With the Bledisloe Cup decided for another year, but the return Test and The Rugby Championship still very much up in the air, Kiwi rugby journalist Jamie Wall joined Brett McKay and Harry Jones on The 8/9 Combo Rugby Podcast to dive deep into the fallout.

While Australian fans are still raging about refereeing decision, New Zealanders are just happy they didn't lose two games on the trot.
