A SUPER Rugby Preview (Part 1) with Sean Maloney

Season 1, Ep. 3
•

From the studio that brought you "Pick & Drive" comes a new rugby podcast - SCRUMBAGS!


Hosted by "Pick & Drive" co-founder Mitch Foster and Aussie rugby journalist Lachie Grey, SCRUMBAGS casts its undeserving eye over the Wallabies, Wallaroos, Sevens and Super Rugby scene with a rotating roster of guests including "Pick & Drive" co-founder Mark "Ando" Anderson + players, coaches and those in the know.


It’s Broadcast Week for SCRUMBAGS and that means a two-parter with the legends from Stan Sport (and a few special guest hosts)!


Part 1 welcomes lead Stan caller and Between Two Posts host Sean Maloney alongside Rugbypass and Roar scribe John Ferguson to chat all things 2025, including January’s hot topics and a full team-by-team Aussie Super Rugby Pacific breakdown.
