No JK or Goldie sounds like the breakdown Listened to the audience well done

[@craigmason6656]

Much better lineup on the panel. Keep it going this way please.

[@DavidLimofLimReport]

Ermm did anyone else also not see anything at the end? Was that blank?

[@jakobthelibrarycard6261]

Bit of downtime.

[@TrueBlueKangaroo]

If theres not a 20 minute segment about Dmac, i might riot.

Aaron Cruden is articulate and insightful. He has a future in commentary if he wants it.

[@tuttyusbuttyus]

Geez, JB looks just like his father. Probably the most out of him, SB & BB.

[@KernowekTim]

Kane too. Kane would've made the 100 easy if he didn't get hurt. Kane was a real hard bugger, like his Dad was on the field.

[@Conrad-uj1df]

Love listening to Batts and A Cruden so professional love it Chels awesome

[@SpacedExplorers]

Don't bring the others back. These 3 are much better. Get rid of the trash before it stinks up the place. Cruden is an underrated analyst.

[@davsavchav]

Ardie and Julian as the All Blacks 7 and 12 at some point would be awesome

Hey as a Blues the Crusaders 9 and 10 need time . but seriously Chiefs look likely to be like the Blues are hard to beat this year But I was happy to watch Tahs beat the Crusaders I believe the Aussie teams aren't far and the brothers are the Pacific Islands Wow they look great....

Hot take, I enjoy watching JK and Goldie on this show 😂

[@nick_86]

Please don't ever have Goldie and JK back. Good to see Eminem on board.

[@rexsticker]

Rush defence, no room to tackle properly, upper body collision inevitable. The rules should find a way to put space between the attack and defence. It was started by the northern hemisphere to nullify the Australasian running game. Shame.

[@otagogold2236]

Totally agree

[@jakobthelibrarycard6261]

'The rules should find a way to put space between the attack and defence.' The offside line? Rush defences tend to leave space directly in behind to be exploited also out wide. The ABs look best when they pick and go because there is usually only the 9 covering directly behind the ruck and the rush has to continually trot backwards to stay onside.

[@Todd63790]

15 Highlanders = Best Fullback so far

[@jacobh1867]

They can't try and shove Aupiki down people's throats hard enough, and yet when the NPC rolls around this show (and the NZR) completely ignore it.

[@jakobthelibrarycard6261]

The women's matches barely got 10 minutes. Surely it's reasonable to review and discuss their games too.

[@crippenmusungu5774]

I have daughters whom I'd want to play rugby probably in future and for this show to deny airtime to women's rugby is kinda disappointing and not only this show but most rugby shows which should be a concern to world rugby.

[@KernowekTim]

Looks like you've ditched the 'boys', girl!😉. Great craic! Enjoy it while you can; 'cause; They'll be back🤓😏and Mils👍. At least they made it past the 1/4's eh!😉😆👍👊🏴‍☠☘

[@wiremuboyce4281]

We don't need to stoop down to overseas teams levels, let im play in nz

[@icetroll734]

Why would the Northern moaner be the best in the world? Watch a 10 mins compilation of his best moments and try to find a tackle on him. He is probably the best in the North, maybe, but if they can't tackle, what does that mean?? When has he done it ever against Southern opposition in WC? Just put that #1 idea on ice until he's found out or makes me eat my hat. Shoving a stick thin aussie dressed in green out doesn't mean anything

[@jormundgandr88]

After The Chiefs lost to The Reds this aged well....

[@wiremuboyce4281]

Jordan petaia will be alright he will be back

[@wayneblackwwell6439]

Couldn't get over how many spectators were wearing green thought the weekend. Super Round is just what Rugby needs to promote the sport, highlighting an empty stadium...

[@yE6sniping]

10x better without JK and Goldie..Aotearoa rugby pod should replace this show.

[@ataimd]

Yea much improved....I don't know why they don't segment the show though. I think it would be much more interactive and help the conversations not to drift. Like have a coach killer section and a key laws spot, top 3 tries of the weekend, a bench press or bronco comp run throughout the year, stuff to make it more interesting and fun. Four people talking around a desk gets boring after about 10 mins. Just my thoughts tho. And yea I love Aotearoa Rugby pod too!

[@enzed2708]

Yeah they need a full panel of all women..

[@DownUnderWarboss]

World Rugby does not have a fan centric approach. The NRL is so much better. Essentially Twice the amount of ball in play (32 minutes vs 55 minutes) so the data says: twice amount of: passes, tackles, offloads, attacking kicks, cut out passes, one on one battles and feats of rugby being played between two teams. Not to mention they have around the same amount of handling errors with twice the amount of ball in play! Very embarrassing for rugby. Union can only appeal to emotions, because they dont have the data to back up what they are saying.
