About this episode
Kalyn Ponga discusses his recovery and future in rugby, alongside various sports topics and debates.
Kalyn Ponga joins the crew this week — opening up on his hamstring recovery, State of Origin availability, the new disruptor rule, pledging allegiance to the Kiwis, and whether the mullet era is incoming. Connor Watson is also firmly in the NRL soap opera spotlight with his contract future up in the air. Meanwhile Marc Ellis rocks up 20 minutes late, the great "mountaineering" debate gets settled (or does it?), Carlos Ulberg's incredible one-legged UFC title win, Warriors fans going absolutely off, and Sport of Social delivers once again.
