The Wallaroos have finished the year in style, cleansweeping Scotland and farewelling Em Chance and Cee Smith.

Nick W and Nath talk their game against Scotland and their season at large - complete with end of year awards!

Now that we've had a few days to digest what happened we thought we could have a calm look at the game. And mostly we were… Mostly. Later we look ahead at the November tests.

As always, we hope you enjoy.

Well that was rough.

Nick W, Nick H and Nath chat the Wallabies loss to the All Blacks in Sydney, and are joined by Blake from the Rugby Report Card.

WARNING: naughty words but lets face it you're a Wallaby fan so you've been subjected to much worse.

Australian hopes have been crushed again but, Happy and I are still unbending in our support. 

Who am I kidding I folded like a cheap menu. What in store this week, I think more of the same but, Happy is more optimistic. 

As always, we hope you enjoy.

Fuck.

Nick W and Natho react.

Is this our best chance in years? I think it is but KARL thinks we're dreaming. There is nothing quite like Bledisloe cup week. Bring it on baby.

As always, we hope you enjoy.

The squad has just dropped, so let's gauge how we're feeling.

Chatting on Tuesday night, Nick H, Natho and Nick W feel nervous and calm (except about Marky Mark) as we head into the biggest fortnight of the year - the Bledisloe Cup series.

WARNING: No Finn Morton and a few swears.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Got a couple of pods coming this week cause stuff is happening.

First up, the true rugby sickos in Nick W and Natho chat pathways following the Western Force winning the Super Rugby AUS competition.

No swear words this week - yet.

We're pumped now!

The two Nicks shoot from the hip after the Wallabies prevailed 42-38 over the Springboks, including talking about the insane win and that rubbish final ten minutes.

WARNING: leave this one alone if you are a butthurt Bok fan.

It's Bok week, and Bok Twitter has come out swinging on Max Jorgensen.

Nick W, Nick H and Natho chew the fat on this weekend, how the Wallabies are doing under Kiss, the sitch in NZ, Super Rugby AUS and the Wallaroos tour.

WARNING: hope you're not easily offended by coarse language

Nick and Natho quickly dissect the 28-28 draw that graced us this morning.

Natho cowardly shies away from explaining what it's really like to kiss your sister.

Who needs backs?

The Wallabies are still to be beaten under Les Kiss, pulling out a 27-21 win over Los Pumas in Jujuy. Nick W and Natho discuss.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Waratahs have a coach, finally! Michael Cheika has signed for the 2027 season, with the option of extending a second year - but what can he do?

Nick H and Natho discuss what it means for Tahs fans - and then Nick W joins late to discuss the Wallaroos and other small news around planet Aussie rugby.

*This was recorded before the Wallabies squad to Argentina was dropped.

Are you not entertained!?

The Wallabies went crazy in Townsville, demolishing Japan 56-17. Nick W, Nath, Finn and Zac react!

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Wallabies have named their second team for Japan with Massimo De Lutiis set to become Wallaby 1000, and the Wallaroos have announced their head coach and squad ahead of their 100th Test match. Seems there is a theme.

Nick W returns from his time away from the mic to chew the latest news with Natho.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Less Kiss and his staff have rung the changes for the second test against Japan. How much is it squad rotation and how much is a changing of the guard? The all Blacks are in South Africa and the Springboks played Argentina, we cover them all and as always do some shouting at clouds. 

As always, we hope you enjoy.

Listen up!

The Joe Schmidt era has ended and Les Kiss and his team are now officially in charge of the show. Happy and I have a look at last weeks games. Reminisce about Schmidt time in charge and have a pretty close look at the first wallaby squad of Les Kiss's tenure.

Firstly, apologies for not recording last week, Sometimes life gets the better of you and last week was one of those times. This week we talk mostly about the Wallabies vs Italy game and some team the All Blacks are playing. We discuss Joe Schmidt's legacy in Australia and have a bitch about teams getting easy games when they should be travelling and squad announcements

As always, we hope you enjoy.

Where do we go from here? We don't bloody know.

Nick H and Nath give a reaction to Wallabies-France.

God, we're getting sick of talking about matches like this.

Our first instant reaction of the year, and it's a doozy, as the Wallabies, despite producing some of the best attacking rugby we've seen in years, still lost to Ireland 33-31 in same, last minute, heart breaking fashion.

What an end to the Super Rugby season! It'd be safe to say just about no one was expecting the Hurricanes to dominate so easily. 

This week we pull out the ledger and see how close our preseason prediction have been. Spend some time on the final and rate the teams based on where se thought they'd end up.

As always, we hope you enjoy.
