AUS Rugby scene: Coin flips & brotherly bragging rights with Jamie Wall

About this episode

Brett McKay discusses the upcoming AUS Rugby matches with guest Jamie Wall, focusing on predictions and analysis of the games.

New Zealand rugby writer and fellow Substacker Jamie Wall joins Brett McKay on the AUS Rugby scene this week, with the curiosities of a short round over a long weekend quickly fading with the arrival of some stonking contests this weekend. If Round 8 felt a bit one-sided, Round 9 will be anything but, with at least three games looming as genuine coin-flip contests. Are the Drua still so invincible at home? What money a golden point draw between the ‘Canes and Blues? And surely the Reds have to bounce back, right?
