A Wale of a Time 01.12.2025

It’s the season finale and although it was outside the official test window, players were missing and thor almost returned, cardiff still delivered a spectacle. We unpack the win over wales, how to properly dispose of your thumbs & why the welsh can be more proud than the scots. the urc returns, the champions & challenge cups are here but not before we hand out the end of year prestigious-...

Scrumptious 24.11.2025

The Bok scrum didn’t just dominate, it devoured Ireland, shoved them into reverse, and left Aviva looking like a demolition site. Six cards flying around like wedding confetti, Daan officially becoming Dublin’s newest nightmare, and Malcolm Marx casually collecting World Player of the Year like it’s a loyalty card reward. We break down the carnage, the chaos, the cards, and the class from another...

Down a Man, Up a Win 16.11.2025

Another red, another grind, another Bok win. We take you through it all. England swung the chariot straight over the All Blacks, Ireland found their groove, while Los Pumas turned a 21-0 into a ‘hold my beer’ situation. Superbru was tight and now all eyes turn to Dublin, a place Rassie has yet to conquer.

Stunned De France 09.11.2025

14 men, 100 for Siya, 50 for Rassie... and a whole lot of paint on the pitch. The Bokke stunned De France in Parys, turning a red card nightmare into a masterpiece in the revenge match. The All Blacks kept Scotland in check, Italy stunned the Wallabies, and England continue their run. Tight Superbru picks, powerful scrums and top class finishing round out the weekend.

Weekend of Revenge 03.11.2025

The Autumn Nations Series came out swinging, the Boks, All Blacks, and England all dishing out a bit of payback. From yellow cards to serious injuries, no one left unscathed. We chat Helios Fire joining the squad, Punt-it Bingo heating up, and the Wessels saga heading for court. The Bokke now turn their sights to Paris, where Siya runs out for his 100th, you know that’s going to be special.

Autumn is Coming 27.10.2025

Ronnie & Nick are back and fired up as the end of year tour is set to kick off. We look at the Bok squad and what the tour goals will be. Delving into the weekends fixtures, it looks like there may be a debut or 2, Some bold predictions and an even more unpredictable Dr. Erasmus. we also delve into the URC so far and where the teams stand ahead of the international break.

Back-to-Back Baby 06.10.2025

The points were the difference for the Bokke — and our superest of Bru’s. I wouldn’t have wanted to be a brandy in London this weekend as the Bokke got the job done at Twickersfontein. Could step you in a shoebox, sure, but maybe it’s time for some rest? We rate the teams’ performances in the Championship and look ahead to the end-of-year tour and all the action still to come.

The Fein-est-Berg Mngomezulu 28.09.2025

Plenty of fireworks in Durban, plenty of ice packs after. The physios were busier than the scoreboard, Ronnie reckons we’re running out of ankles as we head into the final round of the Championship. Eden Park stayed locked up, Pantoffel got the big 150 and the URC came back with a bang. The Bokke made a big statement, Can this team be the first to go back-to-back?

Ek Weet Nie 22.09.2025

From Rassie’s roulette wheel of selections to the table that’s still anyone’s game. The only thing we can say for sure is ek weet nie. With 2 rounds to play, the Boks face Los Pumas in a clash that could shape the title race, predicting what comes next feels impossible. We celebrate the Griquas, look ahead to a stacked URC & the Women's World Cup Final.

Predictably Unpredictable 15.09.2025

The Boks put the W in Wellington, with Damian Willemse turning in a career performance, Manie and Siya shutting down the noise, and Rassie sneaking a Hooker onto the wing. Meanwhile in Sydney, Los Pumas held off a late Wallaby surge, but somehow it’s Australia sitting top of the log. From Wellington to Sydney, A weekend that left fans buzzing, coaches scratching heads, and the log wide open.

Shuffled Not Shaken 09.09.2025

No easy wins, no freebies, and plenty of HIAs. The Boks have hit shuffle on the match 23 after the Auckland slip, but shaken? Not a chance. With new combinations set to be tested, all eyes are on how the green & gold bounce back. Meanwhile, Wilson chose courage over comfort, and with that one decision, the days of making up the numbers are over for the Wallabies.

High Balls & Higher Stakes: Boks v All Blacks at Eden Park 30.08.2025

A Punt-it & Kick On Rugby Collab The Boks haven’t won at Eden Park since 1937, is this the game to break the curse?

Tit for Tat 26.08.2025

It’s one win each after the first two rounds of the Rugby Champs, Superbru picks are in tatters, and the tournament is wide open. No second-half déjà vu for the Boks in the Cape, while the All Blacks will want to forget theirs as Los Pumas finally shook the monkey off their back. And as for the Wallabies? Write them off at your peril.

Altitude Sickness 20.08.2025

It was not a weekend for us and our fellow South Africans. not one Wallaby got tied down in Joburg mate. the Rgby Champs got underway and didn’t skip a beat. we take a look at where the Bokke can improve, the Aussies showing that history means nothing, the All Blacks breaking hearts in Argentina, and the consistently inconsistent Los Pumas.

Feeling Blue? 17.06.2025

Die Blou Bull weet nie van??? Heading home empty-handed again ... 3 URC finals, 3 L’s, and not even a line break to brag about. Nienaber’s Leinster defence shut the gates, and the Blue Bulls are, well... feeling blue. Bath end a 29-year drought in style (cheers, Johan van Graan), and the Boks trim the squad to 45 as the international season looms. We break it all down and look ahead to what’s next...

Tissues Anyone? 10.06.2025

Strap in, folks! It was semi-final weekend where Leinster ran riot (six tries!) while Glasgow forgot how to score. Bulls beat Sharks but needed three yellows to do it, talk about a breakdown boss job! Mapimpi and Willie showed class, but the Boks-in-waiting might already be dreaming of green jerseys. We look ahead to a final at Croke Park where Leinster’s rucks last about as long as a double Brand...

Still Kicking 03.06.2025

Unpacking the URC quarters, we dive into a Durban shootout of a different kind (we’re not bluffing). Viking sweat, déjà vu in the Storm, cheeky winks, and Bradley Davids’ big moment. Semi-final tickets up for grabs as we head to Loftus for an all-South African affair. Can the Warriors keep their crown? Tune in for the chat.

Finger on the Pulse 27.05.2025

From A Rec to rugby royalty – Bath rise under Van Graan to lift the Challenge Cup, while Bordeaux banter their way to a first-ever Champions Cup crown. We break down the finals, preview the URC quarters, drop some dad jokes, dissect the 2027 World Cup draw, and serve up Superbru tips that will trigger the TMO.

Rants & Red Card's 21.05.2025

Is Ronnie popular in Germany, or is his humor just too advanced for the land of efficiency and bratwurst? We try to find out while recapping a wild final URC round where all the South African teams won. The Stormers cruised past Cardiff, Bulls slayed the Dragons, Lions edged Ospreys, and the Sharks hit snooze before the alarms went off. With home quarter-finals for the Bulls and Sharks, we ask: ar...

The Heimlich Maneuver 07.05.2025

Leinster choke (again) as the Saints go marching in, Bordeaux dump out Toulouse, and suddenly the Top 14 isn't looking so top. Lyon edge Racing in a slugfest that leaves Faz seeing stars, just in time to add spice to the looming Lions squad announcement. Bath take care of Edinburgh to book a final against Lyon, and with chokers, chokeholds, and kissing cousins in the mix, this episode has more twi...

That's not the Castres 16.04.2025

We recap a wild Champions Cup quarterfinals weekend—Leinster cruise, Castres disappear after halftime, and Bulls discipline costs them against Edinburgh. Toulouse edge Toulon, and Bath outmuscle Gloucester. In the URC, it’s the Biltong Series decider as Everitt eyes an SA clean sweep, the Bulls limp into Munster, and the Stormers reload. Back home UCT lift the Varsity Cup, BB overtakes Morne in Su...

In the Pocket 09.04.2025

This week, we’re all about the 10's. From Sam Prendergast’s rising stock at Leinster to Marcus Smith’s magic (and mayhem) for Quins. We dive into the big-names lighting up Europe. Dan Biggar’s swansong in Toulon, Finn Russell fracturing things at Bath, Jack Crowley’s BMT, and Pollie's big move. Who’s thriving, who’s surviving, and who’s quietly waiting in the pocket? Could Owen Farrell, still be i...

Do Something Crazy 18.03.2025

The Standard Tighthead and fishing with Felix, its onwards and upwards from here. Ronnie & Nick dive into the 6 Nations as Ireland slump to 3rd, Les Bleus got the job done, and England proved Nick very wrong. We cast our ears back to the pre-season predictions, the top performers and the My Fok Tjom moments

There's It 12.02.2025

Nick’s eating his words faster than a prop at the buffet as England do the dirty to the French. Ireland make it 11 against the Scots and Italy ensure the Welsh nosedive continues (Cheers Gats). The Bulls exorcised their Cape Town demons, the serious Malherbe & the awkward Saffa.

6/2 or 6 Who? 05.02.2025

Well spirited copy cats with backs against the wall as the 6 Nations got underway. The dark horse, the flying Frenchmen & the Dublin All Blacks were the talk of the town. we also take a look ahead to the upcoming North v South derby, round 2 of the 6 Nations and the latest news.
