It’s the biggest week of the Super Rugby calendar and Scotty has eloped to Rio to report on the Olympics along with every other sports broadcaster in New Zealand, leaving the podcast in the hands of Rugby Pass editor Hayden Donnell. He is joined by writers Calum Henderson and Madeleine Chapman for a muddled conversation about why it’s maybe better if the Hurricanes don’t win and a contemplation of life after Super Rugby.

I was worried that my Chiefs were going to go the same way but things finally clicked. Putting all those All Black forwards on a 6/2 bench has proven very effective too - could be a blueprint for Razor against the likes of France and South Africa.

Esp when you have 100 cappers like Lawes and George as alternatives.
