😢world.caught up with the Aussie BS .no one cares . certainly if the shoe was on the other foot they wouldn't care .😢For years we had to hear about their propogada.Covid saved us all from the aussies😮😮
Great pod as always fellas. As an englishman living in Sydney i love taking my sons to the tahs and Australian rugby can easily get back to the glory days. What it needs is fellas like you doing this drawing people back to watching the super games and bringing money back into the game. Then its up to RA not to spunk it against the wall! If the people trust the administration then they wont mind paying the money! Looking forward to the shirts.
The Fact Gitts got confused between leany forward, and leany back says a lot. Drew mate, good on ya, it's the questions you've been waiting to ask, well done, we rugby fans, all of us, deserve answers to them, tip my hat to ya. I'm keen as for this year, was at an event where Joe was speaking, I came away with the feeling he wasn't about to retire, and there was something he couldn't tell us, nek Minit. Classy games in the Supers, competitive and exciting rugby, the real strength of southern hemisphere rugby is it's speed of play and intensity, and I watched England bump the work rate up against the Irish and force a win, just saying. Is the fact you guys drop just after the Aotearoa rugby pod intentional, or just another sign god is a rugby fan? Thanks team. Still waiting for my shirt.
I love this show it makes me excited about everything going on in Aussie rugby. Les Kiss is going to do great things with Reds and hopefully Wallabies when his turn comes along
Extra 👍👍 to Drew giving a shoutout to the 50 cap women's sevens legends; love it when he drops that little bit extra rugby knowledge in. I believed in Phil Waugh as a player so hopefully he puts RA on a good path. Les Kiss an interesting listen and always keen on the Reds doing well - weird this week with them facing the Rebels and Salakaia-Loto, Daugunu and Tupou; players who did some good things for the Reds.
I was at Suncorp for the Reds game, first super rugby game watched live! Great stadium and competitive game. One thing I would say about watching live vs watching on the screen at home, not hearing what the ref is saying in the stadium is one thing I believe should change. The ref has such a big influence on the game, like it or not, and for the crowd it's hard to know what is happening, especially if it's happening on the other side of the field from where you're sitting. I think this will bring more people to the stadium as well, hearing the interaction with the refs and players will get the crowd going and more into the action between the obvious tries and big tackles.
I have been to All RWCs since 2003 and back then you could buy at the ground a little radio which broadcast using an earpiece the ability to hear the commentary or Ref or commentator in one ear and Ref in the other.. NOW… 20 years later AND EVERYBODY HAS A PHONE…. There is zero interest by a tech Co reach into this space… for a fee.. I’d Definitely pay for this inside running on the field…
If you had told me 2 years ago I would be following a Stralya footy show, I wouldn't have believed it! What I like and respect about you guys, is that you can be loose and unorthodox, but still fair, ethical & professional with your comments. Love your work. 🏴 (but love Matt Giteau's mohawk more)
I come to you from South Africa, I must say I'm pleased to see Phil Waugh leading the way. I believe with the right people with him he has the ability to get Australia back where they should be in world rugby. Go Phil
Hey boys Best pod of all rugby pods But hey can biv talk us through the 2015 final when bb scored a run away try it might be bit controversial but I know he will like it From what I’ve found he was tripped Hopefully he can confirm this Love the show boys
Drew COMPLETELY nailed that tough question/comment on how these boys played for free and the SUITS flew 1st class… that is how CLASSY the players are and how CLUELESS and CLASSLESS management were… let’s hope this review reveals a new era…!
Superb. Irish woman here with a huge interest in all things Aus (also Joe Schmidt) , I'm fascinated to see the state of things over the past 5/6 years and looking forward to see them getting back on track.
Not sure what made me think of this (maybe it was the Waugh Brothers connection and Schmidting it in) but Billy Birmingham would be a classic guest if he’s still kicking around.
Glad I've found you guys again! From a pom, you are a lot better than the posh daddy's boys over on the good bad & the ugly. If I could sponsor you I would!
I dare say this comparison but Les Kiss talking about the jersey and locker room reminds me so much of Allblack culture. Really has that coaching feeling down pat.
What about the grassroots of Rugby in Australia? I would’ve loved to hear more about grassroots and development opportunities through to Super Rugby. I believe this is what Rugby League does better than Union.
To get RA's cost/income ratio to say 80% from what now must be well over 100%, should we not hold two Lions tests in Sydney and one in Brisbane (same as in 1989) ... focus on the rugby heartland states and minimise unnecessary logistics costs (to Melbourne or Perth)?
Good questions by Drew - he's proven to be very good at cutting through the noise and nailing the issues that actually matter. I only wish he didn't let Phil Waugh off the hook - I don't think he answered any of the questions; unless one considers chuckling about how tough it is, etc. I'm keen to give him a chance, but he needs to realise that the fans won't cop any more of the corporate yoga babble. His joking about his inexperience in sports administration highlights his abject lack of relevant experience to be a CEO of an organisation that comprises 6 elite professional teams AND a community game of 100,000 people. Is there another sport in the world give such a job to a bloke with a few years experience as an account manager for a bank? Wrexham AFC has a far more experienced management team and they're 4th division! If Rugby Australia was a serious organisation, it would have serious people running the show - Waugh needs to sort himself out very quickly and be that somebody or move along and get a real job. Anyway, This is a good show/podcast!
The biggest thing still holding all aussie clubs back is the ticket pricing. All the pre-season rural matches for the Reds were dope. Also melbourne was a terrible host for super round, crazy small turnouts.
Schmidt-hot lads. Interesting to see phil waughhhh (wo wo, what is he good for?!) out of oress conference / buzzword mode. And love what ex Qld origin player Les Kiss has done with the Reds so far! ☝️👌
I cant understand these guys, concerning Italy, it seams as if their wasnt a rwc where Italy was completly humbled by France and the All Blacks by more than 70 points...
Rugby Australia won't improve till they give channel ch9 the flick and get the Shute Shield back on free to air on Saturday Afternoons.Ch9 only cares about rugby greed that's their wild world of sport bread and butter.

Drew acts like the class clown, all the while actually asking hard and insightful questions to the CEO to hold the organisation to account
Can't be all work and no play. It's why Drua Mitchell has always been one of my fav Wallabies next to Gits
Must be the only pod in the world I listen to within 6 hours of launch
I'm an Irish fan and want to see AUS back to their best. World rugby needs a strong AUS
😢world.caught up with the Aussie BS .no one cares . certainly if the shoe was on the other foot they wouldn't care .😢For years we had to hear about their propogada.Covid saved us all from the aussies😮😮
This is what the suits should be doing more of. Waugh did great
Agree. You build transparency, and hence trust, by being seen
WTF???? He didn't say anything. What transparency? He ducked every single question.

Classic combination, the Pommies and the Tah's. Two teams the rest of the world never want to see win any sport EVER.
@@letstalk3265 true! But that's not my problem :)

Team of the week ! Pllease. Wallabies obviously!
Wow awesome segment
Best rugby show going around boys. Never change
I love this show it makes me excited about everything going on in Aussie rugby. Les Kiss is going to do great things with Reds and hopefully Wallabies when his turn comes along
Wake up babe, the new KOKO ep just dropped 🔥
This is much better than anything on Stan. Keep it up!
Great show. Les and Phil were great. 👍

Best podcast for rugby and laughs!! Thanks so much guys xx
Les is a Legend! Up the Reds 🐨
I come to you from South Africa, I must say I'm pleased to see Phil Waugh leading the way. I believe with the right people with him he has the ability to get Australia back where they should be in world rugby.
Go Phil
This show is awesome, great vibes great rugby chat, not afraid to ask hard questions and not PC. Keep this up boys.
OOOOOh my God Drew's story about Busta Rhymes was superb!!!!! Another great show guys. Awesome stuff, keep it going.
Just the best. Glad to have you gents back.
Hey boys
Best pod of all rugby pods
But hey can biv talk us through the 2015 final when bb scored a run away try it might be bit controversial but I know he will like it
From what I’ve found he was tripped
Hopefully he can confirm this
Love the show boys
That’s great Phil came on. That’s shows leadership and confidence. Wish Aus the best. Hopefully, we can turn things around. 🇺🇸🇦🇺🏉
Love watching this podcast. Alot of insights and info. Looking forward to seeing you back on Swoop.
Drew COMPLETELY nailed that tough question/comment on how these boys played for free and the SUITS flew 1st class… that is how CLASSY the players are and how CLUELESS and CLASSLESS management were… let’s hope this review reveals a new era…!
$120M spent since 2003
Love this show. You guys and your guests are awesome.
Looking forward to an Aussie resurgence.
That was possibly the best episode yet, thanks lads 👍
Superb. Irish woman here with a huge interest in all things Aus (also Joe Schmidt) , I'm fascinated to see the state of things over the past 5/6 years and looking forward to see them getting back on track.
Asking the tough questions. Good to see! Excited for the future of Aussie rugby!
That's the secret right there boys, giving real questions, getting the real stories and having a laugh along the way!!
That was an exceptional pod. Great wrap up of everything happening in Aus rugby
Coco with KOKO is the new best segment
Fml, this is literally the best rugby show on tv. Dudes with rugby knowledge, insightful background information and absolute f’n lad chemistry
great show guys, enjoy it a lot. Nice to see auzzie rugby starting to come back - a kiwi.
The show is 🤬🤬🤬🤬brilliant humour and knowledge our beautiful game needs boys keep it up
love the commitment to drinking empty cocoa mugs, down to the sound effects, hilarious.
Favourite time of the week
Great Show keeps delivery boys!
This is gold
Not sure what made me think of this (maybe it was the Waugh Brothers connection and Schmidting it in) but Billy Birmingham would be a classic guest if he’s still kicking around.
Great show lads. Best of luck with it.
Glad I've found you guys again! From a pom, you are a lot better than the posh daddy's boys over on the good bad & the ugly. If I could sponsor you I would!
Another great show guys! Wish I had some spare cash to sponsor you but very sadly not. Got my eye in a t-shirt though
I dare say this comparison but Les Kiss talking about the jersey and locker room reminds me so much of Allblack culture. Really has that coaching feeling down pat.
Guys. Get an alcohol sponsor by inventing a Koko Coctail !
Pina kokola?
The more Biv tales I hear the more I think he's not real. What a legend. Take Busta on in the octagon Biv!
Great pod . When is the merch coming out ?
Would love to see NZ and Australia back at the top of world rugby.
If there is 15 waugh on the field, the team wins 100%. Then we probably need to find 14 more waugh in the office.
Where can we get some Koko shirts?
coming soon!
Can't wait.
Please,please,PLEASE make sure they deliver all the way to Finland!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Love the mood of the show, brings a smile to my face every time. ❤️
What about the grassroots of Rugby in Australia? I would’ve loved to hear more about grassroots and development opportunities through to Super Rugby. I believe this is what Rugby League does better than Union.
Another scoop gents, well done
Les is a real gent
Good show. I hope you get your 50k subscribers
Drew with the zingers
Start a Patreon boys!
When are you going to chat with Gordon Bray?
need him back
@@islander_kool_katI bet he has no trouble saying Nawaqanitawase. No Marky Mark or “Nawangi Tawase” for him
@@thewielloyd988 😂
The way sport shoud be spoken and enjoyed
Great 👍🏻
Question for Drew, why were you cut from Stan Sports?
To get RA's cost/income ratio to say 80% from what now must be well over 100%, should we not hold two Lions tests in Sydney and one in Brisbane (same as in 1989) ... focus on the rugby heartland states and minimise unnecessary logistics costs (to Melbourne or Perth)?
Good on NordVPN!
This show is fucking awesome
Jeez, really nursing that beer Drew
hope someone lands a sponsorship soon good luck you poor buggers
Great podcast again swoop being a horse’s arse 😂🥳🥳🥳
Where can we buy the t-shirts?
❤
Where do I get some Merch?
You guys should hit up manscape for a sponsor
Biv - what's the story with Queenslander Drew choosing Tahs over Reds???????
Maaannnnn!! It’s a tough one but I was born in Liverpool, NSW which makes me sway that way and probably recency bias to be honest..
@@drewmitchell4188 fair enough .... But I'm curious: if state of origin rules applied to rugby - you'd be playing for the maroons right?
right right right ? lol cringe
Good questions by Drew - he's proven to be very good at cutting through the noise and nailing the issues that actually matter. I only wish he didn't let Phil Waugh off the hook - I don't think he answered any of the questions; unless one considers chuckling about how tough it is, etc. I'm keen to give him a chance, but he needs to realise that the fans won't cop any more of the corporate yoga babble.

Anyway, This is a good show/podcast!
So what happened to the Aussie GBR show?
Reds Vs FijianDrua SemiFinal 2024!
Australia are doing really good at the moment in Super Rugby we need a new tactic on how to approach certain areas of our game 😢
The biggest thing still holding all aussie clubs back is the ticket pricing. All the pre-season rural matches for the Reds were dope. Also melbourne was a terrible host for super round, crazy small turnouts.
Patreon fellas
Schmidt-hot lads. Interesting to see phil waughhhh (wo wo, what is he good for?!) out of oress conference / buzzword mode. And love what ex Qld origin player Les Kiss has done with the Reds so far! ☝️👌
I cant understand these guys, concerning Italy, it seams as if their wasnt a rwc where Italy was completly humbled by France and the All Blacks by more than 70 points...
Stop calling it Rugby Union, It's just called Rugby! the one the only.
thats just unequivocally false.
Rugby Australia won't improve till they give channel ch9 the flick and get the Shute Shield back on free to air on Saturday Afternoons.Ch9 only cares about rugby greed that's their wild world of sport bread and butter.
Waugh is a good fella, cares about the game.
What happened to the good the bad and the ugly
