The Rugby Pod

This week on The Pod, Jim, Goodey, Bigs dive into a massive opening weekend of the Quilter Nations Series — red cards, redemptions, and peroxide-blond hair. England made it eight wins on the bounce with a dominant bench-inspired victory over Australia, with Borthwick building his own “Bomb Squad.” Ireland meanwhile, were left reeling after a controversial red card and second-half collapse against the All Blacks in Chicago, while Scotland and South Africa both flexed with huge wins over the USA and Japan respectively. Plus, Wales and Lions winger Josh Adams joins the show to chat about life in camp, the mood under Steve Tandy, and where Wales are going into some massive games with World Cup qualification implictions. Plenty of laughs this week as the lads are on great form after their US trip.
