Chapter 1: What is the atmosphere like in Christchurch during Super Round?
Well, here we are. This is it. Yeah, Christchurch Superround. We're here. City's a buzz, isn't it? It certainly is. It's a buzz. It's a beautiful day.
I've seen people out on the pavement. That's how I know it's a buzz.
It's a buzz.
Because there are people around.
Yeah. And you know what? A lot of rugby fans milling around the airport this morning. Yeah, some hard outs too. Yeah. Good to see domestic. The same rules apply for the domestic terminal as the international terminal when it comes to smacking beers. Oh, right. Okay. Yeah. That means there's no time. Yeah. You know, time is irrelevant when it goes to the airport.
So loads of rugby fans smashing beers. Great to see a couple of old Waikato NPC tops, a couple of Mulu tops floating around.
Yeah, it does feel very much like a bit of a what old school jersey have you got flex fest down here at the moment as well. Some great retro kits going about. I'd say the Chiefs were the most represented fan base in the airport.

Chapter 2: How do fans prepare for the Super Round weekend?
From what I saw.
Yeah, that's true. Is there a direct flight from the Tron to Crushage? If there is, it's probably on a tiny little prop plane. So I think it's worth the one hour trip up the motorway while listening to Dudes Routin' or Great New Zealand Routes. In reverse? Yeah, I suppose you can do it in reverse. Might work.
Tough listen. Oh, you'd make it work. You'd make it work. The one fandom or fan base I didn't see any representation from in the airport was the Blues. Oh, the Blues. Yeah, there was one guy in a Canes jersey.
Oh, okay. No, well, you know, they're a bit more subtle, aren't they, the Blues fans? And you know what? They'll probably come in on their private jets just before the game and leave immediately after. Because they're not playing until tomorrow night. No, they're not. So why would they come tonight to get punished by Crusaders fans? Why would you do that to yourself as a Blues fan?
And same with, I mean, that's when you look at it, those Chiefs fans, they're true rugby fans. It's rugby mana for them. So they're happy to come here and watch the Crusaders. It's going to be tough for me tonight calling that game, pretending like I care against the retards.
Yeah, well, you've got to do what you've got to do.
Yeah, anyway. So, yeah, we are calling that game tonight live and free on iHeartRadio and Radio Hauraki at 7.30. Yep.

Chapter 3: What are the key matchups to watch during Super Round?
We had a bit of a boo-boo in the fact that we thought it was 7, like all the other games. Easy mistake to make. But since there's no Aussie games this weekend, they've bumped it another half hour just, I think, for the Australian audience. So, 7.30 tonight, iHeart and on Radio Hauraki. But, man. If that plane had gone down, quite a lot of New Zealand's media would have gone down with it.
I tell you what, they should have rolled out the red carpet for the amount of media personalities that were on that plane today, especially within about a three-minute radius of us for some reason.
Yeah, and questions have to be asked about on a 50-minute flight why Martin Devlin would need to go to the toilet three times.
Yeah, three times.
Now, either he's got a prostate issue or he's up to no good.
Yeah. Okay? Those seem to be the only two options. Yeah, yeah. I didn't, before anyone else was asking, and I'm not sure that many people were, I didn't see anyone else going into the bathroom with him. No, no.
It certainly wasn't that kind of behavior.
It was whether he was up to something else. I don't know.
You can eliminate that. Oh, yeah. You can eliminate that. I think he was the only one that used the toilet. He was. Three times. He certainly was.

Chapter 4: How do the speakers predict the outcomes of the matches?
Fundamentally weak. And we saw our good friend, William Wider. Yeah. Willie Cribb.
He was getting punished by Martin Devlin.
Oh, yes. He has got absolutely chewed off. Such a good rooster. We're talking about his time in Vegas because he went to the NRL Vegas weekend.
Oh, were you in the crew with him this morning?
Yeah, he had a hell of a weekend. Nice. Hell of a weekend. It looked good. He went over there with JD Sports and he didn't realize that they had four stores over there. And he said he has had a whale of a time. Oh, I bet. Yeah. So, no, good to see him. So we'll catch up with him a bit later. I invited him along to our long lunch tomorrow. What's he doing down here? He is down here with JD Sports.
Again, JD Sports.
Because JD sponsor the Blues. Right. So, yeah, he's down here. Great man. God, he's got so much enthusiasm.
He's annoyingly decent.

Chapter 5: What are the unique experiences planned for the new stadium?
He's annoyingly enthusiastic. He's got it all.
He's handsome.
He can dance. He can move. He can run. He can... He's got it all. He can pull off the little pencil moustache as well without looking like a sex pest. And as you said, Joe Jerry walked into the studio and I thought, geez, that's a perfect description of Joe.
Shall we get this podcast underway? We've got a bit of sport to talk about, but it feels so good to be coming to you, Laura, from Otatahi. Anyway, live from the mobile... Christchurch, mate. Live from the mobile export beer garden studio from Christchurch. It is the agenda podcast for the 24th of the 4th, 2026.
The Agenda podcast, the home of sporting nonsense and claptrap. Brought to you by Export Ultra. Listen, mate, it's Ultra Tahi everywhere outside of Canterbury. Inside of Canterbury, it's Christchurch, mate. Yeah, I'm having flashbacks to family Christmas. Anyway, yeah, we're down here for Superround. Kicks off tonight, the Crusaders versus the Retards tonight.
So I'm just going to take my hoodie off. You go for it. And I've gone for a punt with the Hauraki Breakfast guys this morning. I've got a vibe that Leicester find me an igloo is going to be the first person to score a try. at Takaha.
Are you getting that vibe because of the position change?
Just all the chat? Yep.

Chapter 6: What humorous incidents are anticipated during the games?
I feel like it's just going to happen. He won't score it with a pick and go. He'll be out in the centres somewhere and he'll skin some centre and score it, I reckon. That's my vibe. He'll be pesting out in the back somewhere. They're basically playing with an extra back. So you've just put him down as first try scorer? Hundy. Got a Hundy on it. He's paying, I think he's paying... $14, $15?
I don't know. So there you go. So that's my prediction for tonight.
I think that's probably going to be a Crusaders demolition. I'm hoping anyway. I can't say that after what happened last week. I said that before going and versing the Reds and it came back to bite me or whatever. But I feel like with all the mana around this game, which there's plenty of, by the way, down here in Canterbury this weekend.
Is there too much though? Is there too much?
Well, I mean, that's the first time Canterbury has received such an allegation that there might be too much money coming out of the region.
Yeah, a lot of pressure. There's a lot of pressure. It's not their home ground, is it? They've never played on it. No, it is. No, well, they haven't played on it yet. They've got no record.
Their record is terrible.

Chapter 7: How do the speakers engage with listener feedback?
When is it? The one nun. Mate. Lost none. I'll hit you with a record. We haven't lost to the Waratahs in Christchurch since 2024. Not on this ground. Not on this ground, mate. It does not matter. Are you happy with that? Not on this ground. Not on this ground.
The roof makes it neutral territory. Does it? Yeah. Are you sure? Yep.
Is this what's been hindering the Hollanders for the past decade?
You know, we met a massive Crusaders fan before I got on the flight, Christian Boston, and he said, listen, I love listening to your guys' commentary, but when you and James McConey commentate Crusaders ā I last about 10 minutes and you always wind me up. And I was like, you know what? Perfect. That is the perfect result for Makoni and I is to basically pest off all you Crusaders fans.
But you should tune in because the Crusaders always beat us and then we have to eat humble pie at the end of it. So worth hanging on. That is.
So then let's actually go through the schedule this weekend. So tomorrow afternoon we then have...
Tomorrow afternoon is the Hurricanes versus theā¦ It's the Hurricanes game. Yeah, it's the Hurricanes.

Chapter 8: What final thoughts do the hosts share before the matches?
Who are they playing? The Brumbies. The Brumbies, that's right. Oh, yeah, that'll be a good game. Yeah, that won't be a bad game. The Brumbies coming off a loose loss to Fiji and Drua. Yeah. But they've got the happy times down in Christchurch. They pumped the Crusaders earlier in the season. Yeah, thank you for that. And then got the battle of the colours.
going on in the evening, Blues versus Reds. Right, okay, sorry, I thought, yeah. Blues, obviously, massive favourites, so are the Canes, so are the Crusaders. So then it kind of peaks, and then they've kind of just shuffled the Pacifica teams and the Chiefs and the Highlanders into Sunday, which I think's a real... Metaphor? As a real snub, I reckon.
A real snub, and those teams should be pissed off.
Yeah, I would be.
Because you've got Highlanders versus Moana at 1.30, and then you've got the Chiefs, manna.
All I can think about is that the Crusaders must have slipped them something to get this. Well, I mean, I suppose they have to be the first game of their home stadium. That makes sense. Yeah, but make it. But at the same time... Crusaders Blues, maybe? They're going to have a lot more fun this weekend than the other teams. The two teams playing tonight. Oh, yeah. They get to go out and on. Yeah.
And all these teams playing on Sunday. You're saying there's going to be... Would you think there'll be an incident? I assure you there'll be an incident this weekend. Is there going to be an incident? Excellent. Definitely. I mean, we might be a part of it and I'm happy to instigate it even.
Speaking of incidents, we threw out on Sosh last night. Obviously, a new stadium. It's Hyman. It's tight. It needs to be broken. But there's a lot of things. in that stadium that they can done for the first time. And not often will you get a chance to go to a brand spanking new stadium and be the first to do something. So we're compiling a list and we need your help.
You're using the analogy of making love to. I was looking at using just the kind of... old Christian thing of maybe christening the stadium, but if you want to go with popping a cherry. We're popping a cherry.
