Global grizzly No 8 Harry Jones + hamstrung No 9 Brett McKay have weekly global rugby chats
Games of the Week 22 – the 8-9 Draft
Brought to you by Chasing the Sun 2 coming soon to RugbyPass TV - head to rugbypass.tv and sign up for FREE, to watch wherever you are in the rugby world!
Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones are back with the next Rugby Championship edition of their end-of-week offering, Games of the Week - where this week Harry is in the carpark of Heathrow Airport in London en route to Johannesburg, to see South Africa v New Zealand at Ellis Park, while Brett is setting his alarm for that blockbuster match, plus Argentina v Australia from La Plata. Two very big games, but for four very different reasons.
Which opposition players would you drop into your side right now? The boys conduct their own Test Rugby mock draft, 8-9 style, and ponder how to make South Africa and Australia better. Or New Zealand and Argentina worse, probably.
This week’s Games of the Week:
• South Africa v New Zealand in Johannesburg
• Argentina v Australia in La Plata
Plus, it’s Round 2 of the Pacific Nations Cup, and the NPC in NZ, and the Currie Cup in South Africa get a mention, too.

NPC has been quality this year Harry. Give it a whirl.
Started with the logo this time, always on the up and up 😂
we're celebrating the small wins..
@@BrettMcKaySport #youareayoutuber
@@DodgeyWizard 🤣
Great show...
I’m wondering if it won’t be SFM on the bench for a 7-1 rather than Williams, since SFM can cover most of the backline, while Kolbe can move to scrumhalf.
We won't be able to do a 7-1 with the lock list being very sort with eben, mustard, Lood, rg and moerat injured. Unless we bring vermeulen back at 8 louw move to 4 with nortje or psdt at 5 then we can look at van Rensburg on the bench with kwagga wiese marks steenekamp Vincent and wessels 1 utility back and that should be sfm. However with the injuries I don't see rassie taking that chance. Psdt is gonna burn out playing 80min match after match. Bring Hannekom is Ruan Venter, Pepshi, horn from the lions. Can even look at the 1 du preeze brother's, hugo Venter, Ackerman or even the lock from the cheethas that is on fire and the highest scoring lock in currie cup. He is really good and enforcer. His age might count against him. However, I believe we will be OK. Maybe this ''injury crisis'' is a bit of mind games🤷♀️
@@annettekolb3103 it is a crisis insofar as they’re into their third string locks, but it isn’t a crisis because the land produces a lot of people who can play lock! I’m not sure that they will go 7-1, but, if they do, they will likely start PSDT at lock, like you say, but I think they’ll start Janse van Rensburg. They may even start PSDT at flank, have Nortje and Janse van Rensburg at lock, and move PSDT to lock when the subs come on. With PSDT playing in Japan, he is fresher than any of the players playing in Europe, as their league is far less competitive and they play far fewer games. We definitely want to nurse him to the next World Cup, but you use your best player in the biggest games, and Saturday is one of the biggest this year. But this is all academic anyway, because Rassie will likely surprise us this afternoon, like he all too often does!
@kevinewert8546 I keep on checking to see if match day 23 have been released. I have this little knot in my stomach Eben will play. If the treat him like the did fourie during the world cup he might play. My other thing that is eating at me. You remember the video that got leaked😜😜😜😜I get the feeling it is the same with this injury rapport that was leaked to Sunday times. His in your head.....for sure mind games. I can't wait to see match day 23 line up however once nzl release their line up I see the real match day 23 squad released. Rassie is to good with these mind games that even bok supporters start thinking around mind games
@@annettekolb3103 they’ve released the team! Go to Megafoon Sport Rugby. They’ve got it up. 6-2, lots and lots of loose forwards!!
@@annettekolb3103 it’s worth watching the press conference. Rassie is in a very good mood.
Thank you Brett and Harry. Cheers from Durban.👏👏
I love Brett's editing monologue 😂😂😂
Not to mention the face that goes with it! #weareyoutubers
I think they lost 4 in 1949.
many Saffers listening to your pods, maybe be nice about the accents.
This channel should really have more subs
We're trying - it's doubled in the last 10 days! 😂
This Harry guy is an imbecile. Don't worry Matilda, you will be okay mate.
I agree with Jim on the pick and stick. He has a long run up until the home WC. Maybe this and next international season will have to be set aside for development.
Durban East haha
Listening to Jim was a treat... TX guys
The lions are coming, do you think losing that series could potentially sink Australian rugby and take them even lower than they already are and could take years to recover from. I am scared, i just do not see the wallabies getting better with the player pool they have.
The Wallabies are going to have to pick from OS.....if all available the wallabies can put a nasty looking team out there
Thanks guys love the podcast, very good points made all around
Thanks for watching Wesley!
Thank you guys for a great podcast. Cheers from Durban
Our pleasure!
Boks will not be happy with the tries left out on the park over the 2 tests.... For the Wallabies it's a building phase and it will take time to gt bk into the top 5 rankings.
Australia took out the T in test, I wonder if they planned it?
RE the uncontested scrums: The rules say that only if no other forward player is available may another player replace him. Aus sent off their Nr 2 and brought on Uru. And the scrums proceeded uncontested. This is BS.
Researching + will come back to you on this
What is the definition of “forward player”?
@@siasels6553 Front row player.
The second half was dismal. Compound errors, everything good followed by a stuff up. It's just embarrassing
Or do the All blacks lose so they can open the gates to get overseas players in the team
Ruan Nortje will be revealed as a useless lock that should have no future as a Bok. He is weak and is probably the worst lock in SA.
come on man hahah
Good chat and congrats on the 50th. The mix of the crowd is always an issue for the WBs due to migration as you pointed out Brett. BUT we need to convert the Oz Bok supporters to WB supporters when we play NZ and vice versa and when we play NH teams convert both camps to WB camp.
Harry im a longtime reader of your writings on the roar . starting now to get the big dogs on your show .Still found the accent a little bit weird.anyway keep going Biltongbek..keep going boss
@@mamoersebaas2654 - Harry: I crossed so many borders for so long that my speech patterns are becoming a mish mash of nothing 🤣🤣
Great guess speaker in Matt ..thanks Harry The Boks & DDP bringing the Perthfontein house down. they will feed off each other energy all the selection changes + weather ..GAME On
Great POD! Love your commentary!
you are tooooo kind!
great keep it up harry
Thank you, I will. ~ Harry (but with a stop watch)
Harry my man 👌
Harry Gone Wild.
Hannekom is the next Duane
He has a chance to be, if the stars align.
Matt's pronunciation is amazing!
So good.
Thanks Harry. Really enjoy your podcasts. Cheers from Durban.
Cheers BB!
Pronunciation a respect thing.Memorable quote Matt.
So true.
I know Daan. This tight five would've scrummed, mauled, line out together live against the best 2 scrums in the world 180 to 200 times with learnings from every session.... I believe people will see it on Saturday.
Such a good point.
Great to see you drawing in Matt Harry Great influence on your transmissions and additional weight… Great stuff‼️🥂💫👏 👊🔥 🪖
Love Matt's work and he is a super guy as well.
What a legend, Matt
We are lucky!
Argentina is getting smoked. 40 odd 10 im guessing.
Old Boys rugby 😂😂 should ye be worried about the nxt world at yer age.😂😂😂poor old farts.😂😂😂
There would have been more people in the crowd at Brisbane if someone did not report on the news that the venue was a sellout
But it was a sellout Leon. The crowd was 52,019 which is 99% of capacity...
Honestly Aus needs to allow foreign players back because the current cattle isnt enough, Skelton, the best lock in a generation, should of been at 80+ tests by now yet he wine and dines away in France. Then focus on your schools and getting them better with other code kids start playing rugby union which in a few years feeds into your system. Also I know its been tried but getting a lower competition representing all of Aus and to have a feeder system with best 4 going to super rugby. PS 4 high level teams is better, 5 was too much.
Good video guys. 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you 🤗
No 63 views this week lads you're doing an excellent job, great podcast!
Much appreciated!
The question whether test head coaches need an apprenticeship at that level is really interesting. Razor's (albeit short) stint and Martin Johnson's would suggest yes. But the one example of the opposite no one brings up is Joe Schmidt. Ireland head coach after 3-4 years as Leinster head coach with a comparable record to Robertson in terms of trophies per year
Love the show boys and yes I watch you on 8/9 & megafoon 😂 Fyi thank you Los Pumas for handing the championship 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Welcome, Annette!!
Thankyou!
Gd podcast mate.😂not an xcuse but losing 726 test match experience from world cup final team through 10 players moving on,it will take time to adjust for ab's 😊

Love it boys💯
Lets go
Hey Guyz your show is SUPERGREAT ‼️ Yes P E R T H (‘PE’) nxt, hey❓ Thanks Huge fun Fantastic spirit and views without malice kind of : ‘you’ve either got it, or you have’nt got it ‘mate’!!? 👀😳‼️ or ‘you are in trouble and in a jam, or you are not’ kind of thing So, nxt round •• Think Joe S AND Razor R have some extensive head scratching to go do these nxt few days thnx again 🪖
Thanks Kobus! The guys both cop it after losses, but Brett has had to do more of it lately!
What accent is that Harry???
They way Arg played, they are real contenders with their fixtures. The way Aus and Arg played, you would have to think that Arg will beat Aus in both tests. I think Arg will be really difficult to beat in Arg even for us(SA).
