    Lads I like your passion for rugby but I’d much rather listen to The Rugby Report Card. Try and be more like them if you want to improve.

    Always worth tuning in - one of the few pods that covers women’s rugby in-depth as well which is excellent to hear!

  • 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.

PREVIEW: Western Force v British and Irish Lions | A Scrumbags and Off the Ruck collab
Q: What can we expect to see from the tourists in their first hit out on Australian soil?
The Lions will likely play direct, using Finn Russell's kicking and passing skills to exploit any weaknesses.
PREVIEW: Western Force v British and Irish Lions | A Scrumbags and Off the Ruck collab
Q: What do you make of that decision?
It's bizarre and seems to be a risk for Harford at 10 when Donaldson could have played there instead.
The Lions are finally here!
Q: What changes do you expect to see in this Lions team?
I think it will be vastly different because you effectively are playing two games a week.
Les be honest, it’s Kiss … right?
Q: If Kissy gets announced this week as Wallaby's coach and then the Reds bomb and fail to make finals in that hypothetical, what kind of impact would that have?
I don't see them bombing and not making finals from where they sit.
Les be honest, it’s Kiss … right?
Q: Do you actually know a date and time that the Wallaroos squad might be dropped?
No, there's so much in the air at the moment regarding rugby news.
