The British & Irish Lions have bid farewell to their 2025 Tour of Australia, heading back to the Home Nations with the trophy in their pockets and winning bonuses in their wallets. But with still so much to wrap up from the series Brett McKay & Harry Jones welcomed onto The 8/9 Combo Rugby Podcast Jonathan Drennan from the Sydney Morning Herald. All the key questions will be asked: which coach is least unhappy? What was the biggest selection gamble or mistake? Which players most epitomised the Wallabies and Lions? And importantly, with a squad named and about to head to South Africa to kickstart The Rugby Championship campaign, how must the Wallabies and Australian rugby build from the Lions Series? #rugby #rugbypodcast #89Combo #British&IrishLions #Lions2025 #internationalrugby #Wallabies #TheRugbyChampionship, #Springboks, #AllBlacks, #LosPumas Find us: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@8-9Combo?sub_confirmation=1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1BcKhb24YOtwQhKc0S3sDm Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-8-9-combo-rugby-podcast/id1729575866 Social media: #89Combo Twitter: https://twitter.com/89combo BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/89combo.bsky.social Find Brett and Harry on both Twitter and on BlueSky: @BMcSport + @HaribaldiJones Music: "Stalling" by Topher Mohr & Alex Elena (via YouTube Creator Studio) Voiceovers by Chookman + Sean Maloney Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on The Rugby Pod, the lads dive into a stormy weekend of rugby. They break down the Lions 27–19 bashing against a very average Wallabies team in Brisbane, questioning the Aussie preparation, selections, and desire. We also look at some big performances from Tadhg Beirne and Tom Curry and whether Farrell might look to make some changes as they expect a big backlash in Melbourne. The lads react to the Lions' midweek team to face the First Nations & Pasifika XV, and speculate on squad rotation ahead of the second test. Elsewhere, England extend their win streak to seven after battering the USA 40–5 in a delayed, beer-fuelled and stormy Washington D.C. Wales finally appoint Steve Tandy as head coach, and the Springboks, All Blacks, and Gregor Brown all make headlines. Plus, your last chance to win a VIP watch along with Lawrence Dallaglio and details on an upcoming live show in Sydney with Alun Wyn Jones. Learn more about your ad choices.

Join Discourse by making a small monthly pledge, to double your Science of Sport experience!In a packed episode of Spotlight, we kick off with a Discourse Digest that begins on the grass of Wimbledon, where Jannik Sinner and a dominant Iga Świątek took home the titles. Then it's to the rugby fields of South Africa, where the Springboks—led by the ever-innovative Rassie Erasmus—have once again found a tactical edge. But is it genius strategy or a rule-bending loophole?In Center Stage (17:10), the Tour de France is in focus. Jonas Vingegaard's muscle has matched Pogacar on short, punchy climbs, but can he hold his own as the race hits the high mountains? We also break down Remco Evenepoel's pre-race cooling technique - placing hands and forearms in ice water - to explore what the science says about its effectiveness. Plus, we revisit the ongoing issue of concussions in cycling to explain the paradigm shift that is needed to buy space and time for better concussion identification.In Ross Responds (52:07), we revisit the topic of cramp and sodium loss, answering a listener question about 'salty sweat' with a dive into how our bodies prioritize the regulation of sodium concentration, and why sweat testing is nothing more than a measure of the body's systems working to defend physiological 'normal'. In Listener Lens (1:00:10), Tim is looking to break a barrier over 10km, and our Discourse community zeros in on the key to unlock that performance: pacing. We offer some advice to help him nail it.And finally (1:06:53), a Zwift racing series has Ross questioning the platform's 'fairness'. Are the game's efforts to simulate equipment and drafting creating more distortion than accuracy?LinksArticle on South Africa's innovative midfield maul set upStanford study that finds that palm cooling (with a vacuum device) improves performance in bench press and pull ups.

Argentina's win over the British & Irish Lions was just one more achievement in a 12 month period where they also defeated the All Blacks, the Springboks and the Wallabies for the first time ever. But this wasn't just a milestone for Argentinian rugby, but for South American Rugby as a whole. The Los Pumas side that beat the Lions contained players from Super Rugby Americas - the young league encompassing teams from Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay and Chile. Along with Argentina, those nations are now starting to emerge as challengers on the rugby circuit. In this podcast I speak to Joe Santamaria from the Rugby Paper and ESPN. He's on the ground in Buenos Aires and gives me the inside scoop on Argentina's acceleration on both the international and domestic front. He tells me all about Super Rugby Americas and how it is super charging the World Cup ambitions of Uruguay, Chile & Brazil. Last but not least, he educates me on the most exciting development of all: the advancement of the Brazilian national women's rugby team. The HG rugby podcast is all about telling the stories you don't get to hear anywhere else. By interviewing people from across the globe I hope to enhance people's enjoyment of rugby by informing of the hidden achievements of those outside the mainstream.

C'était un 24 juin, il y a 30 ans tout pile. C'était jour de finale à Johannesburg, où l'Afrique du Sud gagnait sa première Coupe du monde de rugby. Un tournant dans l'histoire du pays, avec l'implication directe du nouveau président élu, Nelson Mandela, et son projet de nation arc-en-ciel, après l'apartheid. Ce 24 juin 1995 voit les Springboks soulever la coupe Webb Ellis et le pays entier vibrer. C'est l'éclosion de cette fierté d'une nation unie par le sport, prête à se réconcilier. RFI est retourné sur les lieux de cette finale historique, au stade Ellis Park, accompagné d'un de ceux qui ont foulé la pelouse le 24 juin 1995.  De notre correspondant à Johannesburg, Nous avançons dans un long couloir chargé d'histoire. Il relie les vestiaires à la pelouse. Trente ans plus tôt, le 24 juin 1995, le jour de la finale du Mondial de rugby, Rudolf Streauli l'empruntait en tant que joueur : « J'étais impatient d'arriver au bout de ce couloir. » À l'époque, il entre sur le terrain avec le numéro 19 dans le dos. « Le président était assis là. Nous, on sentait le stade vibrer », se souvient-il. Devenu un temps entraîneur des Springboks, l'ancien joueur de près de 2 mètres dirige aujourd'hui le club de Johannesburg, les Lions, basé à Ellis Park. Le stade de la finale de 1995 est donc devenu son bureau : « Après avoir soulevé la coupe, je voulais jouer un plus grand rôle. Je suis fier de m'occuper du stade et de vous montrer notre musée aujourd'hui. » Un musée qui retrace l'histoire du rugby sud-africain. Avec, évidemment, des photos de Nelson Mandela, l'ancien président qui a fait de cette première victoire en Coupe du monde un tournant pour l'Afrique du Sud. « Quand il est arrivé avec le maillot numéro 6, c'était une surprise. On était tous nerveux, mais positivement », se remémore-t-il. Sam Nyaniso est salarié du club et nous accompagne le temps de la visite. Et même si ce fan de rugby travaille avec le champion du monde depuis des années, il n'est jamais à court de questions. « Rudolf, sans Mandela, tu penses que vous auriez gagné ? », interroge-t-il. Et le joueur de lui répondre que Madiba avait « joué un rôle central. Son projet pour le pays nous a évidemment motivé ». « Moi, j'avais 11 ans, j'ai regardé la finale sur une petite télévision. Les gens sont sortis dans la rue, ils klaxonnaient. Blancs et Noirs se prenaient dans les bras, témoigne Sam Nyaniso. Et quelques années plus tard, quand Rudolf est devenu coach, mon père a été recruté pour travailler avec lui. C'est lui sur cette photo. » « Le rugby, c'est un sport qui peut changer une société », estime Rudolf Streauli. Quant à Sam Nyaniso, il mesure la force et l'impact du rugby sur sa propre trajectoire : « Pour un gars comme moi, cela a ouvert tellement de portes. Je n'oublierai jamais cette finale ! » Trente plus tard, l'Afrique du Sud reste un pays fracturé et particulièrement inégal. Rudolf Streauli, fidèle à la mentalité de 1995, continue donc d'utiliser le rugby comme un vecteur d'unité et d'espoir pour les Sud-Africains.  À lire aussiAfrique du Sud: avant l'apartheid, l'histoire étroite entre le rugby et la communauté noire [1/3]

Cette semaine, RFI consacre une série de Reportage Afrique aux 30 ans de la Coupe du monde de rugby de 1995 en Afrique du Sud. Un événement sportif, mais surtout politique, puisque Nelson Mandela s'en est servi comme d'un outil pour prôner la réconciliation dans le pays. Auparavant, le régime d'apartheid tenait à ce que la ségrégation soit aussi appliquée dans le sport, et les joueurs noirs étaient exclus de l'équipe nationale des Springboks, alors symbole de la culture afrikaner et cible de boycott à l'international. Cependant, les communautés noires et métisses ont une histoire avec le rugby qui remonte bien avant 1995. Les chercheurs s'emploient à la documenter. De notre correspondante à Johannesburg, Dans ce labyrinthe de rayonnages, tout au bout d'une allée, se trouve une section consacrée à l'histoire des formes de résistances face à la ségrégation dans le sport. Parmi les trésors rassemblés, Ajit Gandabhai exhume d'anciens documents sur de vieux clubs de rugby qui existaient dans les communautés noires et métisses. « Ici, on a une brochure commémorative du club de rugby des Newtonians, qui a été formé en 1948. Il y a également des compte-rendus de réunions qui se sont tenues », montre-t-il. Ajit Gandabhai et son équipe ont récolté des archives auprès d'anciens joueurs ou directeurs de clubs. Car afin de sauver cette histoire de l'oubli, il a fallu aller au-delà des sources traditionnelles, qui passaient volontairement sous silence les pratiques sportives multiraciales. « La presse officielle ne couvrait pas le sport non ségrégué. Mais cette histoire doit être racontée, et plus uniquement à partir de 1995 », clame-t-il. Arrivé en Afrique du Sud par le port du Cap, avec les colons britanniques, le rugby s'est propagé au sein des communautés noires via les missionnaires et leurs écoles au XIXe siècle. La passion de la balle ovale s'est particulièrement emparée de la province du Cap-Oriental, au sud du pays. Un mot, en langue xhosa, a donné son titre à l'un des ouvrages co-écrits par le chercheur Buntu Siwisa. « Le terme "umbhoxo" signifie la forme hexagone, pour désigner le ballon qui n'est pas rond. Le fait qu'on ait décrit cette forme en xhosa permet une déconstruction décoloniale de qui peut s'approprier le rugby. C'est aussi notre sport », explique le chercheur. Ces clubs de rugby jouaient aussi un rôle dans le mouvement de résistance contre l'apartheid, selon l'enseignant de l'université de Johannesburg : « Déjà à l'époque, c'était beaucoup plus que du sport. C'était un outil de mobilisation politique. Par exemple, les militants frappés d'interdictions, qui ne pouvaient pas être vus dans des rassemblements, se servaient des clubs comme de lieux où ils pouvaient se retrouver, planifier des actions. Et les stades dans lesquels on jouait au rugby pouvaient être utilisés pour d'immenses funérailles politiques. » Quant aux spectateurs noirs et métis qui suivaient les matchs internationaux, ils supportaient bien souvent d'autres équipes ennemies des Springboks, et notamment les Néo-Zélandais, qui avaient un effectif plus mixte. Ce qui fait qu'encore aujourd'hui, on peut trouver nombre de fans des All Blacks dans les stades sud-africains. À lire aussiRugby: en Afrique du Sud, au coeur de la fabrique à Springboks des lycées

This week I'm in South Africa on a book and speaking tour and am chatting at the Franschoek Literary Festival, so we are all South Africa today. A country of contradictions, rich in resources, vibrant in culture, yet S.A. is held back by inequality, corruption, and the long shadow of apartheid. In this episode, we explore its uneasy present and remarkable past: from Mandela's legacy to Elon Musk's childhood, from empire and race to why Donald Trump has fixated on white Afrikaners. We travel through Cape Town and Johannesburg, unpacking it all with FT journalist Simon Kuper, and along the way, we encounter pencil tests, Springboks, slabs of the Berlin Wall, and the political ghosts of the Cold War. Is South Africa being used, once again, as a pawn in someone else's game? Join the gang! https://plus.acast.com/s/the-david-mcwilliams-podcast. Hosted on Acast.
