Sports talk with old-school bite.
Millsy & Guy keeps a brisk afternoon-radio rhythm: quick jokes, direct questions, and sports talk that happily wanders before snapping back. Rugby leads the room, but basketball, league, supercars, stats, and long-form athlete interviews all get time.

Millsy & Guy is afternoon sports radio with rugby in its bloodstream and enough side roads to keep the hour moving. It is quick on its feet. A Super Rugby preview can start with Blues and Highlanders form, turn into All Blacks selection signals, and still leave room for a jab about local loyalties. The show likes matchups. First fives, halfbacks, hookers, loose forwards, midfield combinations, and return-from-injury stories all become talking points, especially when the next national squad might be shaped by them. It also keeps league close by, with Warriors expectations, Cowboys-Manly history, Gold Coast Titans structure, and weekend NRL tips sliding naturally into the mix. Basketball gets serious treatment too. Burton Shipley’s appearance opens up New Zealand pathways, European competition, NBA defence, the Olympics, and how winning changes a sport’s public energy. The interview episodes give the show a different weight. Taine Randell’s conversation moves from school and early sport into All Blacks captaincy, media pressure, and the difficulty of doing the job while carrying everyone else’s expectations. Sir Michael Jones brings a deeper, more reflective tone, talking about rugby family, faith, hard work, injury, amateur-era memories, and the people around him. Scott Sattler gives the practical inside view of building a football department at the Gold Coast Titans. Joe Wheeler brings colour, bias, and proper analysis to a Highlanders-Blues preview. The regular texture is still banter. There are jokes, interruptions, racing asides, stat segments, and mock-serious weekend rankings. The show is not polished into blandness. Its appeal is the mix: informed questions, live-radio looseness, old rugby memory, and guests who are allowed to tell the longer version.
Made for: For listeners who follow rugby closely but also want NRL, basketball, racing, stats, and weekend sport in the same lively feed. It especially suits fans who enjoy informed banter more than formal analysis.
What sets it apart: The show pairs pub-table tempo with access to sports voices, letting guests move beyond headlines into pressure, faith, injury, and sporting culture. It can be cheeky without losing the thread.

A candid rugby conversation about captaincy, pressure, and perspective.
Taine Randell's story moves from Flaxmere to Lindisfarne and then into the pressure of leading the All Blacks. The best part is how plainly he talks about talent, selection, and captaincy, especially when leadership starts pulling attention away from his own game.
A rugby life shaped by family, faith, and the long view of the game.
Sir Michael Jones traces a rugby life formed early, inside a family and community where the game was part of daily life. He speaks plainly about his father dying when he was four, the support of his mother and wider family, and the habits of faith, hard work, and discipline that…
