The Drawing Board – Super Rugby Final Preview

In order to complete their fairy-tale journey to the top of the Super Rugby podium, the Sharks must complete their 30,000 mile course. Whilst they have been racking up the air miles in the past few weeks, they have also collected a couple of big – name scalps along the way in the form of the defending champion Reds and the table topping Stormers.  Both victories have come during a formbook-shredding and Indian Ocean-spanning journey that not many saw coming. One final long haul trip awaits them if they are to cap their rugby odyssey with the southern hemisphere silverware with the Chiefs lying in wait in Hamilton this weekend where a new Super Rugby champion will be crowned.

Coming in 2020? Surely not…

With the Ol… I mean, London ‘event’ in full swing, join Adrian, Matt and Tomo as they dissect the biggest sporting event on the planet. This is no normal analysis, that’s for sure, including a full review of the Opening Ceremony.

Tomo even suggests a sport that should be included in 2020, which would simultaneously challenge intellectuals and elite athletes alike.

Also on the show: Michael Clarke is headed to the Thunder – for one game, Michael Theoklitos legally changes his name, Curtis Good moves to the EPL, and Tomo unleashes in The Rant.

There’s all of that and plenty more, including our usual NRL, AFL and Super Rugby coverage. What’s not to love? Listen in now!

Super Rugby Qualifying Finals/NRL Round 20/AFL Round 17 Megatips

Super Rugby Round 18/NRL Round 19/AFL Round 16 Megatips

The Drawing Board (13/07/2012)

Hello and welcome to Who’s Playing Who’s weekly rugby blog.

Both these sides will be battling for top spot in the ladder though, as they are only separated by a point at this stage.  The Brumbies, Crusaders, Bulls, Sharks, Reds and Hurricanes probably need a bonus point victory to get into the playoff spots.
