The Springboks have done it again — back-to-back Rugby Championship titles and another reminder that their game plan is as brutal as it is effective. Argentina gave it everything, but South Africa were just too sharp, too dominant at scrum time.

Meanwhile, in a very wet Perth, the All Blacks splished, splashed, and scrapped their way past the Wallabies. It wasn’t pretty, but it was enough — a muddy finish to a messy season that still somehow ends on a high?

This week, the Springboks turned the Pumas into mince, racking up 67 points and leaving rugby fans wondering if Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu is secretly a Dan Carter clone grown in a Pretoria lab. Over at Eden Park, the All Blacks and Wallabies treated us to a performance so scrappy it could’ve been filmed on VHS — but hey, the fortress still stands. And across the world, the Red Roses claimed World Cup glory, fending off a fearless Canadian side.

This week: Bledisloe at the Fortress (Eden Park, not your uncle’s shed), the Rugby Championship tighter than your old boots, and the Black Ferns’ heartbreak as Canada crash the party. Can the Canucks actually steal the chocolates from England? We’ve got thoughts… and distractions.

We know why you’re here, and we don’t blame you. This week, we tumble headfirst into the pit of despair that is All Blacks fandom after the Springboks dished out a pumpings in New Zealand’s graveyard, Sky Stadium in Wellington.

There’s plenty of wallowing, but we also manage to lift our heads long enough to cover the excellent clash between Argentina and the Wallabies, and check in on all the action from the Women’s World Cup.

An immediate game reaction pod this week. The most hyped game of the year delivered, the All Blacks held strong to keep their 30-year fortress intact and gave Ardie Savea the perfect 100th test celebration, while the Boks were left muttering about what could’ve been. Over in Townsville, the Wallabies played the role of international rugby’s rom-com kings once again, pulling off another ridiculous comeback against the Pumas. And we talk BS and Rugby whilst smiling and slightly drunk.

The hype is off the charts! The World Champion Springboks are storming into Eden Park, the All Blacks’ fortress, where no one has won since 1994 (back before we had pubes). Will the Boks finally break the curse, or will the All Blacks once again prove Eden Park is basically Hogwarts with goalposts?

We’ll also look ahead to the Wallabies vs Pumas showdown, dive into the Women’s Rugby World Cup, check in on the Pacific Nations Cup, and give the NPC the airtime it deserves. The hype is real.

Sorry Tony has audio issues for about 10 minutes near the start,

The All Blacks were a flaming dumpster fire this week, and as loyal fans we are disgusted. Razor’s backline looked like they’d just met in the carpark before kickoff, and Argentina gleefully ran riot in front of delirious Buenos Aires fans.

Over in South Africa, the Wallabies gave the Boks a proper scare of potentially going back to back… until James O’Connor’s boots decided they were made of Play-Doh.

Grab a beer and enjoy.

Wallabies rise from the dead at Ellis Park in the greatest Aussie comeback since Crocodile Dundee 2. The Boks are stunned, the crowd’s crying into their Castle Lagers, and rugby Twitter explodes. Meanwhile, the All Blacks quietly handle Argentina with all the excitement of filing a tax return.
