Liam Messam is one of the most beloved figures in New Zealand rugby. Two-time Super Rugby champion, All Black, World Cup winner, and a 20-year servant of the Chiefs. But behind the jersey is a story most people have never heard.Adopted at six weeks old into a Rotorua family that went on to foster close to a thousand children, Liam opens up about identity, belonging, and the household that gave him everything he is today.In this episode we get into the conversation with Gordon Titchens at 16 that changed the trajectory of his career, being cut from the 2011 World Cup squad and walking through Auckland Airport alone into a media scrum, what Chiefs Mana actually means and where it came from, why Gilbert Enoka personally called him to be part of the 2023 World Cup Human Library alongside Dan Carter, Richie McCaw and Keven Mealamu, leading the haka for the All Blacks after being voluntold by Keven Mealamu, getting a yellow card as a water boy at the World Cup, and completing an Ironman at 108kg with almost no marathon training.Plus lessons from Richie McCaw, Sonny Bill Williams and Dave Rennie, why he signed his last Waikato contract for $1, and how losing his mum to dementia shaped the brain health supplement brand he's building today.Steve and Seamus are proud to be dressed by the legends at Barkers Clothing.

Italy made history, beating England for the first time ever on their 33rd attempt. Can they rebuild before facing the French next week? We're not so sure. Meanwhile, Scotland pulled off a massive upset over France, denying the French a Grand Slam and blowing the Six Nations wide open heading into the final weekend. Now the title is still up for grabs, with Ireland and France both in the hunt in what promises to be a blockbuster finish. And Wales… the team we all confidently labelled as absolute rubbish… might not actually be rubbish. They went down to Ireland, but defended like demons and showed genuine signs of life, including one of the most glorious prop-forward tries you'll ever see. We also cover the huge news of Dave Rennie being appointed the next All Blacks coach through to the World Cup, wrap up all the Super Rugby action, and spend a completely reasonable amount of time gloating about the fact that our Blues beat the Crusaders… and we were there to see it.

The lads unpack a massive rugby weekend featuring Super Rugby chaos, Blitzboks success, and one of the most entertaining Six Nations rounds in years. We start down south with a Super Rugby check-in after four rounds: the Chiefs quietly looking strong, the Brumbies stumbling late against the Reds, the Crusaders flirting with panic mode, and the Force discovering that scoring points is easy… defending them is not. We also touch on Rugby Australia's latest league convert and what the looming World Cup might mean for player movement. A quick pit stop through Sevens (with the Blitzboks topping the standings) leads into the big news from New Zealand: Dave Rennie vs Jamie Joseph for the All Blacks job and what each candidate could bring to a slightly messy Kiwi setup. A special word for the Lions - 25/26 South African Shield Champions! What an achievement. Then it's time for the main course: Six Nations madness. • Italy shock England for the first time as selection roulette, brain-dead penalties, and general chaos sink Borthwick's men. • Scotland produce one of their best performances in years to hammer France before a late French fightback. • Ireland grind past Wales while Wales continue their slow rebuild. Along the way we discuss the brilliance of Menoncello, the resurgence of Kyle Steyn, whether Ireland have quietly regressed to “occasionally good” territory, and why England's selection decisions might have cost them the tournament. Finally, we preview a wild final weekend where France, Ireland, and Scotland can all still win the Six Nations—and we ask the real question: is there still a way England could somehow end up with the wooden spoon?

Dave Rennie's All Blacks era begins, and we're diving straight into the deep end.In this episode of The Bonus Point (recorded live at Three Weavers Brewing Company in Inglewood CA), Tj is joined by Alfonso Horomia (Pig Athletic - Rugby Heads Podcast) to break down one of the biggest coaching storylines in New Zealand rugby: Dave Rennie replacing Scott “Razor” Robertson as All Blacks head coach. We unpack how Robertson's tenure unraveled, what Rennie's Māori and Cook Islands background and coaching journey (Chiefs, Wallabies, Glasgow, Kobe) bring back to the black jersey, and why current and former players are so bullish on his ability to rebuild culture, clarity and edge. We also look ahead to the brutal “Rugby's Greatest Rivalry” tour of South Africa and ask what a long, old-school tour against the Springboks could do for this new-look All Blacks side.In the second half, we shift into Super Rugby Pacific mode. After four rounds, we talk through who's actually setting the pace: the Brumbies' consistency, the Chiefs' attacking fireworks, the Hurricanes' statement win, and what Beauden Barrett's return means for the Blues. We pick out early-season standouts, surprise performers, and a few red flags for the traditional powerhouses.To finish, we hit our Bonus Point segment with some fast-paced, rugby-themed questions and predictions to tie everything together—Rennie, the Boks tour, and the Super Rugby race.

The Blues found yet another soul-crushing way to lose, going down in the 81st minute in overtime. Yes, the 81st. Yes, Mark is still processing. No, he is not okay.The Crusaders finally remembered how to win, knocking off the Chiefs after the Waikato boys absolutely flew out of the blocks. The Drua defended the fortress in Lautoka, toppling a fancied Hurricanes side and proving that Fiji remains one of the most terrifying away trips in world rugby.With no major international storylines to anchor us, things got loose.

The Crusaders seemed to have silenced the doubters and put their season back on track with a comeback win over the Chiefs. NZ Teams have not had the greatest start against non-NZ based teams so how will the season play out, are Australia a major threat this season or merely a flash in the pan.

Pita Ahki is living proof that careers aren't always built in a straight line.From struggling for opportunities in New Zealand and watching contracts dry up, to being told by Toulouse doctors that he had a “bad knee” and might not even get signed — Ahki's journey could have gone very differently. Instead, he backed himself, took the gamble, and went on to become a 5x Top 14 champion and 2x Champions Cup winner in one of the toughest competitions in world rugby.In this episode of What a Lad, Pita opens up about the tough years at the Blues and Hurricanes, asking Super Rugby teams for any opportunity just to stay in the system, nearly walking away from the game after failing a medical in France, and the sliding doors moment that changed everything.In this episode, we cover…- Growing up in Auckland and the Kelston Boys brotherhood- Making NZ U20s and starting NPC straight out of school- The struggles of injury battles while trying to crack it- Asking Super Rugby teams for wider training — and getting nothing- Taking a six-month deal at Connacht just to stay alive in the game- Flying to Toulouse, signing a pre-contract, and being told he had a “bad knee”- Nearly walking away from rugby - Starting a Top 14 final and chasing that feeling year after year- Winning 5 Top 14 titles and 2 Champions Cups- Life in France, the culture, and playing with Antoine Dupont- Representing Tonga at a Rugby World Cup- Why he returned to the blues- And of course his memory of the classic Pita Pit prank!This episode is a deep dive into resilience, growth, sacrifice, and what it really takes to turn rejection into legacy. It's honest, reflective, and full of perspective from a man who's seen both sides of the game. Pita is a champion man, such a legend and it's awesome seeing him back out there in Super Rugby!

It was a weekend of our favourite sporting delicacy: beautiful, chaotic upsets and we are absolutely feasting. Ireland didn't just beat England… they systematically dismantled them, with Jamison Gibson-Park running the show like a man who had the English defence on puppet strings. Every counter looked dangerous, every breakdown felt Irish, and England had absolutely no answers. Down south, the rugby gods delivered something even more outrageous: the Crusaders didn't just lose — they got hammered. The Brumbies dropped a half-century on them in Christchurch for their first win there in 26 years. Nobody saw it coming, everybody enjoyed it (well… almost everybody). Wales, after weeks of looking like rugby's saddest soap opera, finally resembled a functioning rugby side again. They still went down to a street-tough, slightly fortunate Scotland — but at least this time there were signs of life and something to actually laugh with instead of at. We also get stuck into France continuing to look like the team to beat, Italy continuing to be awkwardly competitive, and a Super Rugby round that delivered chaos, entertainment, and confirmation that the Blues still look shaky even when they scrape past the Force. Upsets, chaos, schadenfreude, and a healthy dose of nonsense. Grab a beer and enjoy.
