Show by Mark Morgan and Tony O'Sullivan
The second leg of the Nations Championship is underway, and this time the Southern Hemisphere boys have headed north to test their wares against the best the top half of the planet has to offer.All in pursuit of the prestigious Hemisphere Crown. Yes, that's actually what they're calling it. A trophy awarded to whichever half of the globe is better at rugby. Riveting stuff.The funny thing is, the two best teams in the world right now appear to be New Zealand and South Africa, but they can't even meet in the final because apparently geography is more important than rugby. Brilliant.Anyway, some rugby was played, and naturally, we watched it so we could talk absolute shit about it.🇮🇪 Ireland vs Argentina: Some thought this might be a close contest. Ireland clearly didn't get the memo and gave Los Pumas a proper hiding.🇿🇦 South Africa vs Italy: The Springboks absolutely demolished the Azzurri 66–7. A massacre of Roman proportions. Not since the Visigoths sacked Rome in 410 AD have the Italians taken a beating quite like it. And even then, the Visigoths probably showed more mercy.🇳🇿 All Blacks vs Scotland: The All Blacks returned to their northern holiday home, Murrayfield, where they've never lost to the Scots. Scotland showed plenty of fight, but the men in black (and white) eventually got the job done. A particularly emotional victory following the tragic passing of much-loved All Blacks head of security Logan Cadwallader. A massive effort from the boys under incredibly difficult circumstances.🏴 Wales vs Japan: Possibly the most entertaining game of the weekend! An actual contest, some decent rugby, and Wales managed to get the chocolates. Good on ya, Wales. You needed that.🇫🇷 France vs Fiji: The French got the job done, but what the hell is happening to Fiji? With Jake White's South African influence, the Flying Fijians are starting to look suspiciously like the Bulls. Structure? Discipline? Tactical rugby? Where's the glorious, chaotic Fijian madness we all fell in love with?!🏴 England vs Australia: We thought this might be the game of the weekend. We were wrong. Very wrong. The Wallabies were absolute dog's balls, and England barely had to get out of second gear. Spare a thought for the poor Australians who set their alarms for the middle of the night to watch that steaming pile of shit. Although, judging by the performance, most of the Wallabies appeared to have stayed in bed themselves.So who's actually going to win this thing? Is the Southern Hemisphere still the undisputed king of rugby, or can the northerners pull something out of their arses?We dissect the games, question the competition, make some questionable predictions, and, as always, get thoroughly distracted talking a whole lot of nonsense.A massive thanks to our sponsor, MaxLife Batteries, for keeping the beers flowing.
