Episode Notes
Candace, Rob and Pearcey are back with all things rugby!
Diving into a massive week across rugby union and beyond. From Jo Yapp making history as the first-ever Women’s Lions Head Coach, to discussions around player welfare, HIA protocols and tackle technique following recent rugby league headlines- there’s plenty to unpack.
The crew also previews the upcoming 7s action in Valladolid, counts down to the World Rugby Junior Championship, and breaks down World Rugby’s new global strategy for the game.
Plus, Super Rugby delivers more referee talking points: yellow cards, line-out trends, captain communication, “Kids Round”.
Plus, the Investec Champions Cup final gets the full Play On Pod treatment- controversial moments, foul play, mullet grabs, diving over tacklers, Law of the week- 10.4c discussions, and confusion around a late yellow card all under the microscope (or not).
There’s also Stat Central milestones and Aussie appointments on the world stage.
