Petone Rugby Pod

Big Ez and Flaxmere's Finest Hope re back to save the pod. Hack and Fridge are a bit more well behaved this week with Matua Ez on site. We discuss the massive haul of awards at the Wellington Rugby Award night last week including our very own Ez picking up Senior Volunteer of the year.

Big weekend of sport to unpack including the epic quarter finals at the RWC then preview a couple of big semi's...The rugby too! Who are we picking to advance?

Hack isn't too please with his Sea Eagles new logo, gear grinders seems to be fading. Few more weeks of The Off Season Podcast to go. 

She is grim pickings when you are left to Hack and Fridge for the weekly pod. This week Statler and Waldorf hold it down while the rest of the crew actually have things to do during the week.

Hack and Fridge dive into the quarter finals of the RWC, discuss Samoa's robbery as well as a quick squint over the NBA and other Villagers in action.

Short and sharp pod this week. Ezra is frothing with his Panthers picking up a 3 peat while the crew review NPC, including the Ranfurly loss and controversy as well as glancing over the final games of the RWC.

 

Huge Euge is away, but we'll give him a birthday pass this week.

 

Don't forget your 2 for $5, 4 for $10 aaaand 8 for $20 Jibbitz...

RWC and NRL continue to be strong themes in this weeks pod. The heartbreak of the Wahs loss to the Broncs, Wallabies go down to a jubilant Wales and a strong Springboks side loss to tournament co favourites Ireland.

 

Euge comes back with a quiz, to test the RWC knowledge. Ez is still away with the Schools teams so there is a continued lack of leadership in the crew. Hack does his best to lead us through.

 

Enjoy your local Saddle Chat and thanks to the tema at Pak n Save Petone for the continued support.

This pod has it all. 

Hack leads us into the plethora of sport we have been privileged to witness lately, namely The Wahs baby!! We chat about the state of rugby in NZ, results of the World Cup coming out of France and even delve into a bit of politics closer to home which makes for some grim listening. We celebrate some of those who picked up awards at Prize Giving over the weekend and glance over a couple of Fridge's Gear Grinders.

Missing some sensibility from Ez and Euge - Hope tries her best to control the other two.

Off Season is well and truly here...

We also preview the massive final vs Marist Saint Pats this weekend up at NZCIS and get their thoughts on Women's Rugby in general.
