Episode notes
The quarter-finals are finally here and we're joined by a stellar cast on this week's episode of the Official Rugby World Cup Podcast, presented by Asahi Super Dry, to look ahead to what's set to be a mouthwatering weekend of World Cup clashes. British & Irish Lions legend Jamie Roberts, Ex Irish International and one of the sharpest minds in rugby Bernard Jackman, and Fijian star Niko Matawalu join host Gethin Jones to unpick all the action, preview the quarters and of course share some hilarious stories along the way.
We find out the ridiculous lengths Warren Gatland goes to to motivate his players from physical and mental punishment to forcing them to don a fake tan, discuss why the Northern hemisphere are so dominant, find out how Ireland have become such a successful rugby nation and uncover the key changes put in place that have unlocked Fijis fortunes. The lads also debate what 10/12/13 combination England should go with, why the All Blacks are basking in being 'the hunters rather than the hunted', the importance of the inside centre position at this WC, why Gavin Henson hated ice baths and we find out how Sextons and O'Driscoll's sons are already wreaking havoc across Irish rugby.
This is your definitive review & preview of all of the World Cup action, so sit back, relax and enjoy the Official Rugby World Cup Podcast, presented by Asahi Super Dry. #BeyondExpected,
