But, I’m not going to stop you talking about those games in the comments; in fact, I’d love it. So, what will I write about? I’m interested in the news that falls through the cracks each week. I’m hoping to pick up the odd bit of news that comes in after Hoss’s marathon news-gathering efforts on Fridays. If that…

Karl and Happy talk all things Super Rugby Pacific Round 15. You can now also listen on YouTube. If you have a question for anyone on the podcast, please send it to sully@greenandgoldrugby.com

Welcome to the Weekend Edition. Today we look at keeping younger players in our game and showing them a path to the Wallabies and long term careers. I have a bit of a moan about the marketing of our game. There’s an update on the Rebels together with some news about Angus Bells’s latest injury. And a plug for the Dropped Kick Off’s interview with Jack Debreczeni. Home Truths from Les Kiss Over at the SMH Nick Wright writes about “Les Kiss imploring the game’s leaders to ensure young players still see a path to Wallabies success.” Les has got…

Sully, Karl and Happy talk about their highlights from last weekend’s rugby, take you through all the team changes and their predictions for round two, and try out a new segment called “What’s the best and or worst thing about rugby at the moment?”.

Someone gave Happy, Karl, and myself microphones and access to the internet…and we recorded it! Don’t expect a superbly polished poddy like the TRRC or The Dropped Kick off, this is three old guys trying to figure out how things work and talking about round one of Super Rugby.

Green & Gold Rugby regular Stephen Tremain travelled to Roma on the weekend to check out all the action from the festival. We thought we’d highlight the photos he has graciously sent us to use on the site. Happy also went for the weekend, but all we got was a few fuzzy images off his phone.
