Episode 176: Rainbow Cup or Rain-no Cup

Sorry, we're late, but don't worry ... Ben and Matt are here to offer up some ill-informed opinions about the latest rugby news and results.

Episode 183: A day late and two hosts short

Ant, Phil and Andy recap the two season finales for URC and Super Rugby as well as the non-Test between the B&I Lions (minus Leinster) and Argentina (minus most of their first choice French clubbers). The Lions head off to Australia with more questions than answers but Ant like a good Brit thinks this might be a good thing. The Super Clubs of Leinster and the Crusaders add more trophies to their storied histories, and the Bulls bullies get taught a lesson at Choke, I mean Croke, Park. Meanwhile, attention turns to the Test window, with an appetizer in the form of the BaaBaas in Cape Town who have already run up significant bills at Caprice in Clifton if rumours are to be believed.

ERB Ep. 9: New Year, new directionless episode

The gang return to sing the name, "Brodie Retallick!" Anyone who throws mad dummies like him will have his name remembered. Much is made of Namibia qualifying for the World Cup while okes (bar Adam) stick the boot into Handre Pollard for his poor kicking.

Delaying his needed at a squash game, Alex leads Ant and Phil on a journey of discovery as the Capetoanian trio preview this year's Currie Cup, how teams will line-up, the stench of youth to pervade the competition and the eventual winner. In classic ERB style, Alex hoped for 45 minutes...

Favourite rugby moment: every Breyton Paulse flick-flack

Ant:
Rugby claim to fame: Lightest hooker to play senior rugby for UCT 
Teams other than the Springboks: Sharks, Giltinis (RIP), Nambia
Favourite rugby moment: any Frans Steyn 50m kick, or Louis Carbonel pointing and laughing at the english before slotting a conversion, or RG fighting the whole Aussie team

Phil:
Rugby claim to fame: Smashed through a whole a Kingswood team to score a magical try (twice)
Teams other than the Lions: Springboks, England, Cheetahs
Favourite rugby moment: Lions comprehensive win over the Sharks in the 2011 Currie Cup final
