Two Cents gets Distracted - A Rugby Podcast

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.

Grab a beer and Enjoy!

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 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.

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.

Bordeaux take the dub against the Saints in the Champions Cup final, Moana Pacifica cop a hiding from the Chiefs, and whispers of a Club World Cup start swirling.

We Talk about it all and also OTHER STUFF.

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.

Massive Thankyou, the man, the myth, the...

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!?”

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.

Grab a beer and enjoy!

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

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?”

Grab a beer and enjoy!

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

Grab a beer and enjoy!

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.

Grab a beer and enjoy!

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.

The Six Nations concluded in the weekend. Three teams still had a shot, but the French came out on top!! This is a podcast where we discuss those games and other games and talk a tonne of BS!

A massive amount of Rugby during the weekend, and we talk about running. We then eventually get to the rugby, though.

It's all happening. Six Nations is getting super tasty with one and Super Rugby is still producing Bangers.

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.)

In this episode, we dive into England’s late victory over France, Ireland’s comfortable win against Scotland, and Wales hitting rock bottom with a 14th straight loss, this time to Italy. As always, we talk a bit of rugby, a bit of nonsense, and yes—we even squeezed in a run before hitting record.

We also preview the 6 Nations and go over every team's chances or lack of them in Wales's case.

This episode is particularly dick-heavy, to be honest, so maybe earmuff the little ones if they're wondering about it. The Saffas lost, and the Abs won, so why are we Kiwis still not happy?

So it's another week, not a lot of rugby to review so this week is a bit more of a preview of what's to come.

This is a take on the podcast, as we screwed the recording the first time around, so if we're a bit off the boil, that's why. This weekend it was a great time to be South African, we break it all down.

Well, it was a crappy old time for Abs fans in Welly, and we're not too thrilled. What made it worse was the fact the Springboks looked incredible in Brisbane. Dark days indeed.

Well, to be honest, other than the ladies at the Olympics, the rugby world has been a bit quiet. But never fear—some serious action is on the way, and we preview it. Boy, oh boy, what a fun time!

We're back after an unplanned absence for a week. Thanks for noticing! This week we unpack the 7s at the blooming Olympics, ask whether Dupont is really that good and then Tony goes on a rant about our friends in South Africa.
