Elite Rugby Banter

Alex, Matt, Ben, and Adam assess the wreckage that was their Superbru picks for week 3, and Alex memorably lets loose on the Brumbies, the genesis of which (apparently) is Rob Valentini's injury in round one (?). Also, cricket sneaks a mention. Music from bensound.com.

The gang review the previous week's Super 15 action, including the #YearOfAkira continuing, Akker van der Merwe making a fist of being the Bok's number two no 2, and there is the cursory mention of American Football, and wrestling (Matt's fault obviously). Comment, rate and like where you can plese! Music by bensound.com.

Matt, Ben, and Adam chat about the Fantasy week that's been (including Ben's truly disastrous decision to leave Reiko Ioane on his draft bench). Alex, fresh off a long, long cycle, mails it in, and along with Ben (recovering from a party the night before) changes the course of the week's transfers. Music from bensound,com.

Ben, Matt, and Adam look at the coming weekend's games, with Alex mailing in his feedback since he had a social engagement on a Sunday. However, the biggest mistake was reserved for Adam, who guaranteed (most likely) that the Implosion badge is not far off. And he was warned. Fail. Follow us on Soundcloud and iTunes!

Matt (this week's MVP for technical reasons), Alex, Ben, and Adam talk about how we are living in the Golden Age of the Try Scoring Prop, why Keegan Daniel is the worst, and what rugby can learn from American football. Music from bensound.com.

Ben, Matt, and Adam try to figure out how to improve on their mediocre performance from Week 3, with Michael Alaalatoa very much on the chopping block. Ben also makes a possibly inspired call for Week 4. Music from bensound.com.

Matt, Ben, Alex, and Adam stare into their crystal ball, with Ben predicting the Hurricanes to have troubles reaching Argentina, but just squeaking out a win. The man is a savant, or is he? Matt also flakes out on his beloved Sunwolves. Music from bensound.com. Check us out on iTunes too.

Alex, Ben, Matt, and Adam survey the highs and lows from the Choice, and try to fix the damage. Alex also mourns Rob Valentini. It's fast, loose, and mostly un-edited. Music from bensound.com

The guys chat about the weekends games, with the Stormers showing deft skill in throwing a game they didn't deserve to lose. Everyone was rather chatty, so the coming weekend's picks will be uploaded tomorrow. In future, the review and picks will be uploaded separately. FYI ;) Music from bensound.com, and follow us on iTunes.

The Four Musketeers turn their attention to Fox Sport's Super 15 Fantasy game, and choose a team to compete with the rest of the world. Will they get it right in round one? Music from bensound.com

Super Rugby is back, with the Stormers just squeaking past the Jaguares, and the Lions getting Swys de Bruin's rein as coach off to a good start. Alex, Ben, Matt, and Adam chat about the weekend's games, and look ahead to this coming weekend where the New Zealand and Australian conferences enter the fray. Music from bensound.com.

Damian McKenzie is likely moving to flyhalf for the 2018 season. Will he still be as explosive and how will the Chiefs fare? Music from bensound.com.

Will Lima Sopoaga bow out from the Highlanders with another Super Rugby winners medal? Music from bensound.com

They have under-achieved for a long time, so can the Blues surprise and shake up Super Rugby this year? Also, Happy Valentines Day :)

The 2016 Super Rugby champions look stronger than ever. Will they be able to win their second title in 2018? Music from bensound.com.

Matt, Ben, and Adam rejoice at the looming return of Super Rugby, and chat about the weekend's coming games, Fantasy Rugby, and a wee bit of Six Nations. Music from bensound.com

Will the worse side in Super Rugby over the last two seasons actually show something this year? Music from bensound.com.

Will the pride of Argentina turn around their abysmal from from last season? Music from bensound.com.

They are the reigning champions. Will the Crusaders be able to defend their title? Music from bensound.com.
