The Lesser of Two Weevils

Super Smack ·

2025/11/18

It happens once in a blue moon - the All Blacks lose to the English at Twickenham. Not since 2012 have the Red Roses secured a win over the men in black on their home soil. And they did it in emphatic fashion as only the Poms can, by singing a well known slavery song at top volume over the haka. A classic colonial move, but boy did it pay off. After a solid start from the All Blacks, the English ran over the top of them, dominating them in almost all facets of the game. New Zealand have had a big

McKenzie the Brave

It’s 2 from 2 in the Autumn Series for the All Blacks, as they eye the ultimate prize - a grand slam. The AB’s were too good in the end for a valiant Scottish side, who had to drag themselves back from a 17-0 drubbing by half time.But it was one All Black in particular who broke the hearts of 68,000 Scotland fans, and cemented Murrayfield as the All Black’s spiritual home-away-from-home. Sir Damian of McKenzie showed up half way through the second act once again to put on a dominant performance and

Splitting the G

Revenge is sweet. It’s even sweeter against Ireland. Yes the All Blacks have made in three in a row now against their new foe and it seems like it’s back to the old days. We dissect the mess of a game it was, unjustified red cards and sloppy performances. But there is a silver lining! The final twenty is back and it’s looking as All Black as ever. We preview this weekend’s matchup at Murrayfield. Will the Scots put up a good fight, led by the fishmonger Finn Russell? Or will the men in black be too

It’s take two in Chicago, as the All Blacks and Ireland meet for the second time at Soldier Field.

Battle of the South

2025/10/19

The NPC has finally reached its peak, as we head into the grand final. And it’s only fitting that the number 1 & 2 teams from the competition will face each other in one last clash. Will the in-form Otago win their first title since 1998 and lock away all the silverware til next season, or will Canterbury do what Canterbury do best, pipping teams when it matters most. Who will win the battle of the South and take the crown as national provincial champion?We discuss the upcoming 2026 tour of

This week on the show, we dissect a thrilling quarter final round in the Bunnings NPC, as four teams get one step closer to the title.Otago make a clutch play through first-five Cam Millar (and a rather dodgy drop goal attempt) to push out a valiant Mooloos team in the dying seconds. Season leaders Canterbury get the scare of their life from the spirited Counties Manukau underdogs, but manage to scrape a win together in extra time, in true Canterbury fashion. And it’s two wins for the two Bays, as

Close, But No Cigar

On this week’s show we dissect the final round of what has been one of the greatest and closest Rugby Championships in recent memory. The All Blacks managed to back up the Eden Park victory with another win over the Aussies in Perth, making it 11 straight victories over the old foe. We discuss the stand-ins and the stand-outs. Have we finally found our centre pairing or is there more gold to be mined on the northern tour?The finals of the NPC are upon us and it promises to be a doozy - can

This week on the pod, the Bledisloe is back. Well it never left! For the 23rd year in a row, the All Blacks win the unnecessarily giant trophy. And the poor old Wallabies are furious at the ref, who they’re well and truly blaming for the loss. The Springboks are just showing off now, and being a right pain in everyone’s arses by being the best at absolutely everything. The All Blacks still have a chance of winning the Rugby Championship, if South Africa have something go terribly wrong, like, I

This week on the pod, the boys in blue are taking the shield back to Dunners! That’s right, Otago have stolen the shield from Canterbury for the first time since 1948, and in emphatic fashion. The NPC continues to turn it on in 2025 , with more big wins this weekend, including a 75 point demolition of Southland by a storming Wellington Lions. What do the playoffs hold in store?

This week on the pod, the Wellington curse continues as the All Blacks get absolutely spanked by a rampant Springboks side in the biggest and certainly one of the most embarrassing losses in the history of our great team. How the hell do they bounce back from this one, as they head into another Eden Park defence against the Wallabies in two weeks. The NPC rubs salt into the wound for the Super Smack boys, as Wellington and the BOP both take losses and have their seasons hanging in the balance.There

This week on the pod, the boys bask in the glory of a solid victory against the Springboks at Eden Park, making the record an even more impressive 51-0. Ardie Savea brought up his 100th in style with the most epic of turnovers. We discuss his spiritual leadership within the team and ask - should Scott Barrett should still be captain? And who’s going to step in for Emoni Narawa now that Sevu has gone to work for ANZ Bank?The Wallabies get back to the ways of old, with a brave and and decisive victory

This week on the pod, the NPC continues to impress as the Southland Stags travel up to Hamilton and steal the shield from one-hit-wonders Waikato. It’s the biggest thing to happen to Southland since cheese rolls. Will it make it back to Invercargill in one piece? Canterbury continue their winning ways, as the only unbeaten team, and what the hell is happening with rugby in Auckland, as the teams either side of the bridge fail to secure a win so far this season.

Will Jordan has his worst game in the All Blacks jersey - and we all thought he was invincible!The Ranfurly Shield is heading off to Hamilton, as one old veteran, replaces another old veteran, to stage a second half comeback in Taranaki.

This week on the poddy, the Wallabies have done what pretty much nobody thought they could - they’ve slain the King on the doorstep of his own bloody castle. Wallabies 38 - Springboks 22 at Ellis Park! Will they do it again next week or will the green machine come remember they’re world champions? The All Blacks continue their winning ways with a pretty convincing victory over the Pumas in Argentina, albeit a bit scrappy.It looks like this year’s Rugby Championship could be anyone’s trophy to claim

This week on the pod, the title says it all - Richie Mo’unga is back, and we’re happy about it. Who will miss out now that he’s back on home turf? All Black debutant Leroy Carter almost misses the plain to Buenos Aries, with the wrong kind of dog ears on his passport. Another powerhouse Crusader makes a triumphant return to NZ rugby. And some solid wins from some very solid teams - essentially just Bay of Plenty and Wellington - give an early indication of who might the lift the trophy this year

On the poddy this week, the lads discuss the torrential downpour of a finale to the Lions’ Australian tour, as the Wallabies get the last word and send the Lions back to the UK with a bit less wag in their tail. They say lightning never strikes twice, but did it even strike once? - we discuss the bonkers 40 minute time-out for the lightning that never came. We dissect the new All Blacks squad naming for the rugby championship - who misses out and who gets lucky. And the NPC takes the boys completely

And who’s left to sweat in the lead up to Razor naming his squad for the upcoming rugby championship? We chat about the various injuries and niggles floating around the All Blacks camp and just how long Beaudy will be nursing his hand before he returns to the golf course.

On the pod this week, the boys discuss the second week of the July internationals. The All Blacks set the record straight with a dominant first half display against the French to lock up the series. We discuss who should be in and who gets left out for Game 3. Wales finally end the pain by clinching their first victory in 644 days, against a valiant Japanese side.
