The Phil and Ant Stats Show: French Referees and Rugby World Cup Semi-Finals

Explicit content warning

10/24/19 • 57 min

With Phil in Japan, Ben joins Ant to talk about the respective records of Jérôme Garcès and Nigel Owens heading into this weekend's World Cup semi-finals. There is also some mild banter, and much insight (we'd argue anyway). They conclude that the Springboks have nothing to worry about apart from themselves. Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show. Thanks for listening!

Episode 102.2 : One Man Show, All Black awesomeness, English goodness, Welsh meh and Bok steamroller

For the first time ever, it's a one man show. Adam steers the ship and is joined by Phil, who reports in from Japan. This is arguably the least bantery episode ever. But hey, we serve the People! Adam goes through the quarterfinals that have just taken place at the Rugby World Cup, and while irritated with South Africa, the second half promises better things for next week. Edit: Apologies for the failed splicing! This has now been rectified! Thanks for listening! Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show.

Episode 103: Bokke squeeze into final against an England team high on crushing All Black dreams

After a tantalising wait, here is this week's pod! It's all about the Rugby World Cup semi-finals as Alex, Ben and Ant go mental (yet there is some disquiet) about South Africa making the Rugby World Cup final for a third time, and heap praise on England's excellent performance to eliminate the Mordor of Rugby, the All Blacks. Faf's fabulous hair, kicking - so much kicking - and Phil reports from Japan, where he was at the South Africa-Wales semi-final.
