The Counter Ruck: The Irish Times Rugby Podcast · Why are New Zealand embarking on their own Lions tour? · 7 Aug 2026 podcast

you're a little bit worried about what's going to happen to argentina and australia but i think going back against my earlier point i i think you're right i don't think south africa and new zealand playing each other in a three-match series every other year devalues maybe a world cup final which obviously this was the last world cup final so south africa new zealand i think what would devalue the world cup is just so africa plays in the six nations if that is indeed the the path of least resistance here then like then we are going down that route because you know the voice-verified

Ireland losing to New Zealand at every World Cup quarterfinal isn't devalued because they only play New Zealand every couple of years previously in a three-match tour. voice-verified

Now they're going to play them a lot more often in the last couple of years and they will play them more often. voice-verified

So maybe that gets devalued a little bit. voice-verified

But yeah, the Northern Sun... But again, that's just South Africa's perpetual geography problem, isn't it? voice-verified

New Zealand and Australia were too far away and okay, time zone means European rugby is okay. voice-verified

But if latest reporting is to be believed, they're considering their position in European competitions. voice-verified

I mean, it's... voice-verified

that Africa still has a lot to sort out itself. voice-verified

The conclusion we're kind of, not tightrope walking around, but we're getting closer to, I think, is the bigger brands want to maximize what they can get and their bang for their buck. voice-verified

And that's what ultimately this is. voice-verified

What is it? voice-verified

The world's greatest rivalry or whatever it is, whatever it's called. voice-verified

I've already forgotten. voice-verified

Sorry. voice-verified

This simplistic name that I've already forgotten. voice-verified

Simplistic, but not very memorable name. voice-verified

while the overall governing body is still trying to say, hey guys, don't forget, you know, Ireland, you still need to go to Newcastle and play Japan. voice-verified

Or, that's not a good example because at least as far as we know, Ireland aren't organizing anything similar to this. voice-verified

But, you know, it's, yeah, New Zealand, you still need to host, you know, who do they host? voice-verified
