Trending Rugby podcasts

On a filthy Sydney afternoon, we bring together a gang of loyal pod listeners to thrash out some of the major talking points of this Lions tour from a fans' perspective. How much do Lions fans just want to win, and how much do they want a close contest? How has this tour compared to others from a supporters' perspective? And does it matter if your country is represented in selection? We have people pop in from all across Britain and Ireland, as well as a number of ex-pats living in Australia, who give some excellent insight as to the state of rugby union down under.

Listeners' special in Sydney!

We’re podding from the Lions team hotel after Andy Farrell named his squad for the third Test in Sydney. Chris, Ugo and John Barclay discuss the two changes to the Lions starting XV with Blair Kinghorn replacing James Lowe on the wing and James Ryan coming in for Ollie Chessum at lock. Joe Schmidt has turned to veteran scum-half Nic White who bows out from international rugby on Saturday, but there is no Rob Valetini or Carlo Tizzano for the Wallabies. Can they match the performance they produced at the MCG to spoil the Lions’ party?

'Job done but not complete' - Lions aim for whitewash

Andy Farrell has named a relatively unchanged squad for the final Test of the British & Irish Lions tour as they look to complete an historic 3-0 series victory. Joe Schmidt is missing key forwards Rob Valetini and Allan Alaalatoa and shuffles his deck with Nic White making his final Wallabies appearance.

Dan Cole & Ben Youngs analyse a potential shift in tactical approaches, the significance of this match for Australia, and just how those non-Test Lions will be feeling.

Debating THAT clean out! Israel Dagg "Gutted" by Wallabies Loss & Game 3 Preview

Gus boldly predicts the Raiders will finish as minor premiers and have a very good chance to go all the way. Lachlan Galvin is likely to have a tough afternoon against his old side, the Wests Tigers, as Gus highlights the young player&rsquo;s level-headedness. The Melbourne Storm&rsquo;s premiership chances without Jahrome Hughes are debated, alongside speculation about Ryan Papenhuyzen&rsquo;s potential move to Rugby360, with Gus emphasising that &ldquo;money isn&rsquo;t everything.&rdquo;See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“The Raiders are out of mind, out of sight and that’s an advantage” Gus backs the Green Machine to go all the way.

This week on the KOKO Show the lads try and pick up the pieces after experiencing what was an emotional weekend for Aussie rugby fans in Melbourne. If you have been living under a rock, the Wallabies were pipped at the post on Saturday by a resurgent Lions team that claimed a big series win 2-0 at the MCG. Despite being heartbroken and frustrated with the result the KOKO lads paint on a pretty smile and give you a full review of what happened at the ‘G’ in Guinness’ ‘Perfect Pour’ segment and they reiterate just how important it is for the Wallabies to pick themselves up, dust themselves off and show up big in Sydney.&nbsp;&nbsp;The lads are joined by one of the greatest to ever do it in George Gregan and they discuss how the series might be done but the ability to keep writing this resurgent Aussie rugby narrative is well and truly still on track. With George’s rugby mind overflowing with brilliance the KOKO Crew dive deep into the psyche of a champion to see where he believes Aussie rugby is at and where it needs to go. So, sit back, relax and tip your cap to the Lions, they deserve our respect.

George Gregan Stops by to Lift KOKO’s Spirits after the MCG Madness

Chris and Tom have made it to Sydney for final Test week and GRO is back in the Nations pod squad having been declared fit for selection. There is lots of love for Finn Russell and how he orchestrated the final moments of the game. Of course, Jac Morgan’s clearout is also a hot topic of conversation as another series delivers another controversial moment at the death. Do this Lions team need to win the series 3-0 to be considered one the greats? They have not whitewashed their opponents in the Test series since they toured Argentina in 1927.

The 10 Reasons Why Andy Farrell Won The Lions Tour

What a match! The second Test in Melbourne had everything – drama, comebacks, grit and fight as the Lions fought hard to beat a much improved Wallabies side by 29 points to 26 – to take the series victory, meaning they have won a series for the first time in 12 years. Chris is joined by Lions rugby royalty – Matt Dawson, Andy Nicol and Jamie Roberts - live from a bar with all the on the whistle reaction. Andy wishes Australia played like that in the first Test, for Matt  it was a match that had him on the edge of his seat and for Jamie it was one of the greatest Test matches… ever! The guys debate that and so much more – including the brilliant performances from Itoje, Russell, Kinghorn, Aki,  Gibson-Park and  Morgan to name but a few! They also chat what didn’t go to plan for the Lions in the first half and why Australia were so class. But one thing they all agree on is that this was a ‘magic’ Test match and the Wallabies finally came to the party!

Lions win the series after dramatic comeback

As expected, the Lions are series winners having secured a 2-0 lead heading into the final Test against the Wallabies in Sydney. But, Melbourne’s second Test victory wasn’t without its drama. A Wallaby counterpunch, a thrilling fightback, refereeing controversy, a last-minute try and plenty of Irish involvement. The second Test had it all and the tour as a whole badly needed such a shot in the arm. Gordon D’Arcy and John O’Sullivan join Nathan Johns to pick through the match; how did Australia give Andy Farrell’s side a bloody nose? How did the Lions recover?
