    Slip it in
    Mar 24 2026
    This week on the pod, the boys discuss some big wins that are shaping the comp. The Hurricanes continue their habit of whooping everyone’s arses as Ruben Love tears the Highlanders apart - can they continue doing it to the top teams when they come along? The Blues build their momentum with a comeback win in Sydney and some lessons in refereeing from Beauden Barrett. And the Chiefs pull out a Chiefs classic, and throw the game away against the Brumbies in Canberra as James Slipper gets yet another award for something.

    If you go out in the Rain
    Mar 17 2026

    Round 5 is done! It was cats and dogs in Fiji, as the Drua took all the angry energy from not being allowed to perform ‘Na Bole’ at the start of the match, to punish the Brumbies - and all because someone up to at Super Rugby thinks it’s too hot?


    The Hurricanes cruise to the top of the table, but now the hard games start. Can they hold on to their first place spot?


    Moana’s defence continues to plague them as the Blues knock up 40 at Eden Park.


    And the TMO might need to do some sim training, as they forget what constitutes a try and deny the NSW Waratahs a chance against their old foe the Queensland Reds.

  • A Hat Trick of Hat Tricks

    A Hat Trick of Hat Tricks
    Mar 10 2026
    Round 4 of Super Rugby saw a rare hat trick of hat tricks in two epic 50 point rompings as the Chiefs and Hurricanes taught Moana Pasifika and the Waratahs a sorely needed lesson. And to add insult to injury, Joseph Sua’a’li’i is out for 6 weeks - will it actually make any difference? Two of our most cherished All Blacks returned to the field and made immediate impact - are Beauden Barrett and Damian McKenzie still our best? It looks like it! And there’s one question that needs answering - can the Crusaders win without Will Jordan? All this and a review of that very weird down trou from Salakaia-Loto! Tune in!

    The Aussie fans are going nuts, as their Super Rugby sides do a clean sweep of their Kiwi counterparts in a rare exciting weekend for Australian rugby. Could we see an Aussie side claim a trans-Tasman title for the first time in 12 years? Probably not. But maybe…just maybe. And if it’s anyone, it’ll be the Brumbies.

    On this week’s episode we review the round that was, with some seriously award-winning tries, a fair bit of biff, and a fair bit of rain. Can the Chiefs bounce back after a painful loss to the Crusaders, will the Hurricanes be able to play rugby again on a dry pitch? And there’s all to play for in a derby to end all derbies as the Blues host the Crusaders at Eden Park. Will it be NZ victories or will more up the Brum for the Kiwi teams.

    Round 2 is done and it was a right rutting in the capital, as the Canes powered up in their bye week to well and truly murder Moana Pasifika for the 4th time in the capital. Fehi Fineanganofo decided to ruin Gareth’s fantasy with a team-effort pass in the in goal, that saw Josh Moorby take a hat trick on his first game back for the Canes since his standout season in 2024.

    The Chiefs gave the Highlanders a familiar dose of almost, as they powered to another win at Forsyth Barr. And the Crusaders… oh the Crusaders… lost for the second time this season to the mighty Brumbies, who look every bit a championship winning side and are duly doing their part as the cockroach of Super Rugby.

    It’s a Miracle!
    Feb 17 2026

    It’s Round One of Super Rugby Pacific 2026!


    On the pod this week, the boys dissect the first games - equal measures of entertaining romps and snorefests! The previously wooden spoon Highlanders do what few teams ever can, and best the mighty Crusaders. Will they continue their form, or will it be another year of mediocrity for the southern men? And what will they do if Jamie Joseph toddles off to the ABs in a few weeks time? The Chiefs continue their winning ways against the Blues, with some key All Blacks stepping up when it matters.


    It’s a miracle in Fiji, as super-captain Fai’ilagi takes the reins from Ardie Savea and leads his team to a statement win, including a hat trick of tries for the man himself. And the comp heats up in Aussie, with some big scorelines, setting the tone for what’s to come.

  • 30 Years In The Making

    30 Years In The Making
    Feb 6 2026
    Super Rugby is turning 30 the Super Smack boys are on the way to the party with at least a six pack of Speights or non-alcoholic seltzer. In this episode, the lads preview the 2026 season, discuss Super Rugby’s evolution, panic a little bit about missing players, overreact to pre-season form, and immediately make predictions they’ll deny ever making. Coaching changes, team dynamics, dedication (or lack thereof) to fantasy rugby - it’s all here. Expect hot takes, cold beers, and zero accountability as the boys fire the starting gun on another chaotic season.
