  • Great show but skim the negativity

    Really love this show. Also love the website. But putting this review up because Tony Harper really hurts this show. Darby Lancaster played against Georgia and had a showing that was okay. He will build. To say that a new player had his last game as a Wallaby is everything that is wrong with Australian rugby. DMac played poorly against Australia last year.

  • Love the pod but Protect your brand!

    You’ve built such a good brand with this pod Brett and Harry, don’t let Christy trash it with tone-deaf statements in the vein of McLennan telling Roar readers to go elsewhere if they don’t like content. Poor form and not reading the room at all in present circumstances.
