Super Rugby 2025

[Bovidae]

Out of interest, I watched a recording so I could FF. It's still a show with no appeal to me, which is why I very rarely watch it.

@Steven-Harris Wilson was the one talking up BB starting at 1st 5.

Watching the impartial panel (not)on the breakdown
You may as well give the Chiefs the title now according to Beaver and Joe Wheeler thinks Tavatavanawai should replace Reiko at centre

All impartialness goes out the the window and they become fan boys and girls
Ironically only Goldie displaying common sense
For Christ sakes I thought these people were more measured

I can barely stomach the Breakdown anymore. It’s so far past it’s used by date it ain’t funny.

Sky need to completely overhaul their main midweek rugby show. The fact they are even talking about AB selection at this stage is just pointless. We already know based on last year’s selections that it’s about how you perform towards the end of the competition, not the start.

As I Canes fan it’s hard to engage in a rugby show that doesn’t mention your team in two weeks apart from a two minute preview of the upcoming game against the Blues this weekend right at the end of the show.

BRING BACK R-UNION!

I'll only bother watching Aotearoa Rugby Pod these days

I got a weakness for most rugby shows. Aotearoa Rugby Pod my favourite , but I still watch Breakdown as kind of like in here, and liking everyone's opinions etc , and I probably got plenty of time being retired.. Kind of like @Bovidae , I don't FF, but basically just enjoy the bits that I find relevant. Mind you when I was in Wales etc last year(and when I lived in Aus) I watched their rugby shows too. I agree would be good if it upped the formula etc, but I mean even Aotearoa RP can be a cheer squad from those boys too,
Would love to see a proper reasonably critical show on Super comp/games , with stats news etc.

[Yeetyaah]

There's a new pod that's popped up called Super Smack Pod. Quite different to the usual boring stuff, bot hugely deep on analysis but they chat some shit and have some crack up segments. A bit of personality rather than talking about being in and around everything every week.
