Who would dominate a World Club Championship? North or South?

Season 6, Ep. 16
•

The ARP crew get into the proposed World Club Championship. What might hold it back from happening? Who would dominate if it happened this year?


We also get into what led to the Chiefs tearing up Moana Pasifika and who will top the table. Should Leroy Carter be an All Black, is Fabian Holland a shoo-in at lock and why is Jorja Miller a game changer for the Black Ferns?


Aotearoa Rugby Pod is brought to you by Ashley and Martin Medical Hair Centres.
