This was good gear from Willie Mason too.

Always thought he was a dopey slackjaw, but good to see the positivity about the Wallabies and rugby in general - and paid the team its dues. He also said something that the mungo acolytes never do - 'rugby is hard'.. Thank you big willie.

Willie would know - after all he was a "Brad Thorn wannabe" for Toulon for about 5 minutes in 2011.

Sky Italia show all the internationals, a wee surprise given rugby hardly exists here outside the north. Italian commentators are biased but in the least offensive way. There's a joyful innocence. Back in the dark days, when Italy beat Scotland in Rome, they were in tears.

I would love a ball in play short of the games. Would allow all the action in about 35-45 mins

They have that now - it's a 1 hr replay with some of the pre and post game. Just introduced for the Spring tour I think.

Haven't checked it out but the Stan app is a dream for skipping through games. I can watch a game in depth, within an hour or slightly less in depth in 40 minutes. Skipping through with the remote is easy as too.

I've actually reached my peak corporate stooge life, finally mounted my bike in the living room on a trainer, so I can ride and yell at the Wallabies at the same. Really efficient because my HR is so depressingly high already from the stress, the calories burned are crazy for a game and I don't even notice I'm exercising... Waiting on the Wallabies to release a bib in green & gold to match my green & gold RMs.

This is a deep insight into your life :D

some minor news, the KOKO show has reached 50k+ subscribers on youtube. They're doing really well and tbh I think it's all down to the prof. The boys are funny but he brings another level of humour and professionalism. It's probably one of the most successful rugby podcasts at the moment and a positive bit of Aus rugby atm.

It must have got better.

renowned orators Quade and Sonny Bill are starting a podcast.
Impossible.

Systems indicate that if SBW has 30 seconds of airtime to fill as a sideline comm he's descended into inanities within just 5 seconds and then still has 25 excruciating seconds to fill with his patented brand of torpid turgidity. The fuck is he supposed to talk about for a 3-hour podcast.

Curious, what didn't you like about it?

It has gotten better to your point though.

Personally I like shows/podcasts that aren't planned down to the letter of a run sheet. Few topics sure, but then let everyone riff and if goes off path that's where a lot of the funny stuff happens. Pardon My Take, Pat McAfee, Bussin' With the Boys, Club Shay Shay all do it and are the most popular types.

It’s just a bunch of lads chatting, which is what I like. It makes the guys relatable and come across like they’d be great to have a beer with.

Rugby has some dull content at times and other sports and markets thrive off some generic fluff with some of their sport involved. We need some personalities in our game, which is something rugby in almost all markets seriously lack.

The whole Inside Rugby thing is done I think. Some people like that but it's all set up, planned to a clock and overall not very enticing to bring up in your own time. I use to watch it but because I knew when it was on and you sat down. These sorts of podcasts are perfect to have on anytime. One of the few ways you can actually make a none fan a peripheral fan of a sport if they catch a random funny clip on social media of something completely off topic.
