Pick & Go Rugby Podcast | TAB

Welcome back to the Pick and Go podcast. Fehi Fineanganofo is on track to break records for the Hurricanes, but he won’t be for the All Blacks as he heads overseas to join Newcastle Red Bull in the UK. Is it time to change the rules or is there a way to let overseas players play in the ABs while keeping Super Rugby strong. We discuss should Super Rugby be premium comp in NZ? Is it time for NPC to take its place as the top comp? We’re responding to punters law suggestions and putting them to two former All Blacks to see what they think. We of course review and preview all the latest Super Rugby action.

Welcome back to the Pick and Go! It’s the last episode of 2025 after what has been a very long and interesting season, filled with some C-class tipping, surprising results, and a whole lot of unanswered questions. The lads kick things off by being asked the big one: what do they rate the All Blacks out of 10—and why? After what could be considered a just-above-average international season, the ABs showed flashes of what they can do, but also left fans with plenty of uncertainty and inconsistency. How do we trust them going into next year? Have they lost their aura? With the All Blacks’ final game of the season now in the books, the lads dissect the 50 points they put on Wales. Were we satisfied with that? They also dive into a full review of the South Africa vs Ireland test—a match full of drama with multiple yellow cards and a red. Are Australia and Joe Schmidt under some pressure after getting beaten by France to close out their tour? To wrap up this season’s podcast, the lads give out some way-too-early predictions for 2026: who’s going to win Super Rugby, who takes out the NPC, and the tough question of all tough questions—how many games do they think the All Blacks will lose next year?

Welcome back to the Pick and Go Podcast!The lads kick things off by reviewing the latest round of The Rugby Championship. New Zealand have once again retained the Bledisloe Cup, and Eden Park continues its reputation as an unshakable fortress.

Can Canterbury go for an unbeaten season and carry the Log o’ Wood into next year? Will we see a North Harbour winless 2025 season?
