8/9 Rugby

Great Rugby Chats continue every week, @BMcSport joined by familiar guests for the same banter & insight

And on Substack! Great writers you’ve known forever!

[8/9 Rugby @89_Rugby]

Whose World Cup is better?

What's possibly confusing about league Chiefs playing at the same venue as rugby Chiefs?

And when did Michael Cheika become at one with everything?

@geoffParkes9 addresses all in The Wrap, only at 8/9 Rugby on Substack: https://t.co/i2ut6zbrwK

[8/9 Rugby @89_Rugby]

@HuwTindall @GeoffParkes9 "Why is it so?" was the question of our childhood!

[8/9 Rugby @89_Rugby]

The Wallabies have now copped two Bledisloe thrashings from the All Blacks, and questions will be rightly asked as to why.

In The Wrap, @geoffparkes9 argues they need to stop foolishly trying to out-NZ New Zealand...

Great to have James Slipper back on the pod, sharing insights on the Bledisloe result, getting on with it for the Nations Championship, and his Brumbies coaching internship with @bmcsport.

Lessons learned for both winners and runners-up?

Our NZ scribe Lawrence Mulvaney liked what he saw from the All Blacks, and can see green shoots for the Wallabies, too.

And, he wants the TMO more involved!

Some 👀 stats from Bled 2 show where the Wallabies got things all wrong. On a day when Luke Pearce, RA and the All Blacks post-match, got things right... https://t.co/qcTFhtglKU

[8/9 Rugby @89_Rugby]

A month ago in Perth, the Wallabies led the Springboks 42-17 before all the chaos.

Now, against the All Blacks, they've shelled 14 tries in a week. @bmcsport asks how it's all fallen apart so suddenly..

[8/9 Rugby @89_Rugby]

Will it be better after sleeping on it? Almost certainly not.

The All Blacks handed the Wallabies another #BledisloeCup thumping, and @bmcsport + @hulabulajim another actual 8/9 Rugby Post-Mortem..

The All Blacks bounced back in Bledisloe Cup week last Saturday.

Is it the Wallabies turn this weekend?

We've checked*, and @steve_l15's #AUSvNZL guide is officially the most comprehensive preview anywhere on the internet.

How did All Blacks fans view the first Bledisloe Cup Test?

Our resident Kiwi scribe Lawrence Mulvaney shares how he saw the Test, from his Eden Park seat. And offers some improvements for this weekend, too..

[8/9 Rugby @89_Rugby]

It really is the hope that kills you.

After the Wallabies let perhaps their best ever Eden Park opportunity slip, @bmcsport has earmarked a couple of crucial moments that really stung..

[8/9 Rugby @89_Rugby]

The lessons learned from South Africa?

@geoffparkes9 takes to The Wrap to highlight how the All Blacks definitely did, and how the Wallabies might have as well - just not in a good way.

Bledisloe Cup Post-Mortem after the 1st Test in Auckland

@bmcsport joined by @hulabulajim, and it's fair to say this one wasn't much fun.

Plenty for the Wallabies to turn around in a week now...

[Brett McKay @BMcSport]

My thanks once again to the great @HulaBulaJim - it's never fun to launch into a live @89_Rugby Post-Mortem after a big loss, but there's certainly plenty to talk about for the Wallabies coming from it.

Replay on 8/9 YouTube now, and on pods now too..
