Fergus Lee-Warner and the Liquidators sounds like the name of a band, but it's our two guests this week as we look at the Rebels situation and catch up with one of the former Western Force stars now playing for the Tahs.

We catch up with the coach of the Perth Rams as they get ready to head to Rome for the Bingham Cup. Plus some interesting thoughts from Mitch on the whole academy system.

This was the best podcast in our five year history. Witty, fast paced,  intelligent analysis, informed opinion. Except I forgot to hit 'record' at the start. So here's a one man summary.

We review and preview Super Rugby and answer the question: Should the Wallabies play the All Blacks on Anzac Day. Plus some interesting stats about the number of players progressing from the Under 20s to the Wallabies.

A Rugby Wrap 'two for one special'. We chat with Wallaby great Jeremy Paul to hear his thoughts on Australian rugby and preview the Western Force SuperW semi final with coach Dylan Parsons. You might need to take the long route to work for this one. 

We had to record this one early so speculated about Drua suspensions and missed the dropping of Marky Mark, but we did cover Kurtley's signing with the Force. Plus the usual carry on.

We channel the great Cameron Shepherd as we review and preview the Super Rugby competition, and Mitch Hardy puts on his conspiracy theory hat to announce the new Waratahs coach. 

Former RA board member Geoff Stooke discusses the recently released 'Supporters of Australian Rugby Reform' paper. Plenty of points to digest. Plus we wrap up Round 5 of Super Rugby.

This week, we do what no sane person would do - we re-live the Force's game against Moana Pasifika. It was too distressing for Heath Tessmann to even consider, so he stayed away.

With the Super W starting this week, we catch up with Western Force Wallaroo Michaela Leonard to chat about the women's program at the Force, why it's attracting players from all over the world, and who the smokey is to win the comp. Plus the Mail Bag and Heath Tessmann.

Odd that Heath Tessmann can't make his own podcast but the CEO of the Western Force can get there early. Great to hear Niamh O'Connor's thoughts about the Force, where things are at, and what needs to be done to restore people's love of rugby. 

Great to catch up with Melbourne Rebels GM and former Wallaby, Nick Stiles, to talk a bit of rugby. Plus a review of Super Rugby Round 1 with special guest, Heath Tessmann.

We kick off season 5 with Western Force coach Simon Cron; an absent Heath Tessmann; and a new sponsor in leapstrategies.com.au  Simon speaks about the Force's strengths and weaknesses, how he'll judge the season, and some of the positives in the West. 

In this first and final episode of our Summer Edition series, we catch up with Aussie 7s star, Isabella Nasser, to get her thoughts on the Perth Sevens and what's in store in the lead up to Paris. Season 5 of the Rugby Wrap winter edition with MItch Hardy, Heath Tessmann and a brand new sponsor, launches Thursday February 22.

In the final episode for 2023, we record early to review the RWC, chat about Eddie and ask 'where to from here?' Wallaby #735 Mitch Hardy proposes a very interesting way to choose the next coach and we give the mail bag one last run. 

We put down the Aperol Spritz and Baguettes just long enough to share our thoughts on the World Cup, the Wallabies and the potential winners. Recorded live in Bordeaux.

This week, Wallaroo Michaela Leondard expands on the recent social media post highlighting the inequality between Australia's senior men's and women's teams, plus we look at the RWC warm up matches and the club Grand Finals.  Plenty to get your teeth into.

A very honest chat with Daniel Herbert, wallaby #715 and RA board member. Hear his views on why the current system is broken, the need for centralisation, and his thoughts on the infamous third tier. Plus Mitch questions the timing of the Australia A game v Portugal.   A bumper episode.

It seems everyone has an opinion on the Wallabies. We're no different.  Plenty of good stuff and plenty of questions as well.

A new competition structure for rugby in Perth has been proposed. Rugby WA President John Welborn explains. (Apologies for the poor sound. You think we'd have it right after more than 100 episodes, but sometimes it just doesn't happen.)

A quick review of the Super Rugby Pacific final and a look at the Wallabies squad. Plus the airing of some gripes. Really, it's bit of everything except Mitch Hardy.

If you sometimes forget the true meaning of 'grassroots', have a listen to Dean McKee from Wests-Scarborough RUFC. A great man who loves club rugby.

Out of 10, what score would you give the Western Force's 2023 season? See how you compare with coach Simon Cron, as he chats through the year that was and discusses what they'll build on for 2024.

Great to have former Wallaroo Bec Clough pop in for a chat about all things rugby. Nice to have Heath Tessmann pop in, too.
