Bit of a special episode this one, as it's not often Hughesy and Luke can focus on only one topic for 45 minutes but they've done their best here. Australia Rugby has been a rollercoaster in 2023 and we thought why not deep dive into A) how we got here and B) what went right/wrong?

The Super Rugby Squads have been named and though the format was sound, could more have been done to hype this up? Plus we discuss Who to beat, Who’s rebuilding and Who missed out. We also deep dive into Rugby Australia Centralization Battle, and finally test out our resident Wallabies fan's World Cup Knowledge, does he take home the cup or fall out in the group stages...

As the dust settles on the Rugby World Cup we get the opportunity to put of well trained eyes to the test and grade the team's performances! From An A+++ to an F- who do we think was successful and who shat the bed. All this plus the Coaching Carousal and women's Rugby!

I've given Hughesy a couple of weeks off to contemplate the fact that Wallabies have shat the bed... He has come back with little Rage but a whole lot of Focus. He gives us a rundown of what is next in Wallaby Land! Plus we chat about Super Rugby and the teams that are more than likely still in the Rugby World Cup.

Ahhhh What a difference a week can make aye... The Wallabies half of this podcast on their knees while the All Blacks find a new love in Cam Roigard. But above all else what a bloody week for the Flying Fijians.

The first week of The Rugby World Cup has gone down as a disaster for one of us and a great success for the other, so the All Blacks fan has created a Master Plan. He is transforming into the most extraordinary secret spy there is and doing all he can to get the All Blacks back on track even moving countries. We also wrap up all the games, talk about bench splits, drop goals and overreact to that wild (or scripted) first week.

But elsewhere, warm-up games were played, the French lose a playmaker, A pre World Cup fashion show, Luke's still not happy with the squad naming set up and finally, Luke digs into why you should...

Hughesy takes a 1 - 0 lead within The Sports Booth Bledisloe Competition but that doesn't mean he's happy with the Wallabies selections, nor is this All Blacks supporter.
