WSotR B-Sides E3 - Scrum Back Where We Started

About this episode

The episode features a chaotic discussion about rugby, focusing on scrums and ex-All Black players, with a humorous tone and no clear direction.

Grab a spot on the couch as we work to somehow right this ship and proudly come in with absolutely no plan, no prep, and no intention of fixing that. What started as a return to Japan, a full-circle moment back to Episode 1, quickly turns into us questioning how this whole thing ever worked in the first place. MXC didn’t pan out, this did, and we’re still not convinced that makes sense. We talk ex-All Black 9s like TJ Perenara and Aaron Smith and Tocco confidently discovers in real time that Verblitz and “Blitzkrieg Bop” are not, in fact, the same thing. Mullets are flowing, islander bleach-blonde chaos is thriving, and we keep dragging the conversation back to the scrums like it’s the only thing holding this together. This one is even less analysis and somehow more nonsense. Just like your favorite B-Side old boys; all chaos, all scrums, and mostly wrong. Welcome to the B-Side, we think you'll like it here.
