  • Summary

  • Harry Jones, the grizzly old no.8, and Brett McKay, the unremarkable schoolboy no.9, unite for the short-side set-piece combination you didn't realise you needed, coming from the rugby podcast double act you already had. 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. Tune in every week to find out where on earth Harry is podding from, and how on earth Brett keeps it all flowing as they enjoy great rugby chats with an incredible array of guests.

    Ep.34 – Fake Ceilings with Jared Wright
    Sep 30 2024
    Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones are joined on The 8-9 Combo by Plante Rugby writer and connoisseur of stadium security dominant tackles, Jared Wright, for a full look back on South Africa’s thumping of Argentina to wrap up The Rugby Championship for 2024, and what has really made this Springbok team so dominant on their way to their first southern hemisphere title since 2019. The guys also ponder the future of The Rugby Championship and what it might look like in the years New Zealand and South Africa tour each other. Perhaps this really is the chance for SANZAAR to stop talking about it and finally bring Japan and Fiji into the fold properly.

  • Test Match post-mortem 8 – Weird Welly-Wonka

    Test Match post-mortem 8 – Weird Welly-Wonka
    Sep 28 2024
    Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones launch into another Test Match post-mortem before giving it any thought at all, with this week's fulltime focus on another weird and curious Bledisloe Cup contest in Wellington, where the All Blacks overcame some first half issues to put the Wallabies away 33-13. After their almost comeback in Sydney, this loss in Wellington will have to be one that the Wallabies review harshly after one of their strongest first halves of the year, while the All Blacks made some impressive defensive shifts to regain an even share of possession and territory, which allowed them to get away in the second half.
