Rugby Punt-it

The Boks put the W in Wellington, with Damian Willemse turning in a career performance, Manie and Siya shutting down the noise, and Rassie sneaking a Hooker onto the wing. Meanwhile in Sydney, Los Pumas held off a late Wallaby surge, but somehow it’s Australia sitting top of the log. From Wellington to Sydney, A weekend that left fans buzzing, coaches scratching heads, and the log wide open.

No easy wins, no freebies, and plenty of HIAs. The Boks have hit shuffle on the match 23 after the Auckland slip, but shaken? Not a chance. With new combinations set to be tested, all eyes are on how the green & gold bounce back. Meanwhile, Wilson chose courage over comfort, and with that one decision, the days of making up the numbers are over for the Wallabies.

A Punt-it & Kick On Rugby CollabThe Boks haven’t won at Eden Park since 1937, is this the game to break the curse? We break down the opening RC rounds, All Blacks’ aerial woes, Bok rotation gambles, and Razor’s pressure. Plus, some spicy Over/Underrated calls, brutal ‘Would You Rather’ scenarios, and our big match predictions. Punt-it & Kick On Rugby filling in for those weekend rugby blues!

It’s one win each after the first two rounds of the Rugby Champs, Superbru picks are in tatters, and the tournament is wide open. No second-half déjà vu for the Boks in the Cape, while the All Blacks will want to forget theirs as Los Pumas finally shook the monkey off their back. And as for the Wallabies? Write them off at your peril.

It was not a weekend for us and our fellow South Africans. not one Wallaby got tied down in Joburg mate. the Rgby Champs got underway and didn’t skip a beat. we take a look at where the Bokke can improve, the Aussies showing that history means nothing, the All Blacks breaking hearts in Argentina, and the consistently inconsistent Los Pumas.

Die Blou Bull weet nie van??? Heading home empty-handed again... 3 URC finals, 3 L’s, and not even a line break to brag about. Nienaber’s Leinster defence shut the gates, and the Blue Bulls are, well... feeling blue. Bath end a 29-year drought in style (cheers, Johan van Graan), and the Boks trim the squad to 45 as the international season looms. We break it all down and look ahead to what’s next for the men in green and gold.

Strap in, folks! It was semi-final weekend where Leinster ran riot (six tries!) while Glasgow forgot how to score. Bulls beat Sharks but needed three yellows to do it, talk about a breakdown boss job! Mapimpi and Willie showed class, but the Boks-in-waiting might already be dreaming of green jerseys. We look ahead to a final at Croke Park where Leinster’s rucks last about as long as a double Brandy at Loftus. We talk Tigers, Bath, a hamstrung Hanekom, Eben’s noggin, Crusaders’ unbeatable streak, and Handré’s perfect punt. All the banter and fok tjom moments you love... don’t miss it!

Unpacking the URC quarters, we dive into a Durban shootout of a different kind (we’re not bluffing). Viking sweat, déjà vu in the Storm, cheeky winks, and Bradley Davids’ big moment. Semi-final tickets up for grabs as we head to Loftus for an all-South African affair. Can the Warriors keep their crown?Tune in for the chat.

From A Rec to rugby royalty – Bath rise under Van Graan to lift the Challenge Cup, while Bordeaux banter their way to a first-ever Champions Cup crown. We break down the finals, preview the URC quarters, drop some dad jokes, dissect the 2027 World Cup draw, and serve up Superbru tips that will trigger the TMO.

Is Ronnie popular in Germany, or is his humor just too advanced for the land of efficiency and bratwurst? We try to find out while recapping a wild final URC round where all the South African teams won.The Stormers cruised past Cardiff, Bulls slayed the Dragons, Lions edged Ospreys, and the Sharks hit snooze before the alarms went off. With home quarter-finals for the Bulls and Sharks, we ask: are we too harsh on Durban's darlings?We also cover Willemse's red card, sky-high Bok ticket prices, and preview this weekend's Champions and Challenge Cup finals in Cardiff.Short, sharp, and probably not German-approved.

Leinster choke (again) as the Saints go marching in, Bordeaux dump out Toulouse, and suddenly the Top 14 isn't looking so top. Lyon edge Racing in a slugfest that leaves Faz seeing stars, just in time to add spice to the looming Lions squad announcement. Bath take care of Edinburgh to book a final against Lyon, and with chokers, chokeholds, and kissing cousins in the mix, this episode has more twists than a Farrell tackle review.

We recap a wild Champions Cup quarterfinals weekend—Leinster cruise, Castres disappear after halftime, and Bulls discipline costs them against Edinburgh. Toulouse edge Toulon, and Bath outmuscle Gloucester. In the URC, it’s the Biltong Series decider as Everitt eyes an SA clean sweep, the Bulls limp into Munster, and the Stormers reload. Back home UCT lift the Varsity Cup, BB overtakes Morne in Super Rugby history, and Kolbe flattens Marx in our My Fok Tjom moment of the week.

This week, we’re all about the 10's. From Sam Prendergast’s rising stock at Leinster to Marcus Smith’s magic (and mayhem) for Quins. We dive into the big-names lighting up Europe. Dan Biggar’s swansong in Toulon, Finn Russell fracturing things at Bath, Jack Crowley’s BMT, and Pollie's big move. Who’s thriving, who’s surviving, and who’s quietly waiting in the pocket? Could Owen Farrell, still be in the Lions frame? With class permanent and the tour looming, it’s a conversation worth having. Bold takes, plenty of chirps, and classic My Fok Tjom moments.

The Standard Tighthead and fishing with Felix, its onwards and upwards from here. Ronnie & Nick dive into the 6 Nations as Ireland slump to 3rd, Les Bleus got the job done, and England proved Nick very wrong. We cast our ears back to the pre-season predictions, the top performers and the My Fok Tjom moments

Nick’s eating his words faster than a prop at the buffet as England do the dirty to the French. Ireland make it 11 against the Scots and Italy ensure the Welsh nosedive continues (Cheers Gats). The Bulls exorcised their Cape Town demons, the serious Malherbe & the awkward Saffa.

Well spirited copy cats with backs against the wall as the 6 Nations got underway. The dark horse, the flying Frenchmen & the Dublin All Blacks were the talk of the town. we also take a look ahead to the upcoming North v South derby, round 2 of the 6 Nations and the latest news.

Heads, shoulders, knee’s of glass... It was a mixed bag of URC action over the weekend as more Boks end up on the injury list. the Jukskei derby, the backfire of the 6/2 split and the big but skeptical win in Wales. Join us as we delve into the upcoming 6 Nations and drop our predictions for the tournament winners and wooden spooners.

Coconut trees or it’s not a beach... Nick & Ronnie are back after a cracking weekend of Champions & Challenge Cup rugby. It wasn’t all doom & gloom but My Fok Tjom it wasn’t all that pretty.
