Episode 7 - The fall of the highlanders

In this week's Rugby Punting podcast, the host reflects on a small loss of 0.55 units from the previous week, bringing their overall season return to 73.1 units and a 28.26% profit on turnover. The podcast covers some notable performances and key games:
Chiefs vs. Moana: The Chiefs were dominant early (leading 43-7 at halftime), but Moana made a strong comeback. The Chiefs’ mental strength was questioned, especially with premiership contenders needing to shore up their game to beat teams like the Crusaders and Reds.
Reds vs. Highlanders: The Reds dominated with their forward pack, particularly in scrums, leaving the Highlanders in a vulnerable position for their next match against the Brumbies. The host felt the Brumbies were likely to dominate the Highlanders.
Crusaders vs. Blues: The Crusaders handed the Blues a heavy defeat, with the host commenting on the Blues’ cultural issues and overconfidence.
Tahs vs. Brumbies: The Brumbies were humbled by the Tars, which raised concerns for the Highlanders who were facing them next.
Force vs. Drua: The host found the Force vs. Drua game entertaining and credited Harry Potter magic for helping them win their over bet.
Looking ahead:
Warring Tars and Hurricanes: The podcast predicts a high-scoring match with the Tars taking the plus 12.5 line.
Brumbies vs. Highlanders: The Brumbies were heavily favored, with a 10.5 point handicap considered too low.
Moana vs. Crusaders: The host is cautious after the Chiefs’ unexpected struggle against Moana, but sees potential for a stronger performance.
Reds vs. Force: The Reds’ weakened squad, combined with bad weather, makes the game unpredictable, but the host suggests an over bet of 52.5 for points.
Additionally, there’s a side discussion about the Wallabies coaching situation, with the host expressing concerns over the potential appointment of Stuart Lancaster, preferring continuity with the current coach, Schmidt.
The host’s overall feeling is optimistic about upcoming bets, particularly with a Brumbies win on Friday.

Week 1 Review - What is defence

Welcome to our Week One Super Rugby Review! It’s been a cracking start to the 2025 season, with plenty of action, big results, and some classic Super Rugby chaos. Crowds are reportedly up 38%, though that doesn’t mean much when the Force only managed 5,300 in what was arguably the game of the round against Moana Pasifika—where defense was optional.
We’ll break down all the key moments from Week One, the biggest surprises, and what these results could mean heading into Round Two. Let’s start with the Crusaders vs. Hurricanes—where the underdogs turned things around in style!
