The Lions are rolling into Melbourne for the Second Test — and the Wallabies are fighting to keep the series alive.
David Pembroke is joined once again by Eddie Jones and Ewen McKenzie for a fast-paced and honest conversation about everything on (and off) the field.
They ask the big questions:
Why has rugby struggled in Melbourne, a city that lives and breathes sport? What went wrong with the Rebels? And what can the Wallabies learn from the AFL about building real community support?
Then it’s onto Saturday night. The boys break down the matchups, the wet weather forecast, and how Australia can shake off another slow start. Expect talk of smart kick-offs, big carries, bold selections — and why bringing on Owen Farrell late could be a Lions masterstroke.
There’s also no holding back on the TMO. Too many stoppages. Too much confusion. Is it killing the flow of the game?
And what about leadership? With no nailed-on Wallabies captain, who’s steering the ship when it matters most?
This episode is about more than one match — it’s about pride, pressure, and how Australia can fight back. Because if the Wallabies don’t show up in Melbourne… the series is over.
