Don't Talk About (Waratahs) Fight Club

Season 2, Ep. 1

League converts, training brawls and pre-season chaos - rugby's back and so are the Scrumbags!


2026 has started with a bang, leaving Mitch and Lachie scrambling to catch up on all the off-season summer madness.


Where does NRL powerhouse Angus Crichton fit into the Wallabies picture? How did the MCG miss out as a host venue for the 2027 RWC? And who's the rat inside Daceyville leaking to the media - including training cam footage?


The boys also talk injury news, a bit of Aussie french flair and ponder whether Joe Schmidt or Dave Rennie end up as the next All Blacks coach?


All that and more on the Scrumbags Rugby Podcast - your one-stop shop for everything Aussie rugby.
