On the first episode of Super Smack Internationals, the boys discuss a narrow win from the All Blacks over a supposedly weak French ‘B’ team, and how the old foe almost snuck one past us…again. We ask, are we too arrogant as a rugby nation and what is Razor’s comeback plan? We chat about the great Barrett dynasty and Francis Douglas Memorial and the boys devise a solution to cauliflower ear. We also dissect the internationals matches from around the world and take a deep dive into what is happening

The Chosen Ones

The Chiefs bounce back from last week’s TKO, to eliminate Australia’s one last hope for super rugby glory, running well away from the Brumbies in Hamilton.Ra has a rant about whinging players and we discuss the return of the beautiful biff.

Unlucky Loser

Super Smack ·

2025/06/08

This week on the pod, the confusing playoff format shows its ugly face, as the Chiefs use their one remaining life-line to advance to the semis, after a big old slip-up to the Blues in Hamilton. The Crusaders do what we all expected them to; Paste the Reds on a wet and chilly Christchurch, upholding their title as the greatest playoffs team in history. And the Canberra cockroach (Brumbies), lay some revenge eggs at GIO to derail the Hurricanes season. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more

The Final Countdown

2025/06/03

On this week’s poddy, it’s almost finals time! And the boys struggle to understand the new playoffs rules and have a big old fight about it. The Chiefs say thanks very much, we’ll take top spot, as they hand the Highlanders a giant wooden spoon. The Blues silence some critics by spanking the very disappointing Tahs, and keeping the social media rivalry with their Auckland counterparts alive and kicking like an angry baby. The Canes continue their sublime winning form as they blow an utterly

A Penultimate Pounding

2025/05/26

This week on the pod, the boys investigate a murder - a absolute bloodbath on the mean streets of Hamilton, as the Chiefs mercilessly bash Moana Pasifika and leave them for dead in the alley behind Lone Star. The boys chat about the big injuries to the Hurricanes as they prepare for finals time, as well as what they’d do in a testicular emergency.

This week on the pod, the men from the Waikato show their true metal, as they deal to the Crusaders away from home in a crucial championship clash.The Blues refuse to succumb to the Fiji hoodoo and wallop a pretty woeful Drua to keep their season well and truly alive.

An Absolute Caning

On this week’s show, Gareth can’t stop smiling and Ra can’t stop crying, as the in-form Hurricanes finally get their revenge for last year’s semi final.

Lest We Forget

Super Smack ·

The table-topping Chiefs pull off a scintillating performance without their major general, DMac. It turns out that Red is definitely better than Blue in a lacklustre showing from the reining champions. The Savea brothers pull on the same uniform and do battle together for the first time since they shipped out from Wellington, the sickeningly slick Crusaders outclass the hapless Highlanders in Dunedin, and the Brumbies have an unwanted visit to the proctologist as Billy and the Hurricanes muster up a

The Resurrection

Super Smack ·

2025/04/21

This special Easter round saw this season’s first draw between the Force and the Canes, after an anticlimactic ‘super point’, the Chiefs came back from the deep shame of last week and asserted their typical second half dominance to spank the men from the deep south, the Drua invoked ‘Sega na leqa’ and once again took victory at their hallowed Churchill Park, and the Blues failed at the death to get past a fired up and very mouthy and disgustingly clinical Crusaders forward pack.

An off night for D-Mac sees a major blowout in Sydney for the top-of-the-table Chiefs, a struggle for the Hurricanes in windy Wellington against a 13-man Crusaders outfit, several more bins destroyed in the second win on the trot for the reigning champions, and a Highlanders win that’s about as rare as hen’s teeth. Oh, and the Brumbies beat the Reds… Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for
