- Brett - please stop!
Sorry but I’m going to have to unsubscribe. Great content but Brett talking over the top of Harry is doing my head in.

Podchaser52 years agoThe 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast- Brilliant!
Great guests and chemistry between Brett and Harry. Crazy that you’ve only just met face to face for the first time!
I love that you guys are trying to find the fun in rugby, even when teams are not going well or you’re discussing negative things (like the state of Australia rugby…). At the end of the day we watch rugby to have fun and have a laugh.
I love the test post mortems as they are generally different to the normal discussions.
Apple Podcasts5Mewsie24Australia2 years ago - A must listen
The 8/9 Combo is one of two rugby podcasts I simply won’t miss.
The quality of guest is excellent and the depth of discussion is unique.
It’s interesting, entertaining and, crucially, avoids the inane “banter” sometimes engaged in by rugger buggers.
Give it a shot.
