ARU Media Release said:
The ARU today announced that Triple-M – part of Australia’s largest commercial radio network – will for the first time on FM Radio, provide Rugby fans in with a new Sunday morning Rugby show.

The one-hour dedicated Rugby show, aptly named ‘The Ruck’, will air every Sunday morning throughout the Super Rugby and Test Season delivering some of the best content in a Rugby fan’s week including high profile stars and the latest Rugby news and interviews.

‘The Ruck’, hosted by Tony Squires and former Wallaby legends Tim Horan and Matt Burke, will kick off this Sunday between 9am and 10am on Triple-M 104.9 Sydney, 104.5 Brisbane and MIX Canberra with podcasts of the show available on the Triple-M Melbourne and Mix 94.5 Perth websites www.triplem.com.au.

ARU Managing Director and CEO, John O’Neill said the introduction of ‘The Ruck’ on Triple-M was exciting news for Rugby fans across Australia.

“This is a big year for Rugby, it is the year that Rugby makes its move on the National and International sporting stage with a new expanded Super Rugby competition, the highly anticipated Tri Nations and the Rugby World Cup,” Mr O’Neill said.

“Having Triple-M - part of Australia’s largest commercial radio network - promoting and reporting Rugby for the first time on FM radio in the entertaining fashion that they’re known for is great news for our fans.

“With Tim, Matt and Tony hosting ‘The Ruck’ each week Rugby fans will be treated to a Sunday morning of Rugby news that they haven’t had before.”

‘The Ruck’ will be sponsored by Sportscraft, the formal wear supplier to the Qantas Wallabies.

Today’s announcement follows confirmation yesterday that the ARU had re-signed ABC Radio as an official Radio Broadcaster for Super Rugby and Qantas Wallabies Test matches for a further three years and news that Channel 9 will debut a one-hour Super Rugby highlights package on Tuesday night at Midnight.

This is awesome news as the Saturday Morning "Dead Set Legends" show in Brisbane has basically become an NRL show with Fatty Vautin and Ben Ikin hositing - 2 blokes who clearly know nothing about any sport other than league...

ARU has made some very astute deals there with Triple M and ABC radio!

I like the sound of this. It's good that they've gone with a couple of guys who already have a huge amount of credibility with rugby followers.

More exposure for our game so that's great but a 9am Sunday start is a bit rough.

You're talking about the 12am broadcast. Evidently thats only during the Cricket World Cup, it will move to Sundays prior to the Sunday NRL game from there on. Or so that is what someone on another site is telling everyone.

I can only relay what I have been told. Not saying I believe it myself, I'm more of the see it to believe kind. TBH it wouldn't surprise me if they did run it a week later. It is Channel Nine after all.

This show must be excellent for those with ADHD, but the tips for new dads - which so far include "drink coffee" and "watch a DVD"??

Its also good for people who want a 20 minute rugby radio show...

Edit: checked it out, 26 mins 55 seconds of substance, the rest is ads.

Sadly Guy Dobson (Triple M content director or whatever his title is) doesn't understand that people tune in for what is in between the songs and not for the music and constant promos.
He believes that if you talk too much people will switch to another channel.
If you look back at what happened to Tony Martin and his show Get This, it was MMM highest rating show but it still got axed because they would tow the stations line.
