The Week Mark Lost It (Again) - 2CGD

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 07:17:30 GMT

No Six Nations. No international drama. Just pure, unfiltered Super Rugby… and chaos.

With Europe taking the week off, all eyes turned south — and unfortunately for us (and especially for Mark), Australia decided to wake up and choose violence. The Blues found yet another soul-crushing way to lose, going down in the 81st minute in overtime. Yes, the 81st. Yes, Mark is still processing. No, he is not okay.

The Crusaders finally remembered how to win, knocking off the Chiefs after the Waikato boys absolutely flew out of the blocks. The Drua defended the fortress in Lautoka, toppling a fancied Hurricanes side and proving that Fiji remains one of the most terrifying away trips in world rugby.

With no major international storylines to anchor us, things got loose. There’s fear. There’s frustration. There’s a generous serving of absolute nonsense. And somehow, we still talk rugby.

Strap in. Grab a beer. And enjoy the spiral.

Double Delight: England Down, Crusaders Crushed - 2CGD

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 05:47:09 GMT

It was a weekend of our favourite sporting delicacy: beautiful, chaotic upsets and we are absolutely feasting. Ireland didn’t just beat England… they systematically dismantled them, with Jamison Gibson-Park running the show like a man who had the English defence on puppet strings. Every counter looked dangerous, every breakdown felt Irish, and England had absolutely no answers.

Down south, the rugby gods delivered something even more outrageous: the Crusaders didn’t just lose — they got hammered. The Brumbies dropped a half-century on them in Christchurch for their first win there in 26 years. Nobody saw it coming, everybody enjoyed it (well… almost everybody). Wales, after weeks of looking like rugby’s saddest soap opera, finally resembled a functioning rugby side again. They still went down to a street-tough, slightly fortunate Scotland — but at least this time there were signs of life and something to actually laugh with instead of at.

We also get stuck into France continuing to look like the team to beat, Italy continuing to be awkwardly competitive, and a Super Rugby round that delivered chaos, entertainment, and confirmation that the Blues still look shaky even when they scrape past the Force. Upsets, chaos, schadenfreude, and a healthy dose of nonsense.

Scotland Make No Sense, France Make Magic, Italy Make It Interesting - Two Cents Gets Distracted

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 06:14:13 GMT

This week on Two Cents Gets Distracted, Scotland did the most Scottish thing imaginable.

Lose to Italy… then immediately turn around and snap England’s 12-game winning streak.

Yes, the Scots beat the English. The rugby world rejoiced. Bagpipes were heard from space. We are, frankly, delighted.

Meanwhile, Wales have somehow discovered new geological layers of rock bottom. France treated them like training cones, playing Harlem Globetrotters rugby with offloads, flair, and the kind of ominous swagger that should concern literally everyone.

Italy vs Ireland? Suddenly… tight? Competitive? Slightly terrifying if you’re Irish? Is this an Italian renaissance, or are we witnessing the slow fade of Ireland’s golden generation? We attempt to answer that question with absolutely no qualifications whatsoever.

Plus — Super Rugby is back! The Crusaders lost (we celebrate responsibly). The Blues also lost (less fun). Balance has been restored to the universe.

All that, plenty of nonsense, and a decent helping of rugby chat.

France Flex, Ireland Flat, Wales Broken - Two Cents Gets Distracted

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 06:22:11 GMT

This week the Six Nations roared and rusted to life. We kick things off with France coming out hotter than a sizzling baguette at Stade de France, leaving Ireland flatter than day-old Guinness.

Then, we revel in Italy’s glorious ambush of Scotland,proving once again that it’s tough being Scottish. And, if you thought Wales couldn’t dig deeper, think again: their performance was a full-on Fawlty Towers episode, while England casually strolled in and gave them a rugby spanking.

We also look forward to Super Rugby getting started and unpack some of the new law changes.

The Great Coaching Scramble: Six Nations, Sarcasm & Summer Rust - Two Cents Gets Distracted

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 04:55:46 GMT

Fresh off our summer break, this first episode of the year drops us straight back into the deep end as we’re still reeling from the bombshell that Razor has been fired. The coaching carousel is already spinning: is Jamie Joseph next in line? ? Or are we about to be introduced to a whole new cast of weird and wonderful rugby powerbrokers?

We also turn our attention north, with the Six Nations kicking off — the “greatest rugby championship in the world”

As ever, expect a healthy mix of hot takes, half-baked theories, international rugby hype, and a solid helping of nonsense.

Welcome back to Two Cents Gets Distracted — where we talk a lot of rubbish and just enough rugby to justify it.

The Players Revolt: How Razor Lost the All Blacks - 2CGD Emergency Pod

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 08:41:55 GMT

The rugby world just got flipped upside down in the middle of summer. Scott “Razor” Robertson is out as All Blacks coach after a brutal internal review and reports suggest the players themselves led the charge.

From Ardie Savea’s alleged refusal to return under Razor, to questions about leadership, culture, and where New Zealand rugby goes next, Two Cents Gets Distracted drops an out-of-season emergency pod to unpack the biggest coaching bombshell in years.

The 2025 2CGDS Rugby Awards! - (For Gazza)

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 21:49:24 GMT

It’s the final episode of the year, and you know we’re not signing off without our annual dose of chaos. Welcome to the most prestigious, least credible, and proudly unhinged rugby awards show in existence:

The 2CGDS. Tony and Mark return to hand out a fresh selection of awards nobody asked for, celebrate the best and worst moments of the rugby year.

But this year’s finale also carries a weight as Gazza, hung up his boots last week. We take a moment to pay tribute to Gazza, Mark’s dad, a regular on his channel and a genuinely good bloke. A true character: warm, funny, honest, and utterly himself in every moment. Gazza brought joy to so many who watched him, and his presence became a much-loved part of the wider Two Cents community. He will be sorely missed.

So grab a beer, raise a glass for Gazza, and enjoy.

Murder on the Scrumfloor.. and it's really killing the mood.

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 05:46:33 GMT

South Africa and Ireland finally squared off in Dublin… and instead of the blockbuster we were promised, we got a full-blown scrum-a-thon of Biblical proportions. The Bok scrum was so dominant it bordered on performance art, Ireland simply ceased to exist in certain dimensions of reality. Add a stack of cards and the whole thing descended into glorious, farcical chaos. (And no, we’re absolutely not criticising the match itself… because we enjoy being alive. Wink.)

England keep marching forward, seeing off a spirited Argentinian comeback as Los Pumas continue to prove they’re becoming a genuine world force. The All Blacks had their turn to comfortably dismiss Wales… though if you squint, you might spot a green shoot or two for the Welsh. Maybe. Hard to say. Probably not.

And over in the “Shambosal Tour of Doom,” Australia rack up their fourth straight loss in Europe — their worst run since 1965 — this time falling to a red-hot French team. At least there were a couple of absolute pearler tries to soften the blow.

All that, plus plenty of rugby chat, nonsense, tangents, and the usual helping of BS

Red Cards, Rage & Razor Under Fire

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 09:01:11 GMT

This week on Two Cents Gets Distracted, the All Blacks served up a bowl of crap to their fans as England handed us a brutal loss, crushing our hopes, rattling the fanbase, and putting Razor and his coaching staff squarely under the blowtorch. And yes, we rant about it. At length. With feeling. Meanwhile, the Boks battled past a fired-up Italian outfit despite copping a red card that may go down as one of the worst decisions of the entire rugby year. Ireland absolutely pumped the Aussies, Wales finally remembered what a win feels like, and Argentina pulled off an outrageous comeback because of course they did — they’re Argentina. All that plus a whole lot of BS chat, whinging, therapy, and emotional processing about the state of the All Blacks. Buckle in. It’s a spicy one.

Boks see Red, BUT France is still Blue.

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 07:01:12 GMT

This week, the All Blacks (dressed in white) and down to three yellow cards — somehow held off a charging Scotland to keep their undefeated record alive. The Boks ate a full red card and still produced the performance of the weekend, thumping a fired-up France at home. Australia stumbled their way into a famous loss to Italy, and England edged a brilliant-but-gassed Fiji side.

We chat all that and a lot of BS.

The Art of Unwatchable Rugby

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 05:44:06 GMT

At Soldier Field, the All Blacks and Ireland combined for what could generously be described as a slow-motion car crash — a stop–start slog dominated by a pedantic referee, an eye-rolling red card, and enough resets to make you question your life choices. It was as attractive as… well, something deeply unattractive. Somehow, the All Blacks eventually clawed their way out of the mud and Ireland’s grasp to win, but by then, most viewers were emotionally bruised and spiritually broken.

Over in Twickenham, England pummelled the Wallabies with typical English enthusiasm for suffering — helped along by a peroxide-blonde prodigy who has everyone from pundits to your nan saying “this kid is special” with alarming confidence.

And at Wembley, the Springboks reduced Japan to rugby confetti in front of about twelve people and a seagull.

Countdown to Carnage: The Internationals Are Coming!

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 07:05:03 GMT

After a wee hiatus, we're back in time for International Rugby. We look ahead to the Autumn Internationals… or the Spring Internationals… depending on which hemisphere your face is currently in. Massive clashes are brewing, and we’re here to talk an Olympic-sized pile of rugby rubbish. Expect rugby chat, tangents, and at least one moment where we forget what game we were even talking about.

Boks take another little piece of hearts - 2CGD S4 EP33

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 07:10:48 GMT

The Springboks have done it again — back-to-back Rugby Championship titles and another reminder that their game plan is as brutal as it is effective. Argentina gave it everything, but South Africa were just too sharp, too dominant at scrum time.

Meanwhile, in a very wet Perth, the All Blacks splished, splashed, and scrapped their way past the Wallabies. It wasn’t pretty, but it was enough — a muddy finish to a messy season that still somehow ends on a high?

Boks Feast, ABs Bumble and Roses Bloom

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 04:52:36 GMT

This week, the Springboks turned the Pumas into mince, racking up 67 points and leaving rugby fans wondering if Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu is secretly a Dan Carter clone grown in a Pretoria lab. Over at Eden Park, the All Blacks and Wallabies treated us to a performance so scrappy it could’ve been filmed on VHS — but hey, the fortress still stands. And across the world, the Red Roses claimed World Cup glory, fending off a fearless Canadian side.

Bledisloe, Black Fern Blues & Bok Battles - Two Cents Gets Distracted

Bathe in our TEARS - Two Cents Gets Distracted

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 07:00:13 GMT

We know why you’re here, and we don’t blame you. This week, we tumble headfirst into the pit of despair that is All Blacks fandom after the Springboks dished out a pumpings in New Zealand’s graveyard, Sky Stadium in Wellington.

There’s plenty of wallowing, but we also manage to lift our heads long enough to cover the excellent clash between Argentina and the Wallabies, and check in on all the action from the Women’s World Cup.

All Blacks Fortress Stays Shut, Boks Left Knocking - 2CGD

Sun, 07 Sep 2025 10:43:32 GMT

An immediate game reaction pod this week. The most hyped game of the year delivered, the All Blacks held strong to keep their 30-year fortress intact and gave Ardie Savea the perfect 100th test celebration, while the Boks were left muttering about what could’ve been. Over in Townsville, the Wallabies played the role of international rugby’s rom-com kings once again, pulling off another ridiculous comeback against the Pumas. And we talk BS and Rugby whilst smiling and slightly drunk.

Grab a beer and Enjoy.

Fortress Eden vs the World Champs

Tue, 02 Sep 2025 04:38:42 GMT

The hype is off the charts! The World Champion Springboks are storming into Eden Park, the All Blacks’ fortress, where no one has won since 1994 (back before we had pubes). Will the Boks finally break the curse, or will the All Blacks once again prove Eden Park is basically Hogwarts with goalposts?

We’ll also look ahead to the Wallabies vs Pumas showdown, dive into the Women’s Rugby World Cup, check in on the Pacific Nations Cup, and give the NPC the airtime it deserves. The hype is real.

Sorry Tony has audio issues for about 10 minutes near the start,

The worst AB backline performance EVER!

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 05:21:15 GMT

The All Blacks were a flaming dumpster fire this week, and as loyal fans we are disgusted. Razor’s backline looked like they’d just met in the carpark before kickoff, and Argentina gleefully ran riot in front of delirious Buenos Aires fans.

Over in South Africa, the Wallabies gave the Boks a proper scare of potentially going back to back… until James O’Connor’s boots decided they were made of Play-Doh.

The Battle of MCG-dor & One Call to Rule Them All

Mon, 28 Jul 2025 07:02:56 GMT

Only one game this weekend, but oh boy, it had everything. The Wallabies hosted the British & Irish Lions at the MCG in a test match so spicy it you'll feel it coming out.

An instant classic? Definitely. But it’ll mostly be remembered for one Giant Call. Lions fans are calling it fine. Wallabies fans are still trying to locate their jaws on the floor.

We unpack the madness, point fingers, praise heroes, and as always, talk a lot of BS.

Lions bite but don't Roar, but are the Wallabies done?

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 09:16:13 GMT

The Lions drew first blood in Brisbane, taking the 1st Test over the Wallabies, but did they leave points (and polish) out on the paddock? The All Blacks notched another win against an understrength French side, but with more dirt-trackers in the mix this time, are we building depth or just delaying the big questions? Meanwhile, the Boks put Georgia away with ease... but was it convincing, or just clinical?

Join us as we dissect a weekend of almosts, maybes, and "meh-that’ll-do" performances from the big boys. Expect opinions, overreactions, and the odd tangent (as always).

Crusaders Win, Lions Lose, and Mark Fights the Internet

Tue, 24 Jun 2025 05:48:23 GMT

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

Tue, 17 Jun 2025 07:54:18 GMT

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.
