Episode 44 - First Blood to Lions as Wallabies Flop - Russell Leads, Curry Seethes

The Rugby Pod

This week on The Rugby Pod, the lads dive into a stormy weekend of rugby. They break down the Lions 27–19 bashing against a very average Wallabies team in Brisbane, questioning the Aussie preparation, selections, and desire. We also look at some big performances from Tadhg Beirne and Tom Curry and whether Farrell might look to make some changes as they expect a big backlash in Melbourne. The lads react to the Lions' midweek team to face the First Nations & Pasifika XV, and speculate on squad rotation ahead of the second test. Elsewhere, England extend their win streak to seven after battering the USA 40–5 in a delayed, beer-fuelled and stormy Washington D.C. Wales finally appoint Steve Tandy as head coach, and the Springboks, All Blacks, and Gregor Brown all make headlines. Plus, your last chance to win a VIP watch along with Lawrence Dallaglio and details on an upcoming live show in Sydney with Alun Wyn Jones.
