The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast

Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones launch into another Test Match post-mortem before giving it too much thought, with this week's fulltime focus is on South Africa’s 18-12 win over New Zealand with Harry still there in Cape Town, and Argentina’s record 67-27 thumping of Australia in Santa Fe. It’s South Africa’s fourth straight win over the All Blacks for the first time since 1949, while Los Pumas recorded their biggest ever win over Australia – and it’s the Wallabies worst loss in their history. And all that leading into two Bledisloe Cup Tests… Brought to you by Chasing the Sun 2 coming soon to RugbyPass TV – head to rugbypass.tv and sign up for FREE, to watch wherever you are in the rugby world!

Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones are back with another Rugby Championship edition of their end-of-week offering, Games of the Week – where this week Harry has shifted south to Cape Town for the second leg of the Greatest Rugby Rivalry between the Springboks and All Blacks. An intriguing contest awaits, with both sides making changes that hint to potential tweaks of their approach for the game. In Argentina, an equally fascinating return leg looms between Los Pumas and the Wallabies, though Australia will be without a couple of really important players.

Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones are joined on The 8-9 Combo by former Argentinean centre turned commentator Marcelo Bosch, to recap the Wallabies late win over Los Pumas in horrible conditions in La Plata, which now sets up an enticing return contest in Santa Fe – in much nicer weather – this weekend coming. The return match represents a real contrast, where the game could be both tight and open, the result both close and high-scoring. Argentina and Australia find themselves in kind of similar situations right now, and this week’s episode is a great chance to learn more about rugby in Argentina, where Los Pumas remain the pinnacle, but the pathways have been significantly impacted by the loss of the Jaguares from Super Rugby.

Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones are back with the next Rugby Championship edition of their end-of-week offering, Games of the Week – where this week Harry is in the carpark of Heathrow Airport in London en route to Johannesburg, to see South Africa v New Zealand at Ellis Park, while Brett is setting his alarm for that blockbuster match, plus Argentina v Australia from La Plata. Two very big games, but for four very different reasons. Which opposition players would you drop into your side right now? The boys conduct their own Test Rugby mock draft, 8-9 style, and ponder how to make South Africa and Australia better. Or New Zealand and Argentina worse, probably.

Brought to you by Chasing the Sun 2 coming soon to RugbyPass TV – head to rugbypass.tv and sign up for FREE, to watch wherever you are in the rugby world! Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones are joined on The 8-9 Combo by highly regarded Australian-based rugby writer and author Geoff Parkes, to consider the mouthwatering third round of The Rugby Championship this weekend coming. A belting weekend of Test rugby awaits, headlined by South Africa hosting New Zealand in Johannesburg, followed by Argentina hosting Australia in La Plata. With teams yet to be named, Geoff and the guys ponder what level the Rugby World Cup Final rematch will go to at Ellis Park, whether the Springboks are in the middle of a lock crisis, and why Argentina should be a game that Joe Schmidt’s rebuilding Wallabies can back themselves to win, and even with Los Pumas still riding high after winning in Wellington in the opening round.

Brought to you by Chasing the Sun 2 coming soon to RugbyPass TV – head to rugbypass.tv and sign up for FREE, to watch wherever you are in the rugby world! Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones are joined on The 8-9 Combo by renowned Australian rugby writer and author, noted tourist and regular friend of the pod, the great Jim Tucker, to look back on the second round of The Rugby Championship and the lessons learned for the Wallabies, as they gear up for a now very important tour of Argentina. The tour comes at a crucial point for the Wallabies and new coach Joe Schmidt; after three wins in July followed by heavy losses to South Africa, Schmidt takes his Australian squad to South America next weekend where wins are necessary but certainly not guaranteed after Los Pumas themselves had an up-and-down tour of New Zealand. Is it more pain, or finally some gain for the Wallabies? Also, Harry is introduced to that fine Australian publication, The Betoota Advocate!

Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones are joined on The 8-9 Combo by Australian and World Rugby Television Match Official Brett Cronan, to help peel back the layers on how the TMO works in professional rugby, and thus help us all learn a thing or two about part of the game we experience every week, but perhaps still don’t fully appreciate. In a revealing chat, Brett walks the guys through the ins and outs of the TMO process, the differences between how TMOs operate in Super Rugby Pacific and International Rugby and what the levels can learn from each other, the benefits of referee-TMO partnerships and why he works so well with Australian colleagues Nic Berry and Angus Gardner, and even the codewords they use between other and what a TMO really means when they use certain phrases. You’ll absolutely learn something you didn’t know before in this chat that lifts the lid on on-field communications.

Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones are joined on The 8-9 Combo by Director and Producer of brilliant Springboks documentary series, Chasing the Sun, Gareth Whittaker, the man behind the twin series which documented the ‘Boks rise in world rugby and culminating in the 2019 and 2023 Rugby World Cup triumphs. In this episode less about rugby and more about the art of storytelling, Gareth runs the guys through just how much footage was shot and not used, how many fully developed stories didn’t make the final cut, the contingency storylines in place if the Boks lost the Final or didn’t make it that far, and how his storytelling was shaped by the great sports documentaries of the time and the people who made them. If you watched Chasing the Sun and wondered how it all came together, so many of your questions will be answered.

Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones welcome back onto The 8-9 Combo Senior Rugby Writer for The Telegraph, Charlie Morgan to cast an eye back on the second week of July Internationals in the southern hemisphere, and consider the broader implications of this important week where so-called Tier 2 nations are hosted around the rugby world. With all the two-Test series now done all over the southern hemisphere, the microscope turns to lessons learned by England in New Zealand, by New Zealand from England, who learned more out of South Africa and Ireland and whether they would possibly agree anyway, the size of Warren Gatland’s Welsh rebuild, and whether the Wallabies might be doing un-Joe Schmidt things that actually please Joe Schmidt.
