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 to Welsh rugby, as the once mighty dragons hit a record 18 losses in a row after succumbing to Japan.

The Chosen Ones
On this week’s pod, the boys talk semi finals footy, with a couple of big games. We discuss the Blues exit from the competition and what they possibly got up to in their end of season celebrations, as the Crusaders extend their unbeaten finals run to 31-0. 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. And in anticipation of next week’s All Black Selection, the boys pick their starting lineups for the French series. All this and much more! Hosted on Acast.

Unlucky Loser
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 information.

The Final Countdown
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 exhausted Moana Pasifika off the park in Welly. And the Reds play the Drua in an absolutely no-point, may-as-well-not-have-played exhibition match. It’s all to play for next week! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
