    Does Dave Rennie get a passing grade? | Pick & Go 2026 | Ep22
    Jul 7 2026
    Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go. The All Blacks were finally back in action. The new look team were playing under a new regime, in a new competition against the old foe the French. One offence the ABs looked almost unstoppable, but on defence the team looked leaky, so what grade does Dave Rennie and the team get for their opening game. Of course, as mentioned, the Nations Championship is a new competition so how do the panel feel it has gone, and what improvements could be made to the comp going forward?

    Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go. The Super Rugby trophy may already be collecting dust in the Hurricanes trophy cabinet as the players move switch the Super Rugby jersey for the one in Black. That’s right! It is international season once again, and there is a new competition in town. The Nations Championship is a new comp that will bring the best nations together in a bid to add a little more stakes to the international scene. Will it take off or be a flop? Piri and Paul discuss. Of course, no matter what you think about the new comp, you can’t help but be excited by the sight of the ABs being back in action against a French team that has a history of causing the Kiwis problems. How will the international season go? Find out what the panel has to say on the Pick & Go.

    The Greatest Super Rugby Team Is… | Pick & Go 2026 | Ep20
    Jun 23 2026
    Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go. Super Rugby has a new champion, and the Hurricanes won it in impressive fashion. The game was only ever in doubt prior to kick off because once the game got started it was one sided from the off. We look back and breakdown just how the final was won. Can the Chiefs, who again have lost a final, recover? Before we sign off for a couple of weeks, we have to ask, “Are the current Hurricanes the greatest ever Super Rugby team?” the answer, especially from one person in the panel, might surprise you.

    3 Winners, 1 Loser | Pick & Go 2026 | Ep18
    Jun 9 2026
    Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go. This week we look back at all the playoff action as the finals are confirmed to be all Kiwi teams. However, while appearing the same, all is not equal as the Blues are the only team in the playoffs who have got there off a loss. Is the lucky loser format a good or a bad thing for the competition? We start making some bold predictions about who will be taking out the comp, well is it bold to predict the Hurricanes at this point? Lastly, with a major international footballing tournament about to kick off, we compare Super Rugby teams with international football teams.

    Jun 2 2026
    Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go. The playoff picture has been painted, framed and hung on the wall, so when we take a step back and admire the image what do our panel see? Do they see the Blues making a playoff run? The Crusaders retaining? Or do the Chiefs finally conquer the mountain? Next we are looking 10 years into the future, Rugby’s future. What will the game look like in ten years in NZ? Has the black jerset lost its allure to young fans and if so how do we get it back? Speaking of the future, we look ahead to the massive clashes this weekend as the playoffs for this year’s Super Rugby begin.

    May 26 2026
    Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go. Today we are talking about Home and Away. No, not the classic Australian soap, but should the playoffs take inspiration from other comps and be home and away, with an aggregate total tries deciding the overall contest? We talk more about NPC and should we be looking to privatise the comp and bring in multiple leagues that would allow for promotion and relegation. We breakdown all of last week’s fixtures and try to figure out how the playoff picture will look ahead of the final round of Super Rugby regular season games. Lastly you may have seen we have a new couch in the studio and someone isn’t a fan of it.

    May 19 2026
    Welcome back to another week of the Pick & Go. We are two weeks away from the playoffs and with some teams pretty much a lock in for the playoffs, is this a time to start resting players or is momentum too important. We breakdown all the action from the weekend. Can anyone stop the Hurricanes? Are the Chiefs setting themselves up to be the bridesmaid again this year? With Moana Pasifika sadly leaving the comp next year, we wonder how will the comp look next year? We read out your comments in response to who will be the next ABs captain, and there are come choice words.
