilton: 1/10 Between yet more violence and yet more conspiracy from all sides, too much of America is irreparably sick. King Charles: 8/10 By any standards or count, a tour de force. Solid, statesman-like, witty, clever and brilliantly executed. It is soft power, awesome diplomacy, brilliant engagement, all wrapped up in a flash royal bow. Winston vs the National Party: 4/10 I get it's election year. I get National are bleeding support to NZ First. But if they're not careful someone is going to say one thing or do one thing a bit edgier than they might have been expected, and it will all hit the fan. The diesel deal: 8/10 Another reminder that when Peters isn't stirring, the Coalition has actually handled the real issues pretty damn well.

The Leicester Fainga'anuku experiment seemed to work a treat for the Crusaders at Super Round in his maiden start at openside flanker when they beat the Waratahs 35-20. But is this a sustainable selection, and will this be able to translate over to the international stage? Former Crusaders captain Reuben Thorne joined D'Arcy to discuss.

Super Round heads to the brand-new Te Kaha Stadium in Christchurch… and what a way to christen it. A full weekend of footy, packed stands, cracking atmosphere, and a proper festival feel — the kind of rugby showcase Super Rugby dreams about. The stadium? Unreal. The crowds? Even better. The results? Well… depends which side of the Tasman you're sitting on. The Kiwi teams absolutely ran the table. The Crusaders kicked things off by beating Waratahs, sending the Christchurch faithful home very happy in game one. The Blues nearly gave their fans heart failure but somehow scraped past the Queensland Reds in full squeaky-bum, extra-time chaos — thanks in part to a late penalty from Fraser McReight that went the wrong way. The Highlanders got the job done over Moana Pasifika, while the Chiefs handled the Fijian Drua. And the Hurricanes? Fehi Fineanganofo, WHAT A FREAK, too bad he's going to Newxastle. All in all — an absolute belter of a weekend, unless you're Australian… in which case, maybe skip this one. We crack a couple of beers, break down the action, butcher a few names, and talk a healthy amount of nonsense along the way. Grab a beer and enjoy

After a mammoth three-day rugby extravaganza at Christchurch's new stadium, fans and central city business-owners are delighted with how the weekend went. Around 75,000 people went to Super Round matches, with bars having some of their busiest days ever. Rachel Graham has more.

Welcome back to the Pick and Go podcast. It was a super weekend of Super Rugby as we celebrated Super Round in Christchurch. It was an amazing round of rugby and has left many wanting more Super Round action. The Crusaders did what needed to be done and put the win on the board to create history. There will be questions of the Warratahs performance and did they play with too much respect for the opposition? The NZ teams walked away with the wins and now 4 teams are in the top 5 of Super Rugby, so which team will go on to take out the comp?

Leicester Fainga'anuku's man of the match performance for the Crusaders at open side has everyone talking. But is it the best way to use the hybrid centre/winger?He's an elite player but will it work for the Crusaders against elite Super Rugby opposition, never mind the All Blacks versus the Springboks?This is less about the player, and more about whether the role stacks up under pressure.We also talk Super Round, whether the losers of Golden Point get ripped off on the table and the Black Ferns' first title under Whitney Hansen.Catch all our content across @aotearoarugbypodofficial channels Hosted on Acast.

Businesses surrounding Christchurch's new stadium are buzzing about the first big event this weekend. Anna Sargent reports.

Welcome back to the Pick and Go podcast. It is the Super Round of Super Rugby where all eyes will be on Christchurch and their new stadium as teams from all over the Super Rugby map converge in the the city for what will be an epic weekend of rugby? With it being Super Round and something a bit different we're asking the panel what rule would they love to introduce for one week only? We take a look back at the weekend's games and wonder if the games were super enough to have been Super Round games. We finish off picking Dave Rennie's first ABs squad by selecting the bench and with a number of great performances over the weekend who managed to get in our team?
