I was joined by content creator Chris Setu to deep dive Samoan rugby. One of the sport's most beloved nations, Samoa has given the game icons and iconic moments. What's more, they have the best record against Six Nations and Rugby Championship sides of any T2 nation. However, the last 12 months have been painful for the Samoans. They barely scraped through to World Cup 2027 with a draw against Belgium after embarrassing losses to USA and Chile. Despite the quality of player available to them, they are underperforming badly. Chris and I discuss their performance and the possible reasons for it from selection to the alleged corruption. We then go on to contrast Manu Samoa with the rise of the rugby league team and discuss the roll of social media in the modern game. --- Get 15% Ellis Rugby stash with my code “HG15” - #ad Doddie Jersey: https://ellisrugby.com/product/doddie-weir-lions-shirt/ Jonah Jersey: https://ellisrugby.com/product/jonah-lomu-1995-rugby-shirt/ --- Follow me on twitter: https://x.com/HuwGriffinRugby Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61580910041103 Samoan Rugby Is A Problem… Inside Samoa's Rugby Survival… Inside Samoa's Rugby Survival… The Pain And Pride Of Samoa...

The new Rugby Reloaded looks at the current state of rugby league in Britain, asks 'What's going on?' and tries to provide some answers by looking at how the history of the sport can give us some insights into what the game could and should be doing. It also looks at the problems of being in the post-industrial north of England, the challenges of other sports, and the internal issues that the game has never confronted.

With special guests: Brendan Morris & Stephan Wellink… in conversation with Bill Kable The Thornetts, a band of brothers as Shakespeare might have called them. Today we explore what makes a champion when we hear about a sporting giant from 1960’s Australia, namely Richard, or as he was more commonly known, Dick Thornett. Dick was the youngest in a family of champions. Dick’s oldest brother was John who became the Captain of the Australian Rugby team, the Wallabies. Under John, the Wallabies had a legendary tour of South Africa. The next brother Ken also played Rugby at a representative level but is best known for his Rugby League abilities. Starting his Rugby League career in England he became known as the Mayor of Leeds before he came back to Australia representing Parramatta and Australia in the Kangaroos. Dick is called “the Natural” because he was so good at any sport he turned his hand to. After representing Australia in water polo at the 1960 Olympics in Rome he went on to represent Australia in two very different sports namely Rugby and Rugby League. Podcast (mp3)
