The Squidge Rugby World Cup Retrospective
2007 #2 - Australia 91-3 Japan (with Draft Rugby's Harry & Nelson Dale)
Season 4, Ep. 2
•
Harry and Nelson Dale from Draft Rugby fulfil their regular slot on the pod to watch Australia take Japan to the cleaners. Amongst a feast of tries, we find time to talk about Bernard Foley's balls, controversial jumpers, Sterling Mortlock at karaoke and the surprising similarities between Yuki Yatomi and David Bowie.
Thanks to Nelson (@nelsonhdale on Twitter) and Harry (@harrisondale88) for joining us once again. You can find the Draft Rugby (@draftrugby) podcast on all pod platforms, covering all things Australian rugby.
Standing in as our theme tune today is a sample of Jean Michael Jarre's "Industrial Revolution Part 2" - the official theme tune of the 2007 World Cup.
