With Tony enjoying valuable family time in Australia, we have Paddy Mullarkey stepping into his shoes as co-host for a couple of weeks. We start with a look back at the final weekend of the Rugby World Cup, with South Africa beating New Zealand 12-11 in the final, and England taking the bronze medal after a 26-23 win over Argentina. As well as discussing the key moments in both games, Andy & Paddy share their highlights from the last 7 weeks. We bring you the latest from India and England's ever worsening performances in the Cricket World Cup as they sit firmly rooted to the bottom of the group table, and an admission by the Head Coach that they did not realise qualification for the 2025 Champions Trophy depended on them finishing in the top 8 of this tournament. With a fully packed Premier League football weekend, we have a round up of the key results, and ask if Manchester United's 3-0 defeat at the hands of local rivals Manchester City mounts further pressure on Erik ten Hag's tenure as manager at Old Trafford? We also bring updates from Rugby League internationals, the Mexico Formula 1 Grand Prix and cycling's Tour de France, where sprinter Mark Cavendish has described the newly unveiled route for 2024 as “perhaps the most difficult course I've ever seen for a Tour”. Despite being on holiday, Tony has still been a man at work down under, and we have his first missive on sporting life in Australia, as well as his efforts to damage Anglo-Aussie relations by mentioning Eddie Jones every chance he gets! We round off with a review of the heavyweight boxing bout between Fury and Ngannou, with Paddy urging boxing authorities to Get a Grip to improve the sport.

After we were treated to arguably the greatest weekend in the history of the sport, we're delighted to be joined on the podcast today by Ex All Blacks Captain Tana Umaga, a current World Champion in Ex Springbok Francois Louw & Ex Welsh International Philippa Tuttiett. We discuss everything from the; All Blacks epic victory against the Irish to how the Springboks managed to shock the home nation in their capital, and arguably most surprisingly how the Puma's managed to fight back to knock out the Welsh. Tana opens up about why he feels embarrassed by the way people have treated Ian Foster, how he helped forge Bundee Aki's career, why he decided to change the All Blacks Haka in 2005 and what his relationship with Brian O'Driscoll is like after that famous incident in that Lions series. Francois takes us behind the scenes to reveal; how Rassie meticulously plans for scenarios and outcomes better than anyone in world rugby, the secrets a team needs to know to win a World Cup and how the Springboks managed to put a game plan together against the French which saw them come out on top. Plus Philippa reveals to us why everything seemingly went wrong for the Welsh on the weekend, why she felt that the Irish's luck was running out and how England could still have a great chance at going onto win the World Cup. 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, Hosted on Acast.

Fijians are over the moon after their rugby team pulled off the biggest upset of the Rugby World Cup so far, beating Australia for the first time in 69 years.

The Springboks start their 2023 Rugby World cup title defence campaign in Marseille, France, today with an expected pulsating tie against Scotland.

Victory in today's match will put either side in a brilliant position to qualify for the quarter-finals, easing the pressure somewhat before both play Ireland. The match is due to start at 17:45 South African time. We spoke to SAfm Sports anchor Janet Whitton

In this episode, Sam Roberts speaks to Jimmy Gopperth. Regarded by many as one of the finest playmakers in Premiership history, Jimmy talks about what it was like playing for Wasps in 2016, his stellar matches against Exeter, kicking at goal, retiring, and even what it felt like to miss out on All Black selection. There is some superb insight for everyone, but young players especially will learn a lot from listening to him.We watch these highlights on Youtube and you can watch along too - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s1TqaqzFHcIf you like this podcast, please do take some time to subscribe and review.
