Two Cents gets Distracted - A Rugby Podcast
Legendary Rugby YouTuber Mark from Two Cents Rugby breaks down all of the happenings of the great game of Rugby while Tony from Distracted Sports tries to keep up.
Bathe in our TEARS - Two Cents Gets Distracted
We know why you’re here, and we don’t blame you. This week, we tumble headfirst into the pit of despair that is All Blacks fandom after the Springboks dished out a pumpings in New Zealand’s graveyard, Sky Stadium in Wellington.
There’s plenty of wallowing, but we also manage to lift our heads long enough to cover the excellent clash between Argentina and the Wallabies, and check in on all the action from the Women’s World Cup.

All Blacks Fortress Stays Shut, Boks Left Knocking - 2CGD
An immediate game reaction pod this week. The most hyped game of the year delivered, the All Blacks held strong to keep their 30-year fortress intact and gave Ardie Savea the perfect 100th test celebration, while the Boks were left muttering about what could’ve been. Over in Townsville, the Wallabies played the role of international rugby’s rom-com kings once again, pulling off another ridiculous comeback against the Pumas. And we talk BS and Rugby whilst smiling and slightly drunk.
Grab a beer and Enjoy.
Fortress Eden vs the World Champs
The hype is off the charts! The World Champion Springboks are storming into Eden Park, the All Blacks’ fortress, where no one has won since 1994 (back before we had pubes). Will the Boks finally break the curse, or will the All Blacks once again prove Eden Park is basically Hogwarts with goalposts?
We’ll also look ahead to the Wallabies vs Pumas showdown, dive into the Women’s Rugby World Cup, check in on the Pacific Nations Cup, and give the NPC the airtime it deserves. The hype is real.

The worst AB backline performance EVER!
The All Blacks were a flaming dumpster fire this week, and as loyal fans we are disgusted. Razor’s backline looked like they’d just met in the carpark before kickoff, and Argentina gleefully ran riot in front of delirious Buenos Aires fans.
Over in South Africa, the Wallabies gave the Boks a proper scare of potentially going back to back… until James O’Connor’s boots decided they were made of Play-Doh.

The Comeback of the Century!!
Wallabies rise from the dead at Ellis Park in the greatest Aussie comeback since Crocodile Dundee 2. The Boks are stunned, the crowd’s crying into their Castle Lagers, and rugby Twitter explodes. Meanwhile, the All Blacks quietly handle Argentina with all the excitement of filing a tax return.

Wallabies Weather the Storm, Lions Left a bit Damp
We break down the Wallabies' epic victory over the British and Irish Lions in a stormy showdown that even Thor couldn't ignore. Plus, we chat about the newly announced All Blacks squad—spoiler alert: everyone's injured, but there are some exciting new faces on the horizon. And to top it all off, get ready for a bit of Baywatch!

The Battle of MCG-dor & One Call to Rule Them All
Only one game this weekend, but oh boy, it had everything. The Wallabies hosted the British & Irish Lions at the MCG in a test match so spicy it you'll feel it coming out.
An instant classic? Definitely. But it’ll mostly be remembered for one Giant Call. Lions fans are calling it fine. Wallabies fans are still trying to locate their jaws on the floor.
We unpack the madness, point fingers, praise heroes, and as always, talk a lot of BS.
Grab a beer and enjoy.
Big thanks for the beers ht...
Lions bite but don't Roar, but are the Wallabies done?
The Lions drew first blood in Brisbane, taking the 1st Test over the Wallabies, but did they leave points (and polish) out on the paddock? The All Blacks notched another win against an understrength French side, but with more dirt-trackers in the mix this time, are we building depth or just delaying the big questions? Meanwhile, the Boks put Georgia away with ease... but was it convincing, or just clinical?
Join us as we dissect a weekend of almosts, maybes, and "meh-that’ll-do" performances from the big boys. Expect opinions, overreactions, and the odd tangent (as always).
...Rassie’s Rascals, Kiwi Clicks, and a Welsh Unicorn
Normal service resumes! The All Blacks knock over a depleted French outfit, the Boks batter Italy (with a side of Rassie’s signature shithousery), and the Lions dish out a thumping to the AU-NZ mash-up team in a match only a mother could love. Oh—and Wales actually won a game. That’s 1 win from their last 20. Momentum, baby.
Grab a beer and Enjoy!
The Weekend of Wobbly Giants - Two Cents Gets Distracted
It was the week of almost-upsets, nearly-moments, and big teams looking suspiciously wobbly. We try to figure out what the heck happened and talk a lot of BS in the process.

Crusaders Win, Lions Lose, and Mark Fights the Internet
This week, much to our dismay, the Crusaders have done it again—another Super Rugby title, this time over the Chiefs. Meanwhile, Los Pumas pulled off a cracking win against the Lions in a game that had everything, and Razor Robertson has named his first All Blacks squad... complete with a few eyebrow-raisers.
Plus, there’s the usual helping of BS, distractions galore, and Mark has a therapeutic moment with some delightfully grumpy YouTube commenters.
Leinster Lift It, Crusaders Crush Us, Chiefs Charge On
Leinster are champions of the URC after a composed, clinical performance over a Bulls side that just didn’t bring the fire. In Super Rugby, the Crusaders crush our dream (again) of the Blues pulling off a miracle, reminding us what finals footy really looks like.
And the Chiefs? They take care of business against the Brumbies in a no-nonsense semi-final display. Plus, we serve up our usual helping of sideline nonsense — bold takes, bad analogies, and a bit of rugby therapy for long-suffering Blues fans.

Blues Shine, Canes Collapse, and We Somehow Made It to 100
Well, somehow… against all odds, common sense, and good taste, we’ve made 100 of these little buggers! Celebrate our 100th episode as we welcome some very special contributors, shout into the rugby void, and do what we do best: talk shit and Rugby.
The Blues give us a reason to smile (finally), the Hurricanes absolutely soil the linen, and Super Rugby and the URC wobble their way to the sharp, terrifying end of the season.
Massive thanks to all of you legends for watching, listening, and enabling this strange audio experiment to keep going.

Ardie Savea: Rugby God Mode Activated - 2CGD
This week, Ardie Savea ascended to another plane of existence—dragging Moana Pasifika (and possibly time and space itself) to a mind-melting upset over the Blues. \
The Hurricanes and Highlanders gave us a thriller, and meanwhile, the Force and Waratahs officially waved goodbye to finals footy like that one mate who RSVP’d “maybe” but was never coming.Plus,
Tony stares into the crystal ball (or maybe a pint glass?) for another round of Tony’s European Post-Match Predictions.

Naming Lions and Ruffling Feathers - 2CGD S4 EP15
The Lions squad is named, the Wallabies are waiting, and somehow we end up talking about... fapping? Rugby's a weird sport—and we make it even weirder.
Tony unloads some explosive thoughts about the Lions' that'll make him some new friends up north. We dive into the Lions tour, cover all the Super Rugby, and return with rugby’s fastest-growing game show: “Who Won These Games That Have Already Been Played!?”
Grab a beer and enjoy
The Annual Leinster Letdown
Leinster bottled it again at the business end of a major tournament—at this point, it's basically tradition. Bordeaux took the chocolates from Toulouse, and Super Rugby delivered a rare treat: actual high-stakes footy. No more everyone-gets-a-medal playoffs—this round mattered.

Beavers LOWER LEVEL Backlash - 2CGD S4 Ep 13
Well, Stephen Donald kicked the hornet's nest this week—and naturally, we dive straight in. Not because we care... but because we're after those sweet, sweet angry clicks.
We also break down the latest in Super Rugby, chat about the Wallabies' shiny new coach, and fire up everyone’s favourite game: “Can Tony predict European rugby results... after they’ve happened?”
Grab a beer, lower your expectations, and enjoy
I Guess That’s Why They Call It the Blues… (And All the Other Rugby Too!)
Yep, more rugby happened. And like Thanos, the Crusaders' dominance snapped our hopes once again—inevitable pain, folks. We break down all the action from the round and then jump into YouTube’s fastest-growing game show: “Can Tony Predict the Winners of European Rugby... After It’s Already Happened?”

Well, more rugby happened, but the GOLF!!! - 2CGD S4 EP11
It’s another week of domestic rugby – oh yes it is, and yes, we talk about it! But stick around, because we wrap things up with a massive golf catch-up, diving into Rory’s epic win at the Masters. Other random topics include, STD's the Great Wall of China, and Ancient Macedonian battles

Super Tight Super Rugby and Super Defense Free Champions Cup
Ohh, and we're back for another week of talking shit and talk balls,,, rugby balls that is. This week, we cover all the Super Stuff but also cast a judgmental eye over the stuff coming down from the north.

Wallabies looking Lions Ready, All Blacks looking Off the Pace
This week on the pod: Tony cracks open a real beer to celebrate finishing the Hard 75 challenge – finally!
We dive into the Aussies making serious noise in Super Rugby and ask the big question: could they actually find success in this year’s Lions series? Spoiler alert... it’s more likely than you think.
Plus, the usual healthy dose of BS.

Super Rugby Keeps Banging out Bangers, but Tony forgets most of it.
Well, well, well—fancy seeing you again! You must be a big 2CGD fan because this is what we call, in the business, a slow week in the season.
But I tell you what—if you’re after a podcast where the hosts talk shite for at least the first 20 minutes, and then one of them forgets most of the key events from the weekend’s games… you’re in for a treat! (You may also have a brain injury.)
