  • Typifies everything wrong with Rugby in Australia

    Stuffy, know it all private school boys. There is clear passion for the sport but the boys have the personality of cardboard and are as insufferable as a dry wheetbix suppository.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Super Rugby Finals Preview with Dane Sherratt (Kick On)
Q: Which team should Australians be most hopeful about for next season, and why?
The Reds showed potential and depth at times, with standout performers stepping up, suggesting they could build on this foundation; however, consistency remains a challenge across the season, so targeted recruitment and player development will be key.
Super Rugby Finals Preview with Dane Sherratt (Kick On)
Q: What went wrong for the Waratahs this season, and what could be done to bridge the gap to Super Rugby level?
The Waratahs suffered from a combination of coaching changes, injuries, and a disconnect between strong club-level players and the top-tier squad, with depth issues in the front row and consistent 10s hampering execution; a clearer spine and deeper rotation could help stabilize performance next year.
Extra Time Special with Maya Stewart
Q: What drew Maya to train with the Sevens squad and how has the transition been so far?
Maya explains she joined the Sevens setup after her World Cup, focusing on rehab and building the body before stepping into training with Walshy's group; she emphasizes the value of bringing together 15s and Sevens to strengthen the national program.
Extra Time: Western Force Media Blitz
Q: How does the back line feel about the upcoming season with so much depth?
It's very exciting; the competition for starting spots is intense and drives performance.
Extra Time: Western Force Media Blitz
Q: How is the integration of new players going?
They are fitting in well, and their diverse backgrounds enhance team dynamics.
