A couple of hosts who came together on a whim in 2022 have become arguably the best - and maybe the only - South African-American-Australian rugby podcast combination in the rugby world, blending the perfect combination of passion, humour, nonsense, and genuine insight.

  • Test Match post-mortem 12 – Murrayfield Maul Chokes Winged Wallabies

    Test Match post-mortem 12 – Murrayfield Maul Chokes Winged Wallabies
    Nov 24 2024
    Brett McKay and Harry Jones jump into another Test Match post-mortem without much thought at all, with this week's fulltime focus on Scotland’s gritty 27-13 win over Australia at a chilly Murrayfield in Edinburgh, the wrap up the final full weekend of Northern Spring Autumn Series Tours. In a game that would have been a statement win for either side, it was the Scots who maintained their shape, their discipline, and their excellent defence to see off the Wallabies, and with it, another shot at a historic Grand Slam.

  • Games of the Week 33 – Best be Frontrunners

    Games of the Week 33 – Best be Frontrunners
    Nov 21 2024
    Brett McKay and Harry Jones lay out the Games of the Week for the final full weekend of the Northern Spring Autumn Series Tours, the last chance for the Home Nations to save something from the November Tests, and for the southern hemisphere nations to reinforce their claims of global rugby domination. Can Argentina spring one last upset? Can Ireland make one last statement? How much patience is left in Wales? Will New Zealand appease fans at home with a fourth Spring Tour win? Will Scotland blink first, or Australia? And will the full support of the board continue for Steve Borthwick? This week’s Games of the Week: • France v Argentina in Paris • Wales v South Africa in Cardiff • Italy v New Zealand in Turin • Scotland v Australia in Edinburgh Plus, the Top 14 is back: we like the sound of Toulon v Bayonne on Saturday Social media: #89Combo Twitter: https://twitter.com/89combo YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@8-9Combo Now on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/89combo.bsky.social Brett: https://twitter.com/BMcSport Harry: https://twitter.com/HaribaldiJones You can find Brett and Harry individually on BlueSky, too!

  • Ep.41 – Giving Every Ounce with Dan McKellar

    Ep.41 – Giving Every Ounce with Dan McKellar
    Nov 18 2024
    Brett McKay and Harry Jones are joined on The 8-9 Combo by incoming New South Wales Waratahs coach Dan McKellar, who has put the disappointment of how his Leicester Tigers gig ended, the strong links to his native Queensland, and his storied history with the ACT Brumbies all behind him to get on with the job of restoring the Waratahs to the force Australian rugby needs them to be. Plus, Brett and Harry also dig into the Wallabies’ super impressive 52-20 thumping of Wales in Cardiff, the first time Australia has won consecutive matches on foreign soil since the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan. Next up for the Wallabies are Scotland at Murrayfield, and a contest that has remained tight for the last few years.
