This feels like tipping point for Super Rugby #89rugby #rugbypodcast Reports this week, and then confirmation that Moana Pasifika will withdraw from #superrugbypacific at the end of the 2026 season has hit the competition hard. But, Brett McKay & Elliott Smith agree, it also forces Australia and New Zealand into serious conversations about the future of Super Rugby... 8/9 Rugby on YouTube, all the pods, and on Substack.

Does Moana Pasifika situation force Super Rugby’s hand? | the AUS Rugby scene with Elliott Smith New Zealand rugby commentator Elliott Smith joins Brett McKay on the AUS Rugby scene this week, with news of Moana Pasifika’s demise dominating all discussion around the competition. Please note, Moana Pasifika confirmed their intentions to disband at the conclusion of the 2026 season soon after this episode was recorded, and before it was released, but the concerns expressed and thoughts on the way forward remain valid. This does feel like a tipping point for Super Rugby Pacific, and it’s inherent on Rugby Australia and New Zealand Rugby that all options are not properly explored for the competition to regain lost ground. #rugbypodcast #89Rugby #SuperRugbyPacific Find Elliot hosting the Rugby Direct podcast, along with Liam Napier wherever you get your podcasts.

An Aussie rugby win at home is one thing but victory in NZ is another Australian teams will only boost their chances of achieving the ultimate success in Super Rugby Pacific if they conquer the challenge of beating their New Zealand opponents across the Tasman.

Australian #rugby fans have little to cheer about so why does the ABC have to dismiss small victories?

The article is more balanced than the headline but I'd celebrate a draw at this stage.

Coin flips & brotherly bragging rights | the AUS Rugby scene with Jamie Wall New Zealand rugby writer and fellow Substacker Jamie Wall joins Brett McKay on the AUS Rugby scene this week, with the curiosities of a short round over a long weekend quickly fading with the arrival of some stonking contests this weekend. If Round 8 felt a bit one-sided, Round 9 will be anything but, with at least three games looming as genuine coin-flip contests. Are the Drua still so invincible at home? What money a golden point draw between the ‘Canes and Blues? And surely the Reds have to bounce back, right?

Enjoyment the winner in Super Rugby | the AUS Rugby scene with Tony Johnson The great NZ commentator Tony Johnson joins Brett McKay on the AUS Rugby scene this week, for a timely perspective from over the ditch on Super Rugby Pacific and the view on the Australian teams in 2026. With a short round this Easter long weekend – which definitely does feel like a missed opportunity – there’s a couple of really interesting Round 8 games of importance for a few teams and for a few reasons. But clearly, there’s also been a great joy in the rugby we’ve seen played, and that will follow on the run to the finals now that we’re over the hump. #rugbypodcast #89Rugby #SuperRugbyPacific Find us on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever else you get your podcasts Social media: search for ‘8/9 Rugby’ on Twitter, Bluesky, LinkedIn, and on Instagram, too And please do check out and subscribe to 8/9 Rugby on Substack: https://89rugby.substack.com/ Find Brett on both Twitter and on BlueSky: @BMcSport Music: "Up Above" by Letter Box (via YouTube Creator Studio)

There is space there to burn | the AUS Rugby scene with John Ferguson Rugby writer, analyst and YouTuber John Ferguson joins Brett McKay on the AUS Rugby scene this week, to have a good think about what we’ve seen in Super Rugby Pacific over the first six weeks of the competition. And with a look ahead at what’s coming for a few teams as well. The Hurricanes face all the other current top six teams over the next six week, for example. The Chiefs and Waratahs have harder looking draws coming up, too. The Fijian Drua suddenly look very vulnerable. Even before the halfway point of the year, the run to the finals looks like it will be intriguing. #rugbypodcast #89Rugby #SuperRugbyPacific Find John’s YouTube channel, Off the Ruck at https://www.youtube.com/@OfftheRuck Find us on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever else you get your podcasts Social media: search for ‘8/9 Rugby’ on Twitter, Bluesky, LinkedIn, and on Instagram, too And please do check out and subscribe to 8/9 Rugby on Substack: https://89rugby.substack.com/ Find Brett on both Twitter and on BlueSky: @BMcSport Music: "Up Above" by Letter Box (via YouTube Creator Studio)

Super Rugby has become unequal and predictable. Is this sustainable? In a troubling sign, the current top six teams have dominated the competition and the finals for the past four years.

Whingefest because the Waratahs can't win game the should #superrugby
