Special Guest Harry Wilson, Midseason Report Card & Wallaby Watch
Q: What are your thoughts on Zach Lomax making his rugby debut for the Western Force—what should fans expect in his first game and how should Cronie manage him?
Expect cautious but optimistic early involvement; keep it simple, use his speed, manage the line speed and defensive structure, and give him a window to showcase his athleticism while staying mindful of risk.

Q: Harry, we'd love to get your perspective on the Reds this season—are you happy with where the team sits at four and two, or is there still a big room for improvement?
