The Pick and Go Podcast - 2025 - Episode 42

Welcome back to the Pick and Go! It’s the last episode of 2025 after what has been a very long and interesting season, filled with some C-class tipping, surprising results, and a whole lot of unanswered questions. The lads kick things off by being asked the big one: what do they rate the All Blacks out of 10—and why? After what could be considered a just-above-average international season, the ABs showed flashes of what they can do, but also left fans with plenty of uncertainty and inconsistency. How do we trust them going into next year? Have they lost their aura? With the All Blacks’ final game of the season now in the books, the lads dissect the 50 points they put on Wales. Were we satisfied with that? They also dive into a full review of the South Africa vs Ireland test—a match full of drama with multiple yellow cards and a red. Are Australia and Joe Schmidt under some pressure after getting beaten by France to close out their tour? To wrap up this season’s podcast, the lads give out some way-too-early predictions for 2026: who’s going to win Super Rugby, who takes out the NPC, and the tough question of all tough questions—how many games do they think the All Blacks will lose next year?
