Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones are joined on The 8-9 Combo by legendary New Zealand broadcaster and author Tony Johnson, fresh from calling one of the games of Super Rugby Pacific this season so far, the Blues v Hurricanes blockbuster at Eden Park on Saturday.
 
With the top eight taking shape and only three rounds of the season remaining, the guys and Tony take a closer look at the state of play among the Kiwi teams, how the demise of the Crusaders is being received (gleefully, mostly), and how the New Zealanders are seeing the rise of the Australian sides in 2024. Plus, the guys applaud the introduction of the Under-20s Rugby Championship, complete over the weekend on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.
