November 7th, it's the day the talking stops, the spin ends, and you get your say. Are we staying the course or is the political landscape about to completely fracture? The major parties are panicking, the miners are searching, and the Wellington bubble is an overdrive. But what do the promises actually mean for your back pocket? We're cutting through the campaign fluff and focusing on what really matters. Don't just watch the polls, understand the plays. Get the sharpest, unfiltered, and hard-hitting facts.

It's rugby round table time, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, Devil and off his deathbed. Welcoming back. My good old mate John Day, 20 years broadcasting journal life, journalist experience. And there he is. Mark Watson in the Sapphasa Dying to Get Hold of You, mate. Oh, they're dying to get hold of you. I've got quotes like: Immoral, corrupt, and alien invasion to deal with. HBO Max proudly supporting all our coverage of rugby's greatest rivalry. We've got a lot to get through. Um, and I'm out of breath and I'm a bit weak 'cause I've been in bed for a couple of days. But I have ten questions to start with the yes no game as always, boys. You know how to play this. I want one word answers. And we'll start with you, Mark.
Was that an acceptable series performance from the All Blacks? No. No. Did we improve throughout the series? No, no. Is it true to say that the run and gun game plan was smacked hard by the crash and bash equivalent?
Yes. Yes.
Number four. Is this uh game plan of high tempo attack from anywhere at rugby the right philosophy for the all blacks going forward with next year in mind? No. Yes. Are we big enough as a team? No. No. Are the All Blacks demonstrably in a better place than we were last year? Yes. Yes. Is the coaching team complete? Should it be added to or subtracted from to be better still before the World Cup next year? Yes, we need to make change.
Yeah.
Yes. Will we ever figure out how to better handle the box kick? No. No. God, that's depressing, isn't it? That is so depressing. Are there more than three all blacks who would currently make the South African starting twenty three? More than three.
What were the initial reactions to the All Blacks' 3‑1 series loss to the Springboks?
No. That's depressing as well. So we end on this. Are you again over optimistic? No. Yes. Right, oh boys, we've got a lot to unpack and there's a couple of different ways of dealing with this. Yes, we could look forward and say accentuate the positives and I want three positives from each of us before this session ends. But I s I think there is still time to rake over the coals and I think we've got to be honest about what we've seen. I wanna start with you though, Wado, and the immoral of the corrupt and the alien invasion. You've got thirty seconds and the clock starts now to confront the Safa fans that are just waiting and just snarling and snapping in the background. What do you got?
Uh no, look, I I stick with what I say. I think that Rassi Erasmus is the master of the gray. I think when it comes to scrummaging, I still think they do it illegally. I think there's a really good article on stuff today by Mark Reason which reinforces that as well. And Neil Barnes, and I've just got a quote from Neil Barnes here. We get two penalties against us at the start of the game for a break foot, which no one gives a shit about, but the referees are concentrating on. Then you look at the video, both teams have done exactly the same thing at the same time. There's two penalties against us. He then goes on to say, So I guess at the end of the day, there's a perception that they are the dominant team, but at the moment they're getting the rub of the green.
When that changes, we'll have a fair go. And I think he has manipulated it. I think he has the referees in his pocket.
