The podcast returns! This week on the show, we cover a mountain of material. From the NRL and AFL preliminary finals, to the Rugby World Cup and EPL, nothing is left untouched. “Tomo’s Think Tank” makes its debut, and is well worth listening. He touches on everything from England’s controversial black RWC strip, to Sonny Bill Williams’ playing future, Phar Lap, rugby union props, the thong, Bones, and How I Met Your Mother.

David does RWC – Days 7 and 8

RWC Days 7 and 8

The Rugby World Cup (RWC) has motored through its second round of action over the weekend with the first real upset of the competition occurring on Saturday evening. The atmosphere has been great at the games, and it helps that most games have featured a reasonable degree of competitiveness. I mentioned that I was going to the fan zone on day three, and I did and it was a good experience. They set it up like a rugby field (with an actual mini sized pitch in the middle) with stands and massive screens to watch the games on.  There was a good crowd in, especially considering it rained for the first wee while.

The 2011 Rugby World Cup is well under way in New Zealand, and we’ve sent our Chief Rugby Analyst David Shipton along to cover the entire tournament for us (well… not really. He lives there.)

RWC Days 4 + 5 + 6

We have had a fair bit to be excited about over here in NZ. The rugby action has been good for the most part, with games being well attended and played in good spirits. There have been a couple of good ones to boot and plenty of well worked tries as well. We move more into the second round, with some of the bigger teams playing over the weekend.  Firstly though, here is a look at what has happened with days 4, 5 and 6. Read more…

NRL Team Lists – Finals Week 2

September 13, 2011 Leave a comment
Not long to go now, only two weeks until the grand final, and the games are starting to hot up. This weekend the Tigers ‘reward’ for beating the Dragons in an intense encounter is a game against the 6th placed Warriors, who lost by 30 points to the Broncos. Along the same lines, the Broncos ‘reward’ is a sudden death clash with the Dragons, who entered the finals in great form. Apparently that’s the best finals system around… anyway, check out the teams, with some BIG inclusions.

RWC Day 3

The Rugby World Cup (RWC) powered through its third day of matches, with many more fascinating games on offer. The thing that I am really enjoying about the RWC is the fact that the minnows are putting up a good performance at most of the games. They are generally playing really well for at least 60 minutes of the games, before eventually succumbing to more experienced and better sides.  It has been good to see them put up a fight though, and not get thrashed. It would be nice though to see a side put together an 80 minute performance.   Read more…
