    Rugby Was the Winner on the Day
    Nov 26 2025

    Rugby is all done and dusted for 2025 and it’s been an absolutely epic year - or a rather turbulent one if you’re Razor Robertson and the All Blacks. With a couple of pretty big losses, the All Blacks will be champing a the bit to prove the naysayers wrong with next year’s tour to South Africa and the inaugural Nations Cup.

    And Super Rugby turns 30 next year and we reckon it’s gonna be a doozy. We’ll be covering all the games, every week of the competition, so tune in! Until then, thanks for listening, and have a happy new year!

    It happens once in a blue moon - the All Blacks lose to the English at Twickenham. Not since 2012 have the Red Roses secured a win over the men in black on their home soil. And they did it in emphatic fashion as only the Poms can, by singing a well known slavery song at top volume over the haka. A classic colonial move, but boy did it pay off. After a solid start from the All Blacks, the English ran over the top of them, dominating them in almost all facets of the game. New Zealand have had a big old year, and the poms knew it - even Henry Pollock was literally licking his lips at the chance to topple the mighty AB’s. As people call for his head on a spike, where to now for Razor? Will we see him ring the changes for the last test against Wales, or will it be same-same one last time in 2024. One thing we are sure of is… poor Wales don’t stand a chance.

    It’s 2 from 2 in the Autumn Series for the All Blacks, as they eye the ultimate prize - a grand slam. The AB’s were too good in the end for a valiant Scottish side, who had to drag themselves back from a 17-0 drubbing by half time.


    But it was one All Black in particular who broke the hearts of 68,000 Scotland fans, and cemented Murrayfield as the All Black’s spiritual home-away-from-home. Sir Damian of McKenzie showed up half way through the second act once again to put on a dominant performance and guide New Zealand to a much needed victory. Covered in blood and black tape, he manoeuvred through the Scottish like a wiley old fox and proved he is the ultimate super-sub and frankly irreplaceable. Can he do it against England? Or will Razor Robertson change things up at Twickenham. The boys preview the upcoming match, the possible lineups and ask the big question - how many yellow is too much yellow?
