In our final podcast for 2024, we catch up with Classic Wallaby Matt Cockbain to chat the Classics, coaching pathways and where he sees the Wallabies. Plus a big mail bag. Huge thanks to Leap Strategies and all our listeners for your support.

EARLY RELEASE. This week we catch up with the Super Rugby Commissioner, Carolyn Turnbull, to talk about the structure for next year, the future of Super Rugby and the effort WA has made to secure big rugby events for Perth.

The good news is, we talk about a cracking RugbyWA grand final. The bad news is, we also talk about the Wallabies.

While Heath Tessmann suns himself on a beach at Coral Bay, Mick Colliss and Mitch Hardy look at the recent internationals, the local grand finals and the winners at the RugbyWA awards breakfast.

After a break, two of us are back to just shoot the breeze, talk a bit of Wallabies and have a look at the local scene. Bar room rugby chat. 

In this week's episode we shoot the breeze about a possible Wallabies line up and hint at another salacious rumour in the mailbag. (Apologies for some of the sound issues.)

Great to catch up with fan favourite Ian Prior to chat about the Force and his recent international appearance with Zimbabwe. What a champion. Plus the rumours fly thick and fast in the mailbag. 

We wrap up of the internationals, look at club rugby and ponder the ramifications if the Brumbies play some games in Melbourne. With thanks again to our sponsor, Leap Strategies.

Simon Cron, Western Force coach, joins us to review the 2024 season and explain what needs to happen for next year. Plus we spread a salacious rumour about Super Round and present the Rugby Wrap Annual Awards.

A quick review of the semis, a quick preview of the Final and some good chat in the mail bag about certain players being sent to the Sevens program.

This is  good ep, if I do say so myself. RA Chairman Daniel Herbert talks through the Rebels, the financial situation and what the board is focusing on for the next 6 months.  We shoot the breeze about the 7s, and Mitch and Heath pick...

We shoot the breeze with Western Force Wallaroo Sammy Wood and take a look at the final round of Super Rugby.

DC gone, NZRU splintering, Ronan Leahy to debut for the Force.  We missed them all because we had to record early. We also missed Heath Tessmann.

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...

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 M...

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.
