    The Halfway Stage | Pick & Go 2026 | Episode 9
    Apr 7 2026
    Welcome back to the Pick and Go podcast. It was a quiet weekend of Super Rugby, but it was still filled with plenty of action. We continue to assist Dave Rennie with his first team of the season and we have to say we are creating a pretty strong team, so don’t be surprised if the AB’s selectors are taking notes. We preview the upcoming weekend of games and who will have benefitted the most from having a break this weekend, or which team would have had one too many chocolate eggs? Or course, Carlos Ulberg is going for the title this weekend and so we have a spicy UFC themed question and it has us thinking did some figures pick the wrong sport when they could have had a possible rugby career?

  • Saying Goodbye to Apollo Projects Stadium | Pick & Go 2026 | Ep8

    Saying Goodbye to Apollo Projects Stadium | Pick & Go 2026 | Ep8
    Mar 31 2026
    Welcome back to the Pick and Go podcast. It is an end of an era as we say goodbye to Apollo Projects Stadium. Despite its relatively short life, the stadium has given us plenty of memories. The question now becomes, what should happen to the stadium now the Crusaders move to their new home. While it might be a quiet week ahead for Super Rugby, with only 3 games being played, there is still a lot to talk about. The Canes look to be scoring points for fun, but is it fair that they have only really played easy beats, and are yet to face a series of tough games or are they the best team in the competition. The Chiefs once again looked sloppy, but this week got the job done, but are they a title contender or have they taken their foot of the gas. Lastly, all eyes will be looking at the blank piece of paper that is Dave Rennie’s team sheet. We try and figure out just what that first team will look like once team naming roles around.

We turn our attention to last week’s Super Rugby games and wonder where has it gone wrong for the Chiefs and are they still in title contention? Of course this week is throwing up some interesting fixtures which could once again turn the tables upside down, so find out which teams our panel is picking to win, lose or draw this week on the Pick & Go.

  • The Greatest Ever Game of Rugby | Pick & Go 2026 | Ep6

    The Greatest Ever Game of Rugby | Pick & Go 2026 | Ep6
    Mar 17 2026
    Welcome back to the Pick and Go podcast. Inspired by the amazing 6 Nations finale between England and France we have to ask: Was that the greatest game of rugby ever? Was it the perfect advertisement for the game going forward. Of course we bring it home, and talk about Super Rugby. The Crusaders hit and miss season continues with them winning against the Highlanders, but will this finally bring consistency to their season or will we see them stumble against Moana? We also have an NZ derby this week and we will preview the Highlanders vs Hurricanes game. AI makes it’s final decision on our Super Rugby draft and there is a surprise loser in the comp.

    The first name on the team sheet is... | Pick & Go | Episode 5
    Mar 10 2026
    Welcome back to the Pick and Go podcast. Dave Rennie is the new boss, so we can expect new tactics, new attitude, and a new team. The question is who will that new team be built around, who will be Rennie’s first name on the team sheet? That is the question we’re posing to punters today. We finish our Super Rugby draft, and now the teams are locked in, it is time for them to face one another to determine who is the best. If you aren’t watching the Six Nations, we have a question for you: Why?It is providing some amazing entertainment, upsets and is set up for one heck of a finale where 3 teams are in position to claim top spot. With the new F1 season underway we are asking who would be able to trade their boots for the steering wheel. All that and the news, previews and bets of the week. So sit back relax and tune into the Pick and Go.

    The Crusaders are back! | The Pick & Go Podcast | Episode 4
    Mar 3 2026
    Welcome back to the Pick and Go podcast. Money, Money, Money! Who had a big win with their tip last week and is feeling flush with dosh? Spoiler alert it might be the guy in the coat made of dollar bills. We reflect on the games last week and the big surprises. The Crusaders seemed to have silenced the doubters and put their season back on track with a comeback win over the Chiefs. NZ Teams have not had the greatest start against non-NZ based teams so how will the season play out, are Australia a major threat this season or merely a flash in the pan. We are into Round 2 of our Super Rugby draft and there are some questionable picks this week as the panel attempt to secure the best players they can. Of course, we’ll be looking ahead to another exciting weekend of Super Rugby Pacific. Tune in every Tuesday during the rugby season for new episodes!

    Welcome back to the Pick and Go podcast.There were some controversial moments in the games at the weekend and the big one was at the Chiefs. Is this another week where the powers that be will be admitting they got it wrong, or was this just smart play?A few weeks ago we submitted new rules and the fans seemed to love Paul’s suggestion of an NFL style draft to start the Super Rugby season and so we ask the panel to do their own draft of current players.We look ahead at the big clashes this weekend and with the Crusaders 0-2 for the start of the season will they be able to turn things around agains the 2-0 Chiefs.All this and so much more on another action packed episode of the Pick and Go.Tune in every Tuesday during the rugby season for new episodes!
