ICYMI - 🎤 #PlayOnPod Drop!🎧
It may be a (relatively) quiet week in our rugby world, but we still found plenty to chat about, including:
🏉 Player load guidelines
🏉 Can you believe what these referees did?
🏉 A listener question about seatbelt tackles
🏉 The final round of The Rugby Championship

Ah-ha! You learn something new every day - I didn't know Cairns had other colours, which is why I was confused.
She looks delightful fun.
Summer cut Stig sends licks and sniffs.
A warm welcome to Morag! She looks like loads of fun - perhaps she will chase rabbits instead of chooks!
I couldn't quite ID the breed, though - do tell.
A very good point and an even better question.

Please tell me the puppy story!
I see what they did there.

➡ A listener quiz
And so much more...

Wallabies Win Welcomes Wallaroos World Cup Weekend!
16th August 2025 - remember that date - a milestone for the Wallabies and Australian rugby.
But not so good for Pearcey - he takes a deep dive into what happened.

16th August 2025.
Remember that date. I most certainly will.
A milestone birthday gift for the ages. 🙏 @wallabies

But in the here and now, it represents our next guest - one of the top referees in the world, who, even as we speak, is on her way to the Rugby World Cup.
We speak with Ella about her rugby journey, preparing for a World Cup, and plenty more besides.

Ella! Ella! Ella!
It's a refrain that evokes many a memory for rugby fans, and quite possibly others as well (yes - we're looking at you @rihanna fans).
