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

It's the festive season, which is when we find out who has been naughty or nice, or in ERB's world which teams had good years, average years, and a season to forget. Ant, Phil, and a returning Andy have a look at standout players and moments for each of the top 12 sides. Oh, yes, we also address the extremely disappointing Eben incident and the needless Wales rout, while also touching on a tremendous Stormers result and a surprising Jukskei derby.

ERB Ep. 9: New Year, new directionless episode

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...

Teams supported other than the Springboks: Stormers, Scotland
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
