    Ep. 160 - Can the Wallabies end the All Blacks Eden Park fortress? with Daryl Gibson

    The Wallabies are on the verge of potentially something special. The All Blacks have a 51-Test, 31-year unbeaten streak at Eden Park, and Australia have not won there since 1986 - but this is an Aussie team with a live opportunity, especially given that they are currently sitting on top of The Rugby Championship. Christy Doran and Matt To'omua are joined by former All Blacks player and Waratahs coach Daryl Gibson to talk about his journey from rugby coaching to his current role with New Zealand cricket, as well as preview the important Bledisloe Cup - and how genuine are Australia's chances?

    Ep.159 - Stop the count! Wallabies lead TRC after crazy weekend, Bledisloe next, JOC future, Wallaroos out of RWC - with Will Genia

    Will Genia was one of Australia's greatest scrumhalves, finishing his career as the seventh most capped Wallaby of all time with 110 Tests across his ten-year international career. Now he is helping good mate Quade Cooper in a coaching role in Japanese rugby. The former Wallabies scrumhalf joins Christy Doran and Matt To'omua to discuss the Aussies on top of the Rugby Championship despite the Argentina loss, THAT controversial forward pass that could have huge ramifications on the competition, as well as a technical breakdown of Australia's halves situation and James O'Connor's role in the side - and most importantly, what are Australia's Bledisloe chances amid NZ's form?

    Ep.158 - 'Honest' Wallabies pip Argentina, ABs withstand Boks fightback - with Matt Taylor

    Australia came from behind to post their second victory of the Rugby Championship in dramatic style, turning down three game-tying penalties against Argentina to score the winning try in the 86th minute, as the All Blacks maintained their Eden Park fortress, downing the Springboks. Christy Doran and Matt To'omua are joined by Matt Taylor from Japan, where he is currently in his fourth year on the coaching staff at Ricoh Black Rams. Formerly part of the Wallabies setup, he helps analyse both Rugby Championship games and some of the trends he is noticing from the current-day setup.

    Ep.157 - A walk down memory lane with Ian Foster as Wallabies prepare to host Pumas, NZ to defend fortress

    There are few more experienced coaches and rugby minds in the world than Ian Foster, who had a highly successful stint as coach of New Zealand over 46 Tests for 32 wins. 'Fozzie' joins Christy Doran and Matt To'omua as a special guest from Japan, where he has just started preseason with Toyota Verblitz. The former All Blacks coach recalls some highs and lows of his time as NZ coach, with special insight into Joe Schmidt as the boys preview the two huge Rugby Championship games this weekend; the Wallabies to host the Pumas and New Zealand trying to defend Eden Park fortress from the Springboks.

    Ep.156 - Wallabies pipped, Pumas beat All Blacks to leave TRC wide open

    In 12 months, the Wallabies have gone from being embarrassed to earning the respect of the world - and that was proven by Australia's performance in South Africa across the two matches. Christy Doran and Matt To'omua discuss how much the Wallabies have improved, despite a mounting injury toll, and their chances of winning silverware, given how close The Rugby Championship stands this year. But they will have to do it without Will Skelton who's headed back to France, as the Kiwis stumble in Argentina and the Wallaroos get their World Cup of to a successful start.

    Ep.155 - The Wallabies take down the world champions - can they do it again?

    How good is it to be talking about Australian rugby in a positive light? The drought-breaking victory over the world champion Springboks at Ellis Park has given the sport across the country plenty of enthusiasm and hope. Christy Doran and Matt To'omua break down how the Wallabies were able to inspire such a turnaround from 22 points down and what the response is going to be from South Africa, who were left totally embarrassed by the performance. Both sides are battling injuries heading into Game 2, but the win has allowed Joe Schmidt's side to dream of really challenging for the Rugby Championship... and maybe even the Bledisloe!

    Ep.154 - Can the Wallabies snap their 62-year drought at Ellis Park?

    The Springboks team has been named, and master coach Rassie Erasmus is up to his usual tricks, choosing to name his squad 72 hours before he had to in an attempt to put the Wallabies off. Christy Doran and Matt To'omua discuss the tactics needed from the Wallabies against the World Champions in The Rugby Championship opener and just how Joe Schmidt's men can break down such a strong side. Also, the All Blacks welcome back Richie Mo’unga in New Zealand colours for the clash with Argentina, the Wallaroos arrive in England ahead of the Women's World Cup and can the rebel R360 competition be good for the game?
