After an emotional second Test at the MCG, David Pembroke is joined by former Wallaby Ben Alexander to unpack a match full of heart, controversy and missed opportunities.
They relive the electrifying moment Tom Wright crossed the line, debate the legality of Jack Morgan’s clean-out, and question where it all went wrong after a dominant opening 30 minutes.
With the third Test in Sydney looming, the pair discuss how the Wallabies can bounce back – and whether they will. Plus, they take a step back to look at the future of Australian rugby: from squad depth and selection headaches to the road toward the 2027 Rugby World Cup.
Also in this episode:
- The fan experience that’s missing in Aussie rugby
- How to fix the disconnect between players and supporters
- Why women’s rugby might lead the way on culture and connection
- World Rugby’s global mission with “Pass It Back”
