Crusaders Win, Lions Lose, and Mark Fights the Internet
This week, much to our dismay, the Crusaders have done it again—another Super Rugby title, this time over the Chiefs. Meanwhile, Los Pumas pulled off a cracking win against the Lions in a game that had everything, and Razor Robertson has named his first All Blacks squad... complete with a few eyebrow-raisers. Plus, there’s the usual helping of BS, distractions galore, and Mark has a therapeutic moment with some delightfully grumpy YouTube commenters.

Leinster Lift It, Crusaders Crush Us, Chiefs Charge On
Leinster are champions of the URC after a composed, clinical performance over a Bulls side that just didn’t bring the fire. In Super Rugby, the Crusaders crush our dream (again) of the Blues pulling off a miracle, reminding us what finals footy really looks like. And the Chiefs? They take care of business against the Brumbies in a no-nonsense semi-final display. Plus, we serve up our usual helping of sideline nonsense — bold takes, bad analogies, and a bit of rugby therapy for long-suffering Blues fans. Grab a beer and enjoy!

Blues Shine, Canes Collapse, and We Somehow Made It to 100
Well, somehow… against all odds, common sense, and good taste, we’ve made 100 of these little buggers! Celebrate our 100th episode as we welcome some very special contributors, shout into the rugby void, and do what we do best: talk shit and Rugby. The Blues give us a reason to smile (finally), the Hurricanes absolutely soil the linen, and Super Rugby and the URC wobble their way to the sharp, terrifying end of the season. Massive thanks to all of you legends for watching, listening, and enabling this strange audio experiment to keep going. Grab a beer and enjoy!

Ardie Savea: Rugby God Mode Activated - 2CGD
This week, Ardie Savea ascended to another plane of existence—dragging Moana Pasifika (and possibly time and space itself) to a mind-melting upset over the Blues. \ The Hurricanes and Highlanders gave us a thriller, and meanwhile, the Force and Waratahs officially waved goodbye to finals footy like that one mate who RSVP’d “maybe” but was never coming.Plus, Tony stares into the crystal ball (or maybe a pint glass?) for another round of Tony’s European Post-Match Predictions.

The Annual Leinster Letdown
Leinster bottled it again at the business end of a major tournament—at this point, it's basically tradition.

Super Rugby Keeps Banging out Bangers, but Tony forgets most of it.
Well, well, well—fancy seeing you again! You must be a big 2CGD fan because this is what we call, in the business, a slow week in the season.
