Description

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 Canterbury and Otago continue the dominance they’ve shown all season or will one of the underdogs claim the upset. Tune in next week as we discuss the quarter final clashes.
