Well, here we are, on the cusp of a new Super Rugby season. A time when all the teams are equal and every team, yes even yours Hoss, has a theoretically even chance of winning the entire show.  So despite the Queensland Reds having a week one bye, Happyman and I dragged ourselves to the microphone to Join KARL for our proper Team's podcast for the year.  We went through all the games, had a talk about some new laws everyone has to deal with and had a wee whinge about commentators near the end.  We hope you enjoy it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'll admit that I've spent a fair bit of time over the summer break fattening up in the top paddock, but that doesn't mean that I'm not ready for a big year of Super Rugby.  Happyman, KARL, and I are back for season two, and this week we cast our eye over each team and gave our opinions on how they'll go, how they had recruited, and what their strengths and weaknesses are. We even had a crack at picking the overall winners and losers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
