Week 16

Week 2 of the June test series and Scotty is back talking to Sean Maloney from Fox Sport in Australia.

Week 15

After a break last week Scotty Stevenson returns, this time with Aussie Fox Sports commentator Sean Maloney. The boys look ahead to this weekend's test matches including the hotly anticipated Wallabies Vs the English match and the All Blacks Vs Wales. There's much mirth and gentle as ribbing in a Rugby Pass Podcast quick fire round for Sean and a look at the South Africa/Ireland match this weekend. 

Week 13

He might be stuck in a meeting room with a phone and a cup of sparkling water, but Scotty Stevenson still brings the goods. This week he's chatting with All Blacks legend Grant Fox.

Fox is an All Black selector and with an incoming selection announcement due this weekend ahead of next month's three test series with Wales, Scotty tries to get to the bottom of what exactly a selcetor looks for and how they do their job. There's also a smidge of a hint for the announcement this weekend.

This week Scotty is joined by his old sidekick Mark Stafford to discuss the state of the Super Rugby competition as it screeches toward the international break.

Week 11

Host Scotty Stevenson is joined by Rugby Pass editor Hayden Donnell and The Spinoff's Duncan Greive to imagine a different Super Rugby. One with drafts, and trades and private ownership. Disaster – or the future? Listen to find out. Plus we look at the Hurricanes curfew situation, and decide whether it's fair to put grown men in the naughty chair for being out past their bedtime.

Week 10

This week Scotty Stevenson returns and is joined once again by Mark Stafford. They discuss the Crusaders having fun, the Highlanders struggle to recapture last season's enthusiasm and everything else on the Super Rugby agenda.

Week 9

This week Scotty Stevenson has a bye so Mark Stafford steps into Sumo's position. He's joined by Daniel Richardson, a writer, fomer journalist and commentator.

As well as looking ahead to week 9 of the Super Rugby competition (Scotty makes a surprising prediction), Staffy and Scotty discuss Daniel Carter and the All Blacks cracker night at the Laureus Sports Awards. They also have a gander at what looks to be a big weekend for the European club rugby semi finals.
