The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast

Ep.37 – Sua’ali’i will save rugby and all Law Variations

Listen on

Episode notes

Brett McKay and Harry Jones go it alone on The 8-9 Combo this week, delving into a couple of topics they’ve wanted to cover off in a bit of detail: the introduction of new and not-so-new Law Variations into the Autumn Nations Series this November, and the resulting debate that has dominated rugby for weeks leading in, and the arrival and expected impact of high profile league convert and schoolboy rugby prodigy Joseph Sua’ali’i into Australian Rugby and the Wallabies.


This is a really entertaining chat through a couple of interesting topics of the day, and they’re topics that just need to be talked through to the get a better handle on what’s happening, why it’s happening, and whether it will or won’t work. Vive la différence!
