Episode 2406: History Of Hatching, NZ At All Time Low, Reckless Rugby, Live in Leap

Tue 9th Aug 2022
Eoin, Ken, Murph, Simon, Justin Marshall, Shane Horgan

This current generation of All Blacks are not yet the losingest team in their nation’s great history but they’re close having lost the last three in a row, five of the last six, took their worst beating off South Africa in a century and are facing the world champs again next week in Johannesburg. Do we… feel sorry for the NZ rugby team?

 

It looks like they will have Beauden Barrett available for that second test which is a miracle after he was hit hard, at the apex of his jump, by Springbok winger Kurt-Lee Arendse, which caused Barrett to land on his neck, an incident that could potentially have paralysed one of the game’s superstars. 

 

We talk to former All Black Justin Marshall, and Shane Horgan, about the bare minimum four week ban for Arendse, the 20 minute red card trial and if rugby is taking player safety seriously. 


Plus there’s Ken’s history of hatching, Rovers on tv and some small live show news.
