Loved listening to this...

Tom and Georgina have taken us ‘round Japan - on trains, in stair wells, in kitchens, in bars, at Stadiums, and all with good humour and quality analysis. Just loved it. Thank you SMH!

The best rugby podcast

Quite simply the best rugby podcast (and I subscribe to a lot).

Unlike the Wallabies, this podcast series deserved to last beyond the Quarters! 😊

G&T provide insights into what happens at the pressers, team camps, and training sessions. Unbiased and thoughtful podcast that’s more about Rugby brains and no chest beating rantings that you’ve come to expect from the other ex player type of podcasts.

Please run this weekly post RWC to focus on leadership and structural changes coming within RA, our new coach search, and other on and off field happenings across the Australian Rugby landscape.

Great work!

LOL

Aussie Rugby. They always do the same thing, sack the coach.
It’s not the coach. It’s the entrenched school boy Rugby Aussie always plays.
The way the Aussie’s play the fundamental game its self, is always the same.
The layers of how to play this game is developed from the school grounds, the way of not to play the game is removed at schoolboy level
Aussies don’t understand that. They carry the poor performance all their Rugby lives. Aussie will always be brides maids for years to come if the school boy level is not changed with coach’s at this level not proactively training dos and donts and the game truely understood. Sacking a coach is a weak excuse and always has been in my books.
RUGBY AUSTRALIA CANT READ PAST DATA CORRECTLY.
