About this episode
Sam Bruce and Christy Doran reflect on a massive week in Australian rugby, breaking down the decision to cut Melbourne Rebels from Super Rugby Pacific, why it is both the right and wrong call, and where the Rebels' best players might wind up in 2025; they then turn their attention to the Super Rugby quarterfinals and whether the Reds can become the first Aussie team to win a finals match in New Zealand; before they react to news of Mark Nawaqanitawase's omission from a Wallabies train-on squad and the stunning victory by the Australian women's sevens team in Madrid.
