The Good, The Bad & The Rugby: Australia & New Zealand

Secure your entire digital life with Surfshark — get 4 extra months free: https://surfshark.com/gbr (code: GBR) | 30-day money-back guarantee Four months in a hospital bed. Four screws in his spine. Eighteen kilos gone. And the first thing the doctors told him was that he might never walk again. All Blacks and Crusaders prop Tamaiti Williams sits down with Andy and Kieran Read for his most open interview yet on the illness that stopped his season dead. Not an injury — an illness. An MRSA superbug that settled in his back and, as he puts it, burned him out from the inside like a tree on fire. He takes us through the night he was rolling around in 10-out-of-10 pain arguing with his wife not to go to hospital, the spinal fusion, coming off morphine, the panic attacks, and where his comeback actually sits right now (no date — but he’s been cleared to run, with day one of pre-season in November). Then Tamaiti puts his front-row hat back on to break down the Springbok scrum: what makes Ox Nché so hard to hold, why mindset is half the battle, and why he’d meet fire with fire rather than run from it. Justin Marshall joins live from South Africa after the third Test at Soccer City — a Test he reckons was the real decider. Marshy on where the game slipped away, what Dave Rennie said to him at full-time, and a firm answer to the question everyone’s asking: are the All Blacks in danger of becoming rugby’s version of Bazball? Plus what has to happen in Baltimore. Brought to you by Gallagher Insurance — your trusted insurance broker, backing the show and backing the game. ───────────────────────────── 📑CHAPTERS 00:00 — Intro 01:08 — "What actually happened?" — Tamaiti on the injury that wasn't an injury 01:57 — 10 out of 10 pain, and the superbug they couldn't identify 02:49 — Four screws, a fused spine & "a tree burning from the inside" 03:45 — "One of the first things they told me is I might be in a wheelchair" 04:36 — Fading away: 140kg down to 122kg in hospital 05:11 — Morphine, coming off the meds & the panic attacks 07:07 — The road back: no date, just six-week blocks 08:08 — Cleared to run — day one pre-season, November 09:47 — Can it come back? 10:14 — Front-row masterclass: what makes Ox Nché so hard to stop 13:13 — A word from Surfshark 14:58 — How do the All Blacks get parity with that Springbok scrum? 17:23 — Pancaking, hinging & painting good pictures for the ref 19:07 — Where the third Test was lost: turnovers & Ruben Love's yellow 20:32 — Leroy Carter targeted: Kriel and de Allende going at his left shoulder 22:20 — Fearless Player of the Week, brought to you by Gallagher 23:45 — 12-all at half time — then the game slowed right down 25:27 — Giving the Springboks credit: why champions dictate 26:10 — Cutting out the errors that kill momentum 28:27 — Line-out speed & the breakdown: where the game is won or lost 29:06 — Justin Marshall live from South Africa: inside Soccer City 31:28 — Regroup: what the All Blacks do with the series on the line 35:08 — Personnel or game plan?

The All Blacks lost the second test in Cape Town but were they actually that bad? Andy Rowe is joined by former All Blacks captain and two-time Rugby World Cup winner Kieran Read to break down a game that turned on two minutes at the start and an aerial battle the All Blacks still can't win. Read explains the untidy exit that had New Zealand seven points down inside two minutes, why the Springboks changed their defensive picture (14 in the line, nobody hunting the ruck) and what that means for the way the All Blacks attack. Plus the accuracy numbers: South Africa took 4.8 points from every 22 entry, New Zealand just 2.8 from nine. There's the 2009 parallel (Matfield, box kicks and the series that changed how New Zealand played the game) and why the All Blacks are still catching high balls the old-school way. Pieter-Steph du Toit's 100th test. Then there's Rassie. The suit and tie, the team sheet handed over half an hour before kickoff, the F-bombs in the press conference and the complaint that the All Blacks are planting seeds in the media (from the man who put out an hour-long video on the referees during the Lions series). Read's take: "coaches have been doing this for a long time, but Rassie is the absolute king of it." Plus the scrum row it all came from: "we're not walking around, we're scrumming." And what changes for the third test, including Sam Darry, a six-two bench and where Rieko Ioane fits. Over the Tasman, the Wallabies win 27-21 in Argentina, Les Kiss loosens the structure, and Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii starts on the bench — would you put him on the All Blacks wing to catch our high balls?

The All Blacks have gone to Ellis Park and won five tries to one and Marshy was standing in the middle of it. This week Andy is joined by Justin Marshall live from Johannesburg, still dusty, still 30 years on from '96, and Kieran Read in studio after a 3am alarm and a duvet on the couch with his boy. They break down how the All Blacks were under the pump for 40 minutes and still walked off with a scoreline that flattered them, the three unnoticed effort plays that swung the whole test, and why nobody in that squad celebrated like the job was done. Then Marshy finally does some homework and brings in former Springbok World Cup winning captain John Smit, who watched from the stands next to Francois Louw. He's honest about what he saw, the scrum that should have won it, the unforced errors he hasn't seen from this Springbok side in years, and what Rassie might do in Cape Town. He also explains what this tour has done to South Africa: green shirts every Friday, nothing getting done, and for the first time in the country's broadcasting history, more people watching rugby than football. Plus: the points-per-22-entry stat the coaches are obsessed with, why Fabian Holland has become crucial, whether George Bower has forced a start, and a proper appreciation for Matt Carley telling the TMO no. The Fearless Player of the Week is brought to you by Gallagher, your trusted insurance broker — backing the show and backing the game. Three tests to go.

Justin Marshall joins us live from Pretoria, three tour games deep, one week out from Ellis Park and the mood in South Africa is exactly as cocky as you'd fear. Andy, Kieran Read and Marshy get into the arrogance ("if the All Blacks draw the series, that's a result for THEM"), why South African rugby is booming from schoolboy level up, and the recruitment problem that's got them worried about 13-year-olds on retainers. Then the serious business: how the All Blacks are actually tracking after three from three, the injury watch on Will Jordan, Cam Roigard and Damian McKenzie, the loose forward puzzle, whether lineout height should be driving selection, why Argentina handed us the blueprint for beating the Boks and why a Springbok side that's short of minutes might be more vulnerable at altitude than anyone's saying.

30 years ago the All Blacks won their first test series on South African soil. Andy Rowe sits down with two men who were there: Frank Bunce and Justin Marshall. They relive the 1992 return tour after apartheid, the intimidation of Ellis Park, Jonah Lomu's 1995 World Cup, and the week in Pretoria where Sean Fitzpatrick told the team: "There's no way we're going to Ellis Park with the series on the line." Plus: the Michael Brial fight, the famous "too old, too slow, two tries" headline, Bunce's legendary partnership with Walter Little, why the All Blacks haven't settled a midfield since Ma'a Nonu and Conrad Smith, and whether this All Blacks side can win the series again.

The All Blacks squad to tour South Africa is out and the boys have questions. Seven wingers but no out-and-out fullback, only three halfbacks, five injury-prone locks, and Damian McKenzie named at first five but destined for the back field. Justin Marshall and Kieran Read drop into what it's actually like touring the Republic: altitude, boot parties, beer cans at the bus, and why four Tests in a row is like playing four finals. Plus: Ethan Blackadder back from the wilderness, how to build the loose trio around Ardie Savea, the unlucky ones (Du'Plessis Kirifi, Noah Hotham), what happens if Richie Mo'unga gets the call, and how you even prep a squad for games every three days. ───────────────────────────── 📑CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 00:31 First reactions to the squad 02:31 Seven wingers — so who plays fullback? 04:12 Only three halfbacks: Ratima on the bench all tour? 05:02 George Bell and the fourth hooker call 06:31 The lock stocks: injury concerns 08:04 Bench impact — matching the Bomb Squad 10:20 6-2 split or backline flexibility? 15:18 Ethan Blackadder back from the wilderness 17:44 We need our best ball carriers carrying 20:13 Harvey Norman Next Gen Moment: Timoci Tavatavanawai 22:07 The unlucky ones: Kirifi & Hotham 25:44 What the selectors want from their loose forwards 30:54 Building the game plan around Ardie Savea 34:05 The Josh Jacomb surprise 36:48 What if Richie Mo'unga gets the call? 37:58 Playing in South Africa: altitude & atmosphere 41:46 Touring the Republic: boot parties & hospitality 44:52 Games every three days — how do you prep? 46:48 Where should the Test team play?

The All Blacks put Ireland to the sword at Eden Park and Justin Marshall and Jeremy Paul aren't holding back, calling out the Irish for blaming the ref instead of themselves. Marshy and JP break down the Tupou Vaa'i blindside masterstroke, the bench that's finally delivering "championship minutes", the Luke Jacobson TMO call that got common sense right, and whether Quinn Tupaea at 13 is the answer heading into South Africa. Then James O'Connor joins the show, fresh off the Mad Monday that saw him sleep through last week's episode, to reveal he's told Les Kiss he's available for the Wallabies, why the spine is costing Australia games, and where Joseph Aukuso Sua'ali'i really should be playing.

The Super Rugby Final is here. Kieran Read, Justin Marshall and Jeremy Paul break down everything you need to know before Saturday’s Chiefs vs Hurricanes decider in Wellington. Kieran Read and Justin Marshall open with a no-holds-barred post-mortem on the Crusaders’ semifinal implosion — the complacency question, the Chiefs’ mental edge, and what Read would have said at halftime down 28–00.

And is JP right that the Hurricanes are simply impossible to beat?

What separates the teams that win finals from the ones that show up and go through the motions? That's the question at the heart of this week's episode — and All Blacks legend Kieran Reid has some very honest answers. Reado joins the boys in studio fresh off the Hurricanes' quarterfinal demolition of the Brumbies. He breaks down what genuine finals belief looks like from the inside — including the moment Richie McCaw gathered a team that was 19-7 down to Ireland and simply said: "Just breathe. We got this." Then he gives his take on which teams in this year's Super Rugby semifinals have that same DNA. James O'Connor calls in from the UK with massive personal news, an update on his hamstring, and a wide-open future back in Australia. And Jeremy Paul joins from across the Tasman with passionate opinions on where Rabs should land and absolutely no time for anyone who questions whether he's still got it. Plus: Tony Brown confirmed as All Blacks assistant coach, the unsolved number 8 puzzle, Ruben Love's case to be the next ABs 10, and a big announcement for GBRANZ fans in Christchurch. 🎟️ **SUNDAY SESSION — July 5th, Christchurch | Tickets link below** https://www.oldboys.co.nz/viewform/515859 --- CHAPTERS 00:00 — Intro 01:46 — Hurricanes vs Brumbies: what went wrong for the 11 Wallabies 05:19 — The Crusaders formula: what it takes to win ugly 12:27 — "Just breathe.
