Another week and another step closer to Super Rugby Mzansi, or Currie Cup, or whatever, pretty sure SARU isn't sure yet either. Speaking of things no one is sure about, the guys also discuss the Eight Nations tournament, the Rugby Championship and Scott Robertson's coaching career (pay attention to this bit Rassie). The guys promised themselves that they'd keep it brief this, but then life happened. At least we managed to induce a blackout rant from Alex for what it's worth. Music by @monstroid,

Alex raves about the Blues, and the odyssey of Otere Black, Ben learned a bit about shoes and more importantly, speaks about the Canes while Matt,
