Paul Gallen is speaking out after things got heated between him and Sonny Bill Williams ahead of their high-profile match in Sydney. The pre-fight press conference initially saw both fighters seemingly ready to skip the verbal jabs in exchange for the in-ring shots on Wednesday. However, the latter stages saw Gallen accuse Williams of drug use - and for charging large sums for his community work. Gallen says he can't see himself breaking bread with Sonny Bill after the fight, but 'that's life'. "There's no acting going on at all - we don't like each other."

Last night I had the opportunity to sit down with the fabulous and engaging former Brumby and current Waratahs tight head, Tom Ross. Tom talks about how he escaped the barren wastelands of the ACT and signed with the Tahs in November 2023. He reflects on a fair prop education while down south with one or two reasonable prop mentors and some useful coaches as well. 2024 saw Tom in the Tahs starting XV before he too succumbed to the Tahs curse, doing his MCL five minutes into the match against the Chiefs, but battled it out till halftime. Tom is on the recovery trail and we discuss all things rugby. From his rugby trajectory, to how to help Sonny-Bill Williams evolve as a commentator and everything else in between. Special thanks to the Waratah media team for the opportunity and also to Tom. 'Tross' (must be short for Albatross) was a terrific guest and ''much better than Julian Heaven'' (Tom's words). We talked Brumbies rugby, coaches, life at the Tahs and a whole lot more. Sit down, pour yourself a refreshing beverage and enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
