30 Plays5 years ago
It is our favorite rugby dumbies from America, or is it rugby for American dumbies? In either case we are back, a slightly less serious tone for this one, but still some good fat to chew on. We talk about some movement, coach and player related, in the Northern Hemisphere. We hit on the potential 8 Nations tournament, yeah we couldn't help but still have a go at the Azzurri. Who would have the audactiy...or lack of brains, to try and pick an All Blacks team right now? Umm hello, have you listened to this pod before? We only have a crack at the forwards, but still. Finally, we wrap all the action from both Super Rugby comps, including Ben's latest edition of, what did the Chiefs do wrong this time. Have a seat, crack a beverage with us and tune in!

Podcast Kickoff and Schedule Adjustment
00:00:08
Speaker
Hey everybody, welcome back. It is the Fancy Rugby Yanks. My name is Jared Dyke. I'm Ben Glaser. Hey, we're finally getting on a Monday podcast. Hey, look at us. Yeah. How we're cobbling it together, but still. Getting back to the swing of it. It's hard when, you know, there's no rugby on Tuesday till like, it's like, ah, yeah, we can push it off for a day. Okay. Yeah, that's true. You don't have to hold, hold to the schedule. Yeah. I feel that man. Yep.
Beer Choices of the Hosts
00:00:31
Speaker
All right. Um, I bought these for this. So let's do this beer time.
00:00:39
Speaker
This will be interesting because I've never had this one before. So it's a new, it's a night shift I haven't had before. Okay. I'm still with the, uh, the Jacks Abbey. Rolling Jacks Abbey. That's a good one. Their food is really good. Not the brew pub that they have. Uh, actually this over this way. That'll be one thing I miss. I won't be able to go there that easy once I move. Damn.
00:01:04
Speaker
Oops, oh well. There's good places where you're going to, so. Oh yeah, there's definitely good places. I know that. I'm well aware.
Fantasy Rugby Features and Rugby Mag
00:01:13
Speaker
Obviously, we want to thank our friends at the Rugby Mag. Ed and crew are awesome to us and their game is going to be awesome. Close to it. Can confirm. The Rugby magazine fantasy will include the midweek fixtures as well.
00:01:29
Speaker
Nice. That's, that's awesome. Um, I think, I think, I think my messaging with, with TRM, uh, kind of made them poop themselves a little bit. Like we screw up the schedule. I was like, no, no, no. I'm just confirming it cause others aren't. So I'm just, I'm just confirming. Okay. Chill guys. I mean, that's, it'll be kind of like what they did with the, their World Cup, I would assume. Yeah. Um, although it's easy to, it's easy. It's very, it's way easier to divvy up in this way. You know, which round is which. Right.
00:01:58
Speaker
So, and everybody's playing everybody. There's nobody off for X amount of time. Everybody's, yeah. You know, yes, everybody is, some are off, right? Some are off for five days, whatever it is. But, you know, I probably got that wrong even, but yeah, point being, it'll be a lot easier than the World Cup. So yeah, this is probably a no-brainer for their crew. So, good on them. And then also, obviously, George. George is obviously our guy, the fancy rugby geek. He is just,
00:02:28
Speaker
He's our dude. Check him out. Buy him a coffee slash beer, whatever you want to consider it. When you go ahead and you follow an FRG link and you find something out you didn't know. That's true. That is true. I like that. Ooh, that is good. I might get that again. Wow. That's very good. Um,
00:02:48
Speaker
Look at me, I pour my beer and I didn't even drink any of it. Check out George. He's our guy.
Support for Black Lives Matter
00:02:55
Speaker
His pod with us has definitely been the more popular since the restart, which doesn't shock me at all as far as number of downloads. But we appreciate him coming on and obviously would have him anytime, any place. We do support the Black Lives Matter movement on this podcast and always will.
00:03:17
Speaker
Unfortunately, Ben and I have acknowledged that the chances of this coming good full circle probably won't happen when we're young, at the very least, which sucks. But we still support it and we will...
00:03:34
Speaker
Yeah, we want to learn. We're here to do better because it's been too damn long. Yeah. I'm seeing other athletes now who are coming out and saying that they don't want to kneel and it has nothing to do with their support of Black Lives Matter or not and all that. And that's cool. Like that's fine. You know, choose not to. If you're in that position, that's great.
00:03:58
Speaker
but you know, obviously we don't hold it against anyone who does and we support them fully. Right. And you know, it'd be a double standard where we're saying, especially here in the, in the, in the U S where,
00:04:09
Speaker
We stupidly play the anthem before every one of our games. I still haven't figured this one out yet. There's no reason for that. I haven't figured this one out, guys, but don't have the answer. Anyway, Colin Kaepernick took a knee during the anthem, and we said it's not about the flag. Well, we have to say the same thing on the other side. It's not about Black Lives Matter that I don't support it. Because the guy was still wearing the damn shirt, the one NBA guy. I'm thinking off the top of my head. He's still wearing the damn shirt, so he clearly supports it. But yeah, he's just choosing not to, but he's
00:04:38
Speaker
I assume he's talked with his teammates and he's had a conversation saying, listen, I support you guys 100%, but I am going to stand. I'm not disrespecting you. And it sounds like they're all for it. So.
00:04:50
Speaker
Yeah. And that's where like some of the teams, what was it like last year, the Cowboys before a game, they yelled and then they stood for the anthem and all that. And it was like, oh, it's kind of half-assing it, but okay. Well, that's what happens when Jerry Jones is your boss. Yeah, true. But it's also like they forced everybody to do it. It's like one of these, you can't have it both ways. You can't say everyone has to do it because then it doesn't mean anything.
00:05:18
Speaker
Um, yeah, it needs to be an inner, an inner team decision. It can't be like a higher up decision, right? Because that was Jerry's, you know, I'm saying, Hey, you all are going to do this and I'm going to be right there with you. So yeah, I don't support them making, you know, you don't have to, if you don't want to. Um, but the, you know, making everybody do it is not a way around it. So I'm kind of, no, I agree for how some things are going like that. You saw, and when, as baseball season, as meager as it is, um,
00:05:48
Speaker
there were teams where not everybody knelt. And yeah, you're kind of an asshole if you don't, some of them.
00:05:54
Speaker
Um, cause you know, depending on the player, sometimes, you know, it's like, all right, sometimes you know, the guys, you know, the guys that are not kneeling for a reason, you know, um, you know, the guys who, who have, you know, who, who are honest about it, especially the ones who are black. It's definitely, Hey, you're, that's your, it's, it's whatever you feel you need to do to support the cause. Yeah. Yeah. You don't need to, I mean, listen, if you, if you kneel, but you do nothing else, are you supporting the cause?
00:06:22
Speaker
Right, you know, so you know if you don't if you if you stand but you do a lot more else Yeah, probably you're actually probably better off. So that's fine. So yeah, we will always support it However, you choose to express it, but we support it and always well We've been a player movement and
Kelly Brown's Move to Glasgow
00:06:39
Speaker
coaching movement. Kelly Brown is on his way to Glasgow leaving Sarah since after 10 years. I mean, you know, I Kelly Brown was originally part of what they called the killer bees in Scotland and he man that dude
00:06:51
Speaker
That dude was a freaking rock for so many years. And, you know, obviously as the Saracens came good.
00:06:56
Speaker
He was a big cog in it. And he's been a big part of the coaching staff since he's walked away from playing days. So he owes Saracen's nothing. I wish him all the best. He's going to go back to his home nation of Scotland to make that happen. So that's fine. And Glasgow could really use him. So it's good. Good for him, good for them. He should be coaching at a high level if that's what he needs to do. As much as we talk about players moving,
00:07:26
Speaker
uh, coaches move on at this point when you know, you get relegated. So, right. Yeah. I don't blame them. I don't blame anybody that wants out. I'm, I'm impressed. We held onto Sanderson. Honestly, I like, if we,
00:07:39
Speaker
Yeah, there'll be a team that comes in and snipes Anderson, unfortunately, you know, and we'll have that law. Cause when, when Guzy got sniped, that was the, we had, that was kind of the first dip in, in, in Saracen's farm. And then obviously they built it back up. And, um, so yeah, when, when Sanderson's the next one to go, which he will be at some point, um,
00:07:59
Speaker
Yeah, let's not talk about that. I mean, listen, if he's not going this year, then he won't go yet. So it's okay. It's okay. So Kelly Brown moving on. Jamie Roberts coming back north. Play for Dragons. Going home. Going home. Good. Good. I like that for every reason. Yeah. You know, I recognize obviously why he went down to South Africa. To not play in the winter and be in the sun.
00:08:29
Speaker
Yeah. Get engaged. Great. Um, so yeah, it worked out really well for him. Yeah, it's no longer, it's no longer winter here, although the next one's not too far away. But at the same time, it's also, uh, how viable is it down there now?
00:08:51
Speaker
in South Africa at the moment. I know. I just don't know. You know, we don't South African rugby. Isn't yeah. Yeah. I'm not sure where they are with sport. I haven't been paying close attention to how they're doing because they just returned to training a couple of weeks ago. Okay. But it was there, but also then what's the plan for them for that? Oh, as far as playing goes, I have no idea. Yeah. So yeah, it makes perfect sense for him to get out now. As you said, it's, uh,
00:09:17
Speaker
I mean, we do know the stormers are going to come north. The spring is coming spring, which would be kind of cool. Maybe that's something we jot down in our memory book there, Ben. That would be fun. Anyway, so yeah, Jamie Roberts coming back north.
Introduction of the Eight Nations Tournament
00:09:35
Speaker
Big bigger news last week was to replace the fall internationals this year. They're doing an eight nations tournament for for two brackets of four with the six nations that you would traditionally expect and then
00:09:50
Speaker
the inclusion of Japan and Fiji, which I think is great. Really, I can't think of two better countries to include into something like this, where they need more international playing space and they need good competition. They need to be on a good stage.
00:10:10
Speaker
Right. And they're going to do well. They're going to do very well in this competition. So that's something that it's great to see that that will be that'll happen because of shit. I mean, you know, we saw how good Japan was. Excellent. You know, in the World Cup and Fiji had their moments. They had their moment both ways. Well, right. And they, you know, they pressed Australia really hard and then they kind of had that letdown against Uruguay, obviously.
00:10:39
Speaker
They're going to be the new France in the competition. Yeah, there you go.
00:10:45
Speaker
Yeah, but it's still gonna be fun seeing, you know, Japan versus versus Scotland as they're still fairly ground and poundy. Mm-hmm. Have an iron maybe an Ireland-Japan rematch. Yeah. I don't know what the cools are off the top of my head. I don't know either. I'm just thinking of potential matchups. Right. But so we're gonna get two new teams. Italy's still gonna get the wooden spoon.
00:11:12
Speaker
Well, I'll throw that fact in there because everybody else is thinking it. We're all thinking it. We all know it. Yeah. No, he's definitely, it's unfortunately that's, that's just how it's going to go. It's going to be, uh, Italy getting the wooden spoon, even though there's two new teams that they potentially could beat up on, but let's be real, both these teams are probably more likely to beat up on them. So we'll see. Maybe, maybe they show something finally. And in which case they're like, okay,
00:11:40
Speaker
They're on the cusp of winning a match.
00:11:43
Speaker
Yeah, they've had, they've been close, they've been close a couple of times. So, um, we'll see. Yeah. Only, only, uh, only time will tell. Fiji has a bad day. Italy has a great day. There there's, there's your W.
Premiership Rugby Restart Preview
00:11:56
Speaker
Yeah, that's true. That is true. I'll give you that. Cause you know, if, if you're, if Fiji can find a way to lose to Uruguay, they could find a way to lose to Italy. Yup. So we'll see. Um, but I just, you know, on their best days, I would back the Fijians over the Italians. So.
00:12:14
Speaker
Moving on, partnership restarts around the corner next week, so we'll cover that much more in full. Obviously, Ben and I are both looking forward to it. It's gonna be a long, arduous restart cuz you're gonna have this, we're gonna have Europe, we're gonna have eight nations. And then I think eventually, I think the plans to restart in November, December for the new season.
00:12:40
Speaker
Which is weird how this is gonna align with top 14. Top 14 bagged their last season and are restarting.
00:12:50
Speaker
I believe we're restarting a new season here. Um, weird. Um, I could be wrong. Maybe I got that wrong and I misread things, but, um, but yeah, so we'll see how that lines up anyway, but it'll be good to be, to have a rugby that's not on at 2 AM here. That would be nice not having to, you know, cause you have to wake up in the morning and as you wake up, remember, don't go to Twitter. Don't go to Twitter. Oh, I found that I've done that once or twice already.
00:13:18
Speaker
Yeah, it's actually not because the the australia games are happening around five in the morning. So right I wake up at like Six and I look at it i'm getting Live updates. Yeah, i'm getting like
00:13:31
Speaker
You're in the middle of the middle. Yeah. The feet. It's right in the middle of your feet because it's still going. So yeah. Oh shit. Whoops. Right. And you know, you've interacted with enough super rugby teams that, you know, you get their official feed and it's like, Oh, you know, we just hit a penalty kick and now it's, but here's the score and here's the time. And it's like, damn it. I didn't want to know that. I didn't want to know any of these things.
00:13:52
Speaker
Yeah, I think George posted a pretty good, I think he was, I think it was George, maybe it was Carrick. They posted a pretty good meme. You get to whatever time it was in the day and you haven't checked Twitter and nobody spoiled the game for you. Yes, exactly that, exactly that. So yeah, it'll be good to have that back.
00:14:11
Speaker
It'd be good to see some of these new toys being taken out for a ride, as it were. Gus Creevy could be, it looks like he's on his way to London Irish, so that'll be interesting. Rob Simmons could eventually join them as well from Muertos, so we'll see how that goes. It's gonna be a fun end of the year, either way, I think.
00:14:31
Speaker
Be interesting rugby. Yeah. All bets are off. Especially in this. Yeah. It's like, I hope they open it up a little bit, but you know, you know how they do. Yeah, we'll see. Some will, some will. Didn't happen. Yeah, it didn't quite happen. Well, I think the bears will. The bears definitely will. Yeah, bears definitely will. I don't think there's a question about that. Yeah. And Gloucester has too much speed to at least not try to open it up. Right. A little bit. They have declared their intentions. Now let's see them try to make it happen. Yeah, act on. Uh-huh.
00:14:59
Speaker
Okay, let's go to Super Rugby AU.
Super Rugby AU Highlights
00:15:03
Speaker
First game of the weekend, the Force and the Rebels. Force continue to equip themselves well in this competition. Last week, the scoreboard probably flattered the Brumbies a little bit. And this week, it was there for the taking. Just couldn't get it over the line. Which, you know, we kind of had that feeling with, you know, probably about half time, 10 to 10 at half.
00:15:29
Speaker
and you know the force need a lead they need to because they're they're not going to hold out now this this match was different they held um i'll give them credit they're getting their fitness up they're getting used to the game that in and the the game they need to play but they still need to to have some you know in baseball to call them insurance runs when you're up like five to three and you score like two runs okay that's great you know it doesn't salt it away you might have had the game already but this is just a little bit of insurance in case you
00:15:59
Speaker
Yeah. The force are still going to fuck up and uh, yeah. So it was really just patience on, on the part of the rebels. That's all that was needed. Yeah, it was. Um,
00:16:12
Speaker
Nice Iran. I mean, it was funny. They were talking about how many guys played for the force before they got, you know, kicked out of Super Rugby. And there were quite a few names on this rebel scene that used to be on the Western province. So it's probably a good match to have back in the fold for the Australians. How?
00:16:39
Speaker
And this wasn't necessarily the prettiest match overall. Not really. How good was Matt Tamua, though? He was excellent. Especially in defense. But his kicking game, he seemed to be the one player on the field that was on. I mean, on both teams. I'm sorry. That's not disrespect. That is a high compliment to Matt Tamua, who I thought played definitely one of his best games in recent memory. He controlled the ball so well in attack and really rallied him in defense.
00:17:09
Speaker
like he made passes where they needed to go. Um, and, and same thing with kicks. It was just, he, he tried a couple, uh, 50 22s didn't, I don't think there was one that actually landed in this match. Um, yeah, I don't recall one, but there might be one, but they're still trying for him. And I think he had a couple of really good thoughts on him that didn't quite go right. But just, yeah, excellent all around game for him. Yeah. I mean, and I, I hate to do this, but on the other side of the ball, this is opposite number.
00:17:40
Speaker
awful game. He had what? Three or four forward passes that went a mile forward and grand, a couple of them came on advantage, but like you got to hit one of those. You got to hit one of those and you might actually have won this game, you know? Yeah. So that's just, oh, that's really unfortunate. I will. I also, I do have to give credit to, um, one force player, the guy, uh, Lee Warner, he was carrying the ball so much for a big guy. Uh, got his due, got himself over. Um, but yeah, just shit.
00:18:10
Speaker
Yeah, he was everywhere. He was, that's one of those guys who, you know, he belongs in Super Rugby. And it's good to see him working so well there. Right. I thought for the Rebels, I thought Gia Ulysses is still, I think he's still putting his hand up. Yeah. That try, the throw was good. I thought both, actually, I thought both hookers in this match had good games. Yeah. There was only one or two not straights.
00:18:39
Speaker
Um, the overthrows I think were intentional. So they're, they're getting, they're getting better at the lineouts. Um, right. Both had some, had some, uh, some scoots off of some fun line out, please. Yes. Looking, looking, looking good in the variations over there. Yeah. Uh, he was definitely, um, I, we talked about it last week, I think, um, hard to not put Ulysses in the 23 at least. Yeah. Yep.
00:19:06
Speaker
Um, so it's for naserani to have the uh, you know the winner the winner the yellow card and yeah He had a hat trick in there somewhere. I don't know what kind of hat trick because there's a gordy gordy house hat trick. Yeah, but it's got to be a gordy hat trick Something like that. Uh, those of you that don't know in professionalized hockey a uh, gordy house hat trick is a goal an assist in a fight
00:19:30
Speaker
so For those that don't watch it from over here So it's the yellow card is in place of the fight. I suppose Just need to try to sit somewhere in there. Yeah So in this one more for There's more rebels play. I want to talk about and he's he is super Jekyll and Hyde in that pharma silly like he is very good in his
00:20:00
Speaker
Yeah, I just, I like him, but he's also got the frigging head taste where he makes a stupid error, like jumping over the top of a ruck and going ass over a tea kettle like that. Like what the fuck is that? He has great moments in so many games, but you can tell he's still kind of raw and young because he makes those dumb errors. So he has a lot of promise in that, and you know, early in the season, I wanted to poo poo on him and he had, he does have tons of promise and I've seen some good stuff out of him. I just want, if he wants to be,
00:20:30
Speaker
um as good as he possibly can be and you know eventually play international rugby he needs to kick those out of the game for sure but you know so it's still loads of good stuff um frank lamani acquitted himself while in this game without um lawrence lawrence went off with an injury um so i uh i also i also want to give him a little tip of the cap as well
00:20:51
Speaker
It's not fair to talk about this game without also the work of Cameron or, um, yes, saves a try early. Excellent. By, by dragon standard to touch on just a great hustle back for the tackle. Um, and made a couple of other, uh,
00:21:07
Speaker
Yeah, he had a hand in that ULSY try. So he made a good quality impact on attack and defense. And those were just two of the examples. He had many more during the game. It really made some quality impact. Whenever you heard his name, something good was happening. Something good was happening. So yeah, we do have finally a first ever super time winner. Rebels get over the line.
00:21:34
Speaker
25 20 is the winner over the over the force Again force are just they're right there. You know, you can hear thrush was very disappointed at the end So there they may get one. I don't know when but they may still get one. So we'll find out it's only around five so we got a little bit of time to go and shoot for IBA you and
00:21:54
Speaker
Let's go to the other match though. This was supposed to be the match of the weekend. It turned out to be a pretty damn good match. Just the same. Um, Brumby's 22 reds 20. Oh, just, just at the end. Uh, right. Or kick for a young, young 10. Yes, absolutely. I was thinking, I was thinking, is this kid to have the nuts to hit this thing? Like dead ball, a dead clock. Like you miss this, you lose. Like right. Good on him match. Like this is, this is, you know,
00:22:22
Speaker
good, you know, good test of what this kid's going to be. Um, if, and, and tell you, the Reds put up a good fight too. So for, so to, you know, that was a well-deserved win for, for the Brumbies. Oh yeah, absolutely. Both teams gave it all they had and, you know, it wasn't, wasn't terribly entertaining at times. Um, but, but every so often it broke, uh, you know, well you have Harry Wilson in a match. Well, yeah, he found ways to make it entertaining. That's for sure.
00:22:48
Speaker
Yeah, you look really good. And even then I'm like, you know, later in the match, I'm like, you know, I haven't heard anything from Frasier McCrate. And all of a sudden, boom, he always just that's right. He's he's reserved this match. And here he comes. Yeah, tears it up. Red's got themselves a pretty sweet back line there. Back row. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. The back row there. And, you know, with the subs is very good. That definitely, you know, I put them up against pretty much everybody. Yeah.
00:23:13
Speaker
Good to see Jordan Prataya come back for the rest as well, man. He is... Oh, Rob. He is such a... Yeah, fucking... I couldn't believe that. I was like, that is what we're talking about. Oh, my God. I was so upset. That was a phenomenal try that wasn't for the reds at the end of that half. I was like, are we really going back and taking this away? No, God damn it.
00:23:38
Speaker
Oh, it was so great. It was, I was like, I, I was excited watching that try. I was so excited watching that try and won't walk. I was like, Oh really? We're coming back with the shit. So really, really unfortunate for Ty not to get that try on his return. Yeah.
00:23:57
Speaker
Well, he got it. It just got kind of rub. Yeah. Um, yeah, but that was unfortunate. He had, he, he acquitted himself well too. Quite. Yep. Yeah. And he came on for, I think it was the one that had to come off. Yeah. So that was, I mean, there's, there's, there's worse people you can replace somebody with in that case. So he's a, he's not too bad. Um, on the other side, you know, you had,
00:24:21
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, obviously fighting it just a guy knows where the trial line is It's probably the only reason that he's gonna stay as the wallabies number two because he is loud throwing so a little shoddy but The fact that he knows how to get himself over the whitewash quite often. It's probably so simple though I mean that's just a You know his packs doing the work he's just kind of riding caboose and dive quite often. Yeah, I I get it
00:24:51
Speaker
I think, yeah, I think Ulysses playing better overall. Oh, if I had a vote, I'd say, yeah, he needs to start, but it's really hard to understand. It doesn't matter. You get two on the board. Um, you know, I'm not, I'm not shitting on them. That's, you know, two tries. Good job. Somebody had to be there to do it. And it gets fucked up. It's not like it's, I'm saying it's fucking easy.
00:25:15
Speaker
Oh, it's been known to get fucked up very easily. It's it's it's a fine art so I'm not not shitting on that but there's a lot more to being a Good rugby player than just being able to pilot that that mall. Mm-hmm And so yeah, I'm kind of That does seem to be more of their pack than than Feinga himself but
00:25:39
Speaker
I mean, you saw it, you know, that's a good pack. So it'll be a part of it. And it's good scrum. Like he's not, he's not, he's not bad. Yeah. I mean, if you, if you wanted to score a try for the Brumby's this game, you might as well been playing hooker because Macarony got the other one too. So yeah, everybody, if you wanted to score in this match, it was pretty much, uh, I mean, and one, here's one thing that I have and I don't re I don't recall seeing it, but maybe, and that could be because my memory's fuzzy. Um,
00:26:06
Speaker
If you know you have a team, and I was saying this with the Crusaders as well, if you have a team that you know their intent is going to be 100%, they're gonna bring this down and play at them all, would you not just, and nothing's ever worked in terms of resisting, would you not just contest instead? You don't have to do it every time, but vary it at least once or twice to throw them off, and you might be able to stave off one of those drives.
00:26:36
Speaker
Not have to eat a penalty. So that's just my thought. Yeah, I didn't. I also didn't quite like the red tactics there towards the end. Um, where they were, they were really contesting at the breakdown and you knew sooner or later that was like, there were a couple of times where the referee looked at them and was like, you know, careful there, careful there.
00:26:55
Speaker
McRite got a little unlucky, but yeah, Nick Berry had been looking for it. So that was one and two. And, you know, he put himself in a position where, you know, a little bit of a misfortune, you know, cost him a penalty and obviously the game as well. Because he wasn't the first to infringe like that. So it was like, you see through the referee sees three in a row and he's like, you're just fucking with it to fuck with it. No, like, you know, you have no right to do that. Just, no, no, no. Okay. Now you're done. Yeah. Yeah. Um, I will say, um,
00:27:24
Speaker
Since we had definitely two of the best referees that we've seen since the recent since restart rugby has kicked off I will say really like as much as you want as much as Kiwis might want to shit on the Aussies I will say the two two of the best referees that I've seen since the restart our Nick Berrien and Gus Gardner like I I would take Paul Williams in New Zealand and that's it like I mean the starters done a doing a great job managing the game I love I love Gus Gardner. I think he's done a great job. I
00:27:52
Speaker
Yeah, he didn't get the fact that he didn't get that final in Japan really upset me. I was like, yeah, why not? Why not? Come on. Oh, and we ended up with fucking Jerome Garces. I never understand. Never understand what we deserved, apparently. I guess so. I guess so. What you did. You know what you did.
00:28:15
Speaker
But anyway, Red's fall to the Brumbies in a tight contest. Hanson hits the winner. Well done, young man. The cajones on you are already showing. He knew it as soon as he hit it. Yeah, he felt it. And yeah, then the team started celebrating before it went completely through because it was just, yeah, that's good.
00:28:41
Speaker
That was a hell of a kick right there. And especially to just say no, no question about it. As soon as the penalty, I got this. Oh yeah, totally. I was just like, wow, this kid's got confidence at least. Okay. Yeah. Let's do it. He didn't look to anybody else. He said, just give me the tea. Good on him. Give me the tea and have a beer on ice for me. Yeah. Something like that. Who's got a champagne? All right. So we'll see. I would not be surprised if it sees two in the final, they'll have one more game.
00:29:10
Speaker
to play pre the playoff round where they have the two and three play and the one you have to buy. We'll see what happens with that though, but I would not be surprised if it's these two teams playing for that trophy. Top over to the other side of the sea here. All right, Highlander's Blues.
Crusaders vs Chiefs Analysis
00:29:31
Speaker
Ben wants to pass over his match again, Shucker. Just what good news is, you get to kind of, you know, clean out the taste after this anyways, because your match is first. Chiefs 19, Crusaders 32.
00:29:47
Speaker
you know, and this is the headline from super rugby, which is, um, more misery on chiefs pile more misery on the chiefs. I just, you can't describe it any other way. Really. You know, it's just, yeah, it's there. Everything is going wrong. Yeah. When it rains, it pours, man. They're doing some things right. Um, I liked, so, um,
00:30:11
Speaker
They're trying to get so Akula in the loose that that's becoming more apparent They want to get it running. They want to run him In like the middle of the field in the center's channel. Um, he's not complying completely but When they uh, he's doing what he can when when they when they do it, right? They did it off of a line out and he just Barreled through everybody. It's like that's how you it's he still doesn't get it. There was another period where
00:30:38
Speaker
There was a quick ball off of a ruck and there were two Chiefs defenders, right? You know right on the inside garden that garden that breakdown but then a huge gap between two and three huge and he runs right into the double tackle into one and two together and I'm just like Fucker, it's right there. There's the space like there To that one. It's it's huge Drive a truck through it
00:31:04
Speaker
And it was just, it's like he still, it's not sinking in that like, no, when you run in space, things work well. And when you don't, things don't. Correct. So I also, I'm thinking about more too. They can't really use their back, their, their back three players in midfield in attack.
00:31:26
Speaker
Um, not those guys. No, they're all kind of tiny. They're all tiny. Um, and yeah, and like Mackenzie took a crash, like in a 10 channel crash and it didn't really work out too well for him.
00:31:39
Speaker
Yeah, it was Tom Sanders, too, I think. That's not the guy I'm running at. Sanders doesn't miss very often, last I checked. Before the restart had to happen, he was definitely top two in tackles. Well, Sanders was the one who just fucking trucked him for the first try. Yes. So it's like, you already saw what he can do. Don't run into him. Yeah, try not to think about the dry here, buddy. It doesn't really go well.
00:32:08
Speaker
Um, so yeah, they're not structured too well right now. Um, and it's just, you can tell they're, they're trying to, they're trying to believe, but any little thing can fuck them up. And something like a clear knock on that leads directly to a try getting a, just completely overlooked. That's enough to kill them. And that, that, that's unfortunate because it's a terrible call, but
00:32:38
Speaker
But like a good team can still recover because you're still, you're still close. They were within it. They were still in it. Yeah. That's the, that's the unfortunate part. Like you're, yeah. When you, when you're low on confidence and you're low on belief, something like that takes the wind out of your sails. You no longer, you no longer want to be on the field anymore. Yeah. You no longer, you're like, fuck it. This, this is, this is, this is how it's going to go. You're on the bar still already. Right. You know,
00:33:02
Speaker
You're like, what the fuck is our season? It sucks. And so like, that's O'Keeffe has to be better than that as far as knowing the situation and being like, I can't like.
00:33:14
Speaker
I can't kill a team's, you know, entire match for this. Um, especially cause it was wrong. That he made the wrong call. You gotta be, you know, if, if anything, you know, be a little bit more sympathetic, make it more of a game. It was a great game until that point. Right. And then after that, it was like, well, this match is over. Right. Yeah. I mean, so it's just kind of, I don't know what to tell you on that one. Um,
00:33:40
Speaker
Mackenzie still kicking too much to the middle of the field. Yes. Yeah, I saw the kicks. I was observing those kicks very badly, unfortunately. Yeah, when the other team has Will Jordan, Sevu, Rhys, and George. Yeah, that's not a back free I'm kicking to by any means whatsoever. Not once. There's times where he's getting it and he has the option to play it out wide and he's like, no, let's go high ball. And I'm like,
00:34:05
Speaker
Do you know who you're playing against? Ball in hand, dude. Ball in hand. This is the Crusaders team that if you can starve them of the ball, and they have the ability to make these players miss and to do something. This Chiefs team is obviously very good. We know the talent is there. It's just they haven't quite put it together. And this is a team that if you can starve them of the ball,
00:34:28
Speaker
you will make them pay because they are, they're definitely a team that likes to front, front run. You saw what happened in the crusaders in the hurricanes game. You know, yes, hurricane got a little bit lucky, but really, you know, they got out in front of them and the crusaders were chasing the game and that's not something they like. You know, they want to be, they want to be in front. They want to stay in front of you and they don't want, they don't want to be look, have to, you know, look up at you. They want to be able to just not look back, you know?
00:34:53
Speaker
So it's how that goes. I mean, Will Jordan obviously finds the trial line against Shocker. Oh yeah. They decided not to defend him and it was five meters out. It's like, yeah, that's a easy one. There you go. You can fall over. Yeah, no kidding. It's good enough to do that. Yes, he is.
00:35:14
Speaker
There's a guy that's got a ton of heart on this on this Chiefs team and I got to give it to him Brad Weber Good Lord. The guy the guy doesn't stop and he he's he'll be he doesn't care He knows sometimes he's just a speed bump, but he still does it and he still does it was like everything he's got so I was Fantastic this match. Yes kicking and his passing completely on point. He had one inside pass to
00:35:41
Speaker
Oh no, it wasn't Stevenson. Wainui? Yeah, it was Wainui. And Wainui just fucking dropped it. And you look at him, he's like,
00:35:53
Speaker
Are you, you're a fucking wing. That's your past. You make, and my name was like, yeah, I dropped it. My bad. Yeah. But it's like, oh, it's so, I'm sure it's frustrating as hell, um, for, you know, cause of stuff like that. Uh, Weber's been, he struggled early, but he's come on strong. Yeah. And we can't not talk about Lachlan Bashir. Um, yeah, I mean, they showed, they showed stats. He's, um,
00:36:20
Speaker
top five in tackles and top five in turnovers. Turnovers, yeah. Does he? Really hard to... Like that's all he... Yeah, we'll play a little game at the end of this here. And how many tries has he scored? He's been ridiculous. He's got like four in this competition, I think. This competition alone. Wow. Yeah, he knows what that is. This was a good... If there's a good day to have Richie Morgan not know where the fuck his kicking boot is, this was it.
00:36:49
Speaker
Yeah, because they were scoring tribes were fun and the twos weren't really that relevant Good on the Crusaders for doing what they do and you know, they they know how to put you away So that's definitely something you know that Nova to that list on this one, but didn't really matter so it's
00:37:09
Speaker
Yeah, it's a it's a definitely a tip of the cap to the Crusaders for their their depth But you know the Chiefs it's obviously just arms out palms up like what the shit's going on here You know, that's just how it is Warren Gatlin
00:37:25
Speaker
I think he's got, I think he's, he's thinking lions at this point. I have to assume that and that's not, I wouldn't blame him. Point, right? You only get that, you have, you know, how many times do you get that opportunity? Very few. Yeah. So I'd be thinking about that too. There's a lot of fucking hard decisions. I mean, we talk, you know, we talk about, uh, Eddie Jones a lot and his selections. This is like that,
00:37:52
Speaker
I'm simplified. Yeah, for sure. Totally. Um, so yeah, we'll see. We'll see what happens here. It's going to be, it's going to be a long, how, there's one game left for the chiefs. Can they get it done? We'll see. We shall see. Got to get one W. Just give me one W. Fucking embarrassed.
00:38:19
Speaker
Yeah, all right, let's go under the roof.
Blues vs Highlanders Breakdown
00:38:22
Speaker
Let's go down to foresight bar. Highlander's 21, Blues 32. Blues won for the first time at foresight bar in a little while here. Yeah, there's talk of a certain gentleman on the Blues that I think is 100% deserved and he's finally getting his chance and it's been like Christie.
00:38:42
Speaker
Oh, and it's, you know, it's people didn't know who he was because he stuck behind TJ Parinara when he's at the hurricanes. No shit. Of course you're not going to get a ton of playing time. You're stuck behind TJ Parinara, who is probably good enough to play on a lot of international sides, not namely all blacks. So, you know, it's, it's what are you going to do? You're, you're close. So he made the move and he made it. He made the move for himself and there's nobody that can blame him for that. And he is proving it to be a great move.
00:39:12
Speaker
for him so good on him good on from that Christy he played he's played so well he's you know Sam knock was informed let's not forget that he was informed as well you know he would he did nothing wrong yeah nothing we all
00:39:26
Speaker
When, when Finley Christie started that first match that he did, we all scratched our heads. Wait, Knox been doing fine. Why would you know? Nope. We know why now. This is why he's been ridiculous. Yes. He's been excellent. So, um, yeah, loads of credit to him. And, you know, obviously this blues team has, um, been a revelation since, um,
00:39:50
Speaker
And since obviously both embarrassed come into the fold and even before that, but yeah, Liam McDonald's got this group playing a lot better than they were. This is the blues of old. Everybody remembers no longer the joke that they once were not that long ago. So it's a tonic credit to this team overall and the coaching staff, but certainly there's a few key guys you can pick out from this one.
00:40:16
Speaker
Do we want to talk about that, uh, that controversial moment? Because I have thoughts. I'm sure you have thoughts. Um, the, you know, try. Let's just not, not talk about it. No, I think that was legit. Good. That was a good no call or good call back. Um, to go off a was, was offside and Smith legitimately tripped over him. Uh,
00:40:40
Speaker
It's unfortunate because he slight sell job, but yeah put out. Yeah Oh definitely, but he kicked his feet out It's one of those if you just he just flopped over and kept his feet out of it. Yeah, um, that that's that's easy But it's you know, also hard for a big man to do like that He made every effort he could to get out of the way, but he ended up getting just a little it was you know He was it up
00:41:01
Speaker
Smith stepped on his foot so it's like and his foot was Legitimately in front of him. He could have pulled it away and really tried to get out of the way and didn't um So yeah, it did fuck up the entire play. Right? Um, so because he you know The was at number five had to go pick it up and then then make the pass and at that point That's when everything was fucked up. So
00:41:23
Speaker
Yeah, I think lost in this is also Eklund who's retreating and is also in the way. Here's the thing. Halfback shouldn't have to change his mind on what pass he was about to throw because of a lazy runner. That is offsides, period. If you're gonna be a lazy runner, you have two options. Get your ass back on sides quickly, duck down, or hold back and wait for the next set of plays to go.
00:41:51
Speaker
he didn't do either as well. So between Tui Nucuafe and Eklund, yes, it was offsides. I don't care if it was a wee bit of a sell job. Yes, it was a great read by Pavale to get over the line. But you know what? It doesn't matter. It didn't matter.
00:42:08
Speaker
So we've seen, and you know, I've criticized like Ben Young's for sometimes throwing it right into a player who's like crouching offside. This isn't that kind of sell job. This was, you know, Aaron Smith has every right to run a taxi line there. And if Tuinu Colafe is in the way, that's his fault. Yeah. Right.
00:42:28
Speaker
And he wanted to run a taxi and maybe he didn't when he when he was thinking about it at first But yeah, if you're there fine, that's his right to run it so he can run it and you know The pass came out after that So I thought that was good. Like he I think he legit tried to throw a pass there and try to make it work and and yeah, he sold it but
00:42:47
Speaker
Yeah. I don't think he just, I don't think he just, you know, yeah. No, I'm not throwing this. Of course. Yeah. He wanted to. Um, so, but I got it. I got to stick up for my other, you know, for we're, we're slamming on one prop for being lazy and out of the way we got it. Um,
00:43:05
Speaker
We got to praise another one who was rewarded for his effort. Oh, it's one of the Fosse to one of the Fosse that excellent. Excellent. He takes out. Let me make sure I get exactly who it was. So I can't remember who it was. Um, I think it was Caleb Clark goes, it takes a tackle, um, in the middle of the field for, um, to pull out to, and was it, yeah, it was, it was both locks Kelly, uh, to, uh, to Yadi. Yep. Um,
00:43:30
Speaker
They're over the ball. They make the tackle then they get they both establish position over the ball. Yeah
00:43:37
Speaker
Wait, do I have that backwards? You're looking at four and five. Yeah, I'm sorry. Me and the wrong guys. It was Harry, Harry Parkinson, and Jack Wettin. Yeah, Wettin, yep. Wrong team. Wrong team. I had a boy. Wait a minute, this sounds like backwards here. Yeah, I had it backwards. And Tuna Goafe comes in and just deposits them on the other side of the rock. Both. Tuna Goafe, sorry. Just deposit them both on the other side of the rock. Just comes in and pushes them off. Gets the offside penalty.
00:44:07
Speaker
And then that's what, and then he scored off of that. Cause that was the, uh, a pick, uh, yeah. Kiri, you want, he just brought Darren. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, Oh, this is not going to end well. Is it? Nope. He just, just picks it and it's really easy to get there. Yep. Good to see a prop doing prop work and then getting the reward for a try. Yeah. Very good.
00:44:31
Speaker
Yeah, it's, um, it was, it was, yeah, I mean, great job for him. And, uh, yeah, Caleb Clark continues to acquit himself very well in this map and, uh, this league. Uh, yeah, great. He's willing to do that. He's willing to do the hard work too. Yes. That's, that's what's amazing to see. Usually a flyer like him doesn't want to get involved in that, that contact area, but he's not fucking around. Yeah. He did. He did not care. He was, um, he was willing to throw himself in there. So good on him. Um,
00:45:00
Speaker
You know, we got a, we got a kind of bad mouth at our boy, Tony Lamborn. He did not have his best game, you know, last minute start, you know, he gets called into the starting lineup after Gibson gets dropped and Aaron Caro gets called on the bench, but still you got to be ready to step up. And, uh, I'm not sure. So it was, uh, it was oops time for him. Um, yeah.
00:45:20
Speaker
Well, he had a hand in one of the blues tries though. He did. Nice little run down the- What a pass that was to get it to him though. What a pass that was to get it to him. My word, whoever said that this guy is out of form, Bowdoin Barrett, man, bite your tongue. God, that was a great pass.
00:45:41
Speaker
He had the highlanders. They, they were, every time he got the ball, they were fucked. Cause he would, he would throw a dummy pass, a dummy kick, do something and they would declare what they're doing. And then he's like, Oh, okay. Boom. I'm going to do the thing you can't defend and unfair. Yep. Very good. Every single time he got the ball, just, just killing them. Yep. I agree. I agree. Um, let's, let's play a, let's play a fun game. Um,
00:46:12
Speaker
If you're Ian Foster, the much talked about Ian Foster at this point, let's just pick a pack. I'm not going to pick the whole black line. Let's pick a pack. Tawango Fosse is probably your loose head.
00:46:27
Speaker
Um, you know, some will say it should be, um, Moody, but no, I think he's played himself into that, into that shirt for sure. The most impact Moody had in that, um, that game, what last week was when he blocked for a try, not that this past week, the week before it was before. Yeah. Like, uh, no, Moody, it's we're done as a sport, selecting props just for their scrumming ability. If that's all you can do. Um,
00:46:57
Speaker
You're not really going to make the impact at that level that that's new. Yeah. Um, well, sorry, Tomoko Fosse is a three, but still I would pick the other prop on the other side of this, uh, this particular scrum, the blue scrum to a new coffee as well. Despite his offside penalty. I think he's also done himself a lot of favors in this, in this competition and probably put himself into an all black Jersey again as well. Um, as much as, as, as, as much as I love dinkles Cody Taylor's probably your two.
00:47:27
Speaker
Um right now on form uh, I mean cody taylor's been I mean fucking dinkholes have been tearing it the fuck up, right? But yeah, yeah, he hasn't played for a few weeks here. So we'll see. Um, yeah The first couple weeks he had how many people have tried city school?
00:47:44
Speaker
He had a couple, but yeah. And Taylor found the whitewash to this match too, so I'll give it to him. So yeah, we'll call it Taylor with 1B being Dane Coles and Amua probably in the stands somewhere ready to pounce at the first opportunity.
00:48:03
Speaker
Four, it's four and five gotta be two people in Whitelock, right? Or am I crazy? No, I don't think you're crazy. I mean, it can't not be Whitelock and it can't be not be two people or two he's playing. He's played so great this this competition and you know, basically since taking that Blues captaincy role, he's just really, really done himself a lot of favors. So yeah, so we have that back row is going to be hands down the hardest
00:48:33
Speaker
Position to pick in the always impossible. It's gonna be so hard. I don't I personally don't see as Terrible as they've been one. You're not gonna sit your captain. So you have to pick Sam Kane, right? I've been great But you know what? He's there for other qualities. He actually had a he's had pretty good games He just doesn't have anybody around him. No, so him and Bush here are the only forwards for that team right now And that's the other guy I was saying, you know, it's really hard to not pick Laughlin Bashir
00:48:59
Speaker
Name of six that's being more impactful right now. Oh, there isn't one. You look, I mean, we've, you know, enough has been said, you know, about some of the, about like Shannon Frizzell. Again, really, really tough to not pick him either, but Bashir has been better. Right. Bashir has been doing a lot. Bashir does more than Frizzell has been doing.
00:49:21
Speaker
Like, Frizzell's been doing fine, but Bashir, I mean, there's nobody doing anything more than Bashir's doing on a pitch. He's the busiest person on the field. And he knows he has to be, too. So he's like, yeah, I'm just gonna try and do it all, guys. Yeah, so it's really hard to not pick either one of them. And then that brings you to Ape Man. Do you pick an out-and-out Ape Man like Akira Iwani, Satutu, Mikaela Tuttu, or do you pick Ari Stavea?
00:49:50
Speaker
I go with Sevilla. Yeah. I mean, that sounds like the right move, but man, like you sit there and go, Sevilla, what about these guys? And it's like, you could make an argument for all four of those guys. Really? I, I, so two, two is my backup. That those are my two. Those are my two. Right. And to me, it's not, I might bring a carry on. He is a 19 and just do that. He was good. Um, I want to see more from him.
00:50:16
Speaker
I'm sure, I'm sure as well. The last two weeks, he's been very good. So yeah, he's still not making the impact. Again, if I'm, I'm looking at on form, that's the only way to compare, you know, fuck how people are playing right now. Um, but also maybe, you know, maybe what you'd be asking him to do. Um, but I, I know that. So real. And really if you, so if you pick Sevilla,
00:50:42
Speaker
Really, here's the upside of picking Sevilla in that back three with potentially Bashir and Geez, you could pick any of those eight men that we said and play them at six if you really want to and make an argument for that
00:50:57
Speaker
But if you, here's the upside of six and seven being Bashir and Kane and then, and then eight being survey, you have three fetchers on the field. And if you want to call Cody Taylor a fetcher, that's four. So pretty good. And Kane's not going to make too much of it. He doesn't seem to make too much of an impact in attack with ball in hand. Um,
00:51:16
Speaker
Bashir's starting to, he's showing really good points. He's got four or five tries in this competition, so yeah, give it to him. So it's like you have that, and then you have Sevilla, who is just a problem. All around, all around, whether you've got the ball or you don't, he's going to be a problem for the other team. And to me, that's what I would seek out. So 2-2 is a problem in attack.
00:51:45
Speaker
Not he'll make a tackle in defense, but he's not gonna do the things that already he's gonna do To just be down. Yeah. Yeah, he definitely is tries to be mean to anybody He is not he is not he's not shy about doing it to anybody. I
00:52:03
Speaker
Yeah. And personally, it's for me, if I'm picking guys, it's guys I want to watch. Fair enough. Yeah. I want to watch Artie and I want to watch Sootoo. I can watch or not watch Akira Iwani at times. Yeah. I've been a Akira Iwani fan for a little while now. I like him. He can disappear. And you just kind of forget he's there for a little bit at times. Yeah.
00:52:29
Speaker
you know, where's the two to his when they've got the ball and you know, we're already is anytime we'll see if he, we'll see if he's, if he's healthy, that'll be the first thing for us to do to get job one for so to do get, get your ass out of hell next. Then you can start looking at maybe getting a black Jersey. And if he's not, then that makes it really easy to go with the Soviet and you want it. Yeah. Yeah. No kidding. Um, okay. Um, let's go to the pick of M. Um,
Predictions for Upcoming Matches
00:52:58
Speaker
Hurricanes and Chiefs. Well, I don't think there's any mystery about these ones. Unless you want to jump ship. That's a no. They might win one.
00:53:12
Speaker
i don't know maybe maybe the hurricanes do what the crusaders did and play a little b-side action i don't know no i i think i'm gonna go with the canes they're not gonna pick for the chiefs no no i'm not i'm not even gonna bother i'll well i'll pay you the dollar ahead of time
00:53:31
Speaker
Uh, shit. We'll see. Um, at least it's in Hamilton. Oh, no, it's not. Nevermind. Nevermind. Tim Wellington. I misread that. Um, Crusaders and Islanders, uh, Crusaders, calendars. I've been playing that well. Not great. Yeah. Sorry guys. Um, all right. Let's go over to the other side of the sea here. So bring me a, you, uh, rebels and Brumbies.
00:53:55
Speaker
Hmm rebels the quote-unquote home team here home away from home I think the Brumby's got their their jitters out last week and probably They'll probably just decide. Okay. Fuck you. We're rolling over you today And the rebels are gonna still Hit and miss they should not have been as close as they were with the force probably not given given their talent level
00:54:25
Speaker
So yeah, I'm going to go from these. I'm not sure the rebels heart. They haven't found their purpose in it yet. So they're, they're not quite, they're waiting on something and it's not coming yet. Yeah. No, I mean, and Hodge did, he just missed that, that penalty to not send it to extra time, but say lovey, um, toss and reds. Oh, back to this one. Are we, um,
00:54:51
Speaker
I mean, if the Reds team from last week shows up, this is easily the Reds. I think they're going to be proper angry after that too. Yeah, same. For quite a few reasons. I'm going with thy Reds.
00:55:07
Speaker
Yeah, it's been nice to watch Michael Hooper run around again, but that won't be enough. Right. No, no, no, no. That's not fair anymore. The Todd's actually have some good pieces. They do have some good pieces. I really do like Maddox at 15.
00:55:23
Speaker
Before this buy for them, he did not have his best game. But when you're not used to playing in a certain shirt, sometimes you're gonna have a bad game. But really, before that, he looked great in that 15th shirt. So that's his shirt to lose at this point in my book, even after a crappy game like that for the water toss. And he's certainly playing himself possibly into a gold jersey.
00:55:48
Speaker
I thought he was pretty good. So I yeah, there's plenty there's plenty to like about the war toss But I just think that red seam is too good All right, damn we don't look at this we're under an hour all right
