Wallabies v England, All Blacks at Murrayfield & Rennie Wasnβt Happy | Nations Championship Preview
Monday, November 2, 2026 β’ Duration 50:23
The Nations Championship kicks off up north this week, and World Cup winner Mike Tindall joins Jeremy Paul, Kieran Read and Justin Marshall to preview the Wallabies v England at Twickenham.
Tins tells JP his greatest asset is enthusiasm (βrealism, not so muchβ), explains the pressure on Steve Borthwick and Englandβs yellow-card problem, gives his take on the high-scoring Prem and the driving maul, and asks whether the northern game really needs the Nations Championship. He also shares the story of JPβs season at Gloucester, where the questions to the forwards coach went on so long the session was over before anything physical happened.
Then the boys turn to the All Blacks: South Africaβs tough tour north, Scotland at Murrayfield (and whether theyβll go into their shell again), Wales 70 years without a win, and why Dave Rennie still wasnβt happy after 93 points in two Bledisloe tests.

No Defence, No Fight: JP Goes Off on the Wallabies
Tuesday, October 20, 2026 β’ Duration 52:14
The Bledisloe series is done, and it ended with the All Blacks running riot over the Wallabies in Sydney. Andy Rowe, Kieran Read, Justin Marshall and Jeremy Paul start by paying tribute to young South African lock Hyron Andrews, then look at the rugby world rallying behind Nathan Charles, including the All Blacksβ special haka in the sheds.
JP is back and fired up about the Wallabiesβ defence. That kicks off a big debate on structure versus character. The boys also cover Beauden Barrettβs comeback, Fabian Holland and Scott Barrett running the engine room, Peter Lakaiβs rise, the loose forward mix, and whether Damian McKenzie is the long-term 10 or 15. They finish with a preview of the Nations Championship as the northern tour approaches.

The All Blacks put 50 on the Wallabies at Eden Park, and Kieran Read called it in the group chat before kick-off. Andy, Justin Marshall and Kieran break down the second-half blowout: the lineout penalty that swung momentum, Damian McKenzie at 10, the Barrett brothersβ dominance, and how the All Blacks owned the air and the 22.
Harry Wilson takes the Harvey Norman Effortless Moment (and the best No. 8 in the world debate kicks off), Jeremy Paul goes missing in action, and the boys get into where the Wallabies went wrong, their midfield crisis heading to Sydney, and why the Bledisloe should be a three-test series.
Plus, All Blacks halfback Cam Roigard joins Andy straight out of the team review on sniping around the ruck, the shorter kicking game, and playing with D-Mac.

Bledisloe Preview: Lonergan, Barrett's Return & the All Blacks' Turnover Problem
11 Men, 1 iPhone & a Famous Win: Wallabies Stun the Boks 42-38
Monday, September 28, 2026 β’ Duration 25:58
The Wallabies beat the Springboks 42-38 in Perth, and they finished the game with only 11 men on the field. Andy is joined by Wallaby Jeremy Paul and former All Black Justin Marshall for a quick reaction to one of the strangest Test matches ever played.
JP is thrilled and a bit shaken. Marshy calls Andy out for jumping on the bandwagon. The boys look at Len Ikitau's world-class return at 13, the TMO comms failure that had the referee taking calls on a mobile phone, and four Wallabies in the bin at once. They also cover Rassie's call to bring on eight replacements together, Harry Wilson's captaincy and choice to take the points, and why the Boks couldn't use a four-man advantage to win it.
Marshy gives his common-sense fix for refereeing without a TMO. Plus Fraser McReight's big game, and a look ahead to the Bledisloe Cup opener at Eden Park.

Four tests, four weeks, 49 players β and the All Blacks come home 3-1 down. Kieran Read and Jeremy Paul are back in studio with Andy to work out what actually separated the two sides, and whether the gap is as big as the scoreline says.JP returns from a holiday that involved two kids in hospital, eleven days in Bali and the Jonah Lomu premiere β including the small matter of the try Jonah took off him in the 2000 Bledisloe.
Kieran breaks down the blueprint from test one that the All Blacks couldn't repeat: parity at set piece, holding the line, and taking the pressure without giving away the penalties that let the Springboks kick their way up the park. Eight penalty goals to zero across the series tells its own story.
Then it gets loud. Andy reads out All Blacks assistant coach Neil Barnes' post-match comments on the refereeing, and JP launches into a full-blooded rant about the new brake foot ruling at scrum time β why he thinks it's dangerous, what referees should actually be looking at, and the simple fix nobody in World Rugby has landed on.
Plus: the selection calls that didn't land, Reuben Love and Cam Roigard as the long-term 9-10, whether Ardie Savea is being used properly, Jordie Barrett's claim as the world's best 12, Ethan Blackadder's return, and JP making the case that a Les Kiss Wallabies side beats the Springboks in Perth β and then the All Blacks at Eden Park.

Tamaiti Williams on the Superbug That Ate His Spine | And Where to now for the All Blacks
Kieran Read on Rassie's F-Bombs, the Mind Games and the Third Test
Tuesday, September 1, 2026 β’ Duration 45:27
The All Blacks lost the second test in Cape Town but were they actually that bad?
Andy Rowe is joined by former All Blacks captain and two-time Rugby World Cup winner Kieran Read to break down a game that turned on two minutes at the start and an aerial battle the All Blacks still can't win.
Read explains the untidy exit that had New Zealand seven points down inside two minutes, why the Springboks changed their defensive picture (14 in the line, nobody hunting the ruck) and what that means for the way the All Blacks attack. Plus the accuracy numbers: South Africa took 4.8 points from every 22 entry, New Zealand just 2.8 from nine.
There's the 2009 parallel (Matfield, box kicks and the series that changed how New Zealand played the game) and why the All Blacks are still catching high balls the old-school way. Pieter-Steph du Toit's 100th test. Then there's Rassie. The suit and tie, the team sheet handed over half an hour before kickoff, the F-bombs in the press conference and the complaint that the All Blacks are planting seeds in the media (from the man who put out an hour-long video on the referees during the Lions series). Read's take: "coaches have been doing this for a long time, but Rassie is the absolute king of it." Plus the scrum row it all came from: "we're not walking around, we're scrumming." And what changes for the third test, including Sam Darry, a six-two bench and where Rieko Ioane fits.
Over the Tasman, the Wallabies win 27-21 in Argentina, Les Kiss loosens the structure, and Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii starts on the bench β would you put him on the All Blacks wing to catch our high balls?
