Plenty to preview this weekend with the Rugby Championship back in action, AFL Grand Finals, NRL Preliminary Finals and of course the Ryder Cup.
Can't forget about the EPL either!

With punts on the lot of it, you don't want to miss this.
All this and more yarns in the Group Chat.

The news headline for the weekend is that Ryan Fox is a new Guinness World Record holder, with him, Min Woo Lee and Dan Bradbury completed 10 Par 3's in 3 minutes!
The Sharks pull off the upset in the NRL semi-finals, and Phil is saying it was more Doggy Doo Doo rather than the Panthers being scary.

100* up for the fellas, and hopefully they can celebrate with some winners over the weekend.
We have the New Zealand Women's Rugby team in a massive Semi-Final taking on Canada, the NRL Semi-Finals as well and then of course the Premier League and NFL.
They had some success last week on the punt. Can they replicate it again?
Tune in for their locks and laughs for the weekend's action. All this and more yarns in The Group Chat.

Phil is rather chipper this week on the back of that huge performance from the Springboks!
So what's wrong with New Zealand rugby?
The Wahs season comes to an end, but the finals arrived in style with the Raiders vs Broncos game making a case for game of the year!
Talk about arriving in style, some punters out there might be arriving to work in style too after some huge wins over the weekend!

The lads are back with their punting hats on with plenty to get stuck into!
The Rugby Championship, NRL Finals, EPL, you name it, the lads probably covered it.
What's the play for the Aussie v Argentina game in Sydney? What's Phil's move with the South African team being in town? We've seen them for coffee each day this week... is that a sign?
Need an NRL match preview - we got it.

After a massive weekend, the Eden Park streak stays alive, and both Charlie and Phil think it lived up to the hype.
The big question is, though, which game would you be heading to this weekend if you had the choice?
New Zealand vs South Africa at the CakeTin or Warriors vs Panthers at Mt Smart?
The Multi VS cashed again after a SNF pointfest, meaning the lads are two from their last three.

Back home, though, we have a huge game at Eden Park where the 50 game winning streak is up for grabs.
No Premier League this weekend, lucky we have the NPC to keep us occupied!
The lads run through their picks for the weekend, feel free to follow along or just use them as inspiration.

After quite possibly one of the worst weekends in South Africa's sporting history, we get to see how Phil is feeling... Add the fact that Manchester United lost at home on the opening weekend to rub a bit of extra salt in the wound.
New Zealand beat Argentina, and the Aussies ended a 62-year drought to kick-start The Rugby Championship.
The Warriors secured an important two points to stay in the top four.

The NRL is getting to the crunch time, while the Premier League is just about to start!
The boys dive into their top 4 predictions with just four rounds left, and whether or not the Wahs scrape in.
The La Liga is heading to the State... should the Premier League follow suit?
Like it or Love it (or Loathe it)... The Black Caps declare on 601/3???

The NPC is back, and the fellas run through their week 1 winners.
The Warriors are after a bounce-back win on Friday night, but they do have a good record against the Phins, so they should be hopeful.
They're hoping to see some more green ticks this weekend and started off strong with the Eels covering and a Waikato win last night. Their 50/22 & 40/20's, locks and laughs, and the ladder challenge are all in play for the weekend.
