    Episode 311 - Clear & Obvious (Unless You’re the TMO)

    2026/02/24 | 56 mins.
    Ant is back from faraway lands with a scouting report from Georgia (spoiler: they don’t know much about SA rugby… except that we’re good), and the boys dive into a proper Six Nations mid-tournament temperature check.

    We unpack three weeks of Six Nations chaos: France looking like the only adults in the room, Ireland nearly getting Italy'd in Dublin, Scotland doing Scotland things (again), and England discovering that a 12-game streak doesn’t stop you getting put to the sword. Along the way we argue about drifting passes, TMOs who simply can’t help themselves, and whether gold boots are basically a cursed captaincy announcement.

    Then it’s a quick whip around the globe: SA’s new U20/U23 Currie Cup bridge (and the return of curtain-raiser nostalgia), early Super Rugby weirdness (Brumbies statement win, Crusaders in the mud, and the usual “it’s early” cop-outs), URC’s return, and Varsity Cup’s latest mad-scientist scoring rule. Also the Lions did the double over the Sharks!

    Episode 310: Six Nations Previews

    2026/02/03 | 1h 3 mins.
    After a quick detour to the URC, Ant, Phil and Andy preview the upcoming Six Nations. Will England and Italy's rises supersede Ireland and Scotland's golden (yet greying) generations? Will Dupont carry France or will he be lost to the Winter Olympics? And will Wales...nah, they won't. That and more in this week's episode.

    Episode 308: The Dezemba Episode

    2025/12/02 | 1h 41 mins.
    It's the festive season, which is when we find out who has been naughty or nice, or in ERB's world which teams had good years, average years, and a season to forget. Ant, Phil, and a returning Andy have a look at standout players and moments for each of the top 12 sides. Oh, yes, we also address the extremely disappointing Eben incident and the needless Wales rout, while also touching on a tremendous Stormers result and a surprising Jukskei derby.

    Episode 307: Cards, Scrums & Dream Teams - Dissecting a Dublin Demolition

    2025/11/25 | 1h 39 mins.
    Strap in for a bumper episode of Elite Rugby Banter as Ant and Phil break down a truly bizarre and brutal Test match in Dublin. The Springboks were undeniably dominant against Ireland, so why did it feel so close? We dive into the FIVE Irish cards, the scrum carnage, the bizarre refereeing decisions, and the James Ryan incident that left us speechless.

    Then, we shift gears to crown the best of the best. With the international season wrapped up, we unveil our official Elite Rugby Banter World XV of the Year. Who made the cut in our entirely objective and completely undisputed dream team? There are shock inclusions, controversial snubs, and a healthy dose of banter as we debate the standout players from 1 to 15.

    It’s all here: analysis of the Boks' tour, the state of the All Blacks, England's rise, and our prestigious end-of-year awards. You won't want to miss it!
