4.5 out of 5 stars from 40 ratings
  • Atkinson loves the sound of his own voice

    Atkinson sounds like an entitled toff. Unprepared, doesn’t do his research and always makes smart alec comments.

    Would be fantastic if the podcast was just Worthington and Payten.

  • Best Aussie Rugby News Pod going ‘round

    Always informative and good natured. The best Aussie Rugby pod for off-field news and how to get the game into better health in Australia. Extra bonus is having a bunch of my own opinions coming out of Atko’s mouth which means he’s really smart (and humble like me).

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

New Look Wallabies for Italian Job
Q: Why are we struggling so much to compete in the air?
The Wallabies have been underperforming in the air due to a lack of tracking back in contests and not engaging enough in the space around the ball.
New Look Wallabies for Italian Job
Q: Do the Wallabies look tired from an emotional aspect?
It is an emotional ride, especially after significant events like the Lion series, which can be taxing for players.
New Look Wallabies for Italian Job
Q: How do we look so good one week, then not the next?
It's very hard to back it up in the modern test match arena, particularly with the amount of rugby being played, which makes consistency challenging.
Spotlight on 10 as Bledisloe Nears
Q: Do you think the AUS public and AUS media criticise our young tens too much?
Yes, they often face harsher criticism compared to players in other positions, which can stunt their growth and confidence.
Spotlight on 10 as Bledisloe Nears
Q: Is there any chance James O'Connor can play Bledisloe given he left for the UK?
His availability is unlikely due to logistical challenges, although Leicester granted him permission to stay in the UK if needed.
