Wallaby and QLD Reds great Toutai Kefu applied for the Reds job that Les Kiss got and it was made clear they didn't want to appoint someone chasing the Wallabies gig. Kefu chats to Declan Byrne on 'The Saturday Sledge' about that process and why Les Kiss is a great fit for the Wallabies role, how his friendship with Joe Schmidt will make the transition seamless and what Kefu's own coaching aspirations are in the future.

As any Statistician on a juicy consulting wage from the NRL will tell you, records are made to be invented, and it's with this gusto that our heroes grapple with yet another glorious 'crowd record' declaration issued from Pyongyang. That, alongside the scheduling of a double header to take on the British and Irish Lions tour opener, assures us all the leadership coming from HQ remains- as ever- supreme.The game is feeling a bit 1998 at the moment, with unlimited tackles AND the reinstated presence of the Bears. A reverent look at Bears past unfolds, as our grizzled heroes pontificate their wisdom, while subtly referencing Wikipedia articles.Expansion is on the mind and in the gullet, from PNG to Perth, and next (we're pretty sure) the announcement of a team for the league loving province of Daugavpils in Latvia.Forward passes, high tackles, sin bins and tipping shit shows. Some harsh but fair calls on QLD Origin selections, while Johnny invites fellow male model James O'Connor back into the Wallaby fold- only to be met by a wall of disinterest from Joel, who is pretty sure no one would really bat an eyelid if he became an All Black. Our heroes also briefly mention a few Super rugby scores, amid wide eyed realisations they probably need to watch the games before talking about them. And so, we leave you with an ode to the game:As the whistle blows, and blows and blows and blowsThe spectacle known as rugby league gets more on the nose nose noseBut lets not stop PVL and co from making it grow grow growFrom Perth to Port Moresby...soon we'll have more teams than players to put on a show show show

The Crusaders have beaten the Blues in an absolute thriller in Christchurch, thanks to a game-winning penalty from James O'Connor. The former Wallaby stepped up, converting a penalty after the final buzzer to deliver his team yet another win, keeping them at the top of the table. He joined Piney to reflect on the kick and how he's been enjoying playing in New Zealand. “Awesome to get that win because that was definitely a battle.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The boys are delighted to welcome Bordeaux and Wallaby back rower Pete Samu to take us through a gripping encounter with Munster.We hear all about how the match ebbed and flowed and what it's really like playing and training with Damian Penaud and Louis Bielle-Biarrey...Also Maxime Lucu needs to lean into his Jason Statham more often!We hear about life in Bordeaux, the scars from last years devastating loss to Toulouse in the Top 14 final and how theyre approaching the semi final against their archrivals!Meanwhile Ryan relives the horror show that was Glasgow's mauling at the hands of an unstoppable Leinster...Since Bath led 21-19 at half-time in round four of the competition, Leinster have not conceded a solitary point; 200 minutes played, 142 points for, none against. Who on earth can halt their march to the Champions Cup. Also Jordie Barratt is a rugby cheat code....But at least Ryan was able to ask Leo Cullen if Leinster have peaked too early!We also break down a riveting contest between Toulon and Toulouse while the Saints go marching on!Friend of the show Fin Smith pulling the strings as always and young Henry Pollock grabbing the headlines (as always!)The boys work out that he shares far too many similarities with a certain Ryan Wilson.... oh no!Reviews and predictions incoming as well!Enjoy!

In this jaw-dropping episode of Proper True Yarn, Adam Ashley-Cooper takes us on a wild ride through his shock Wallabies debut—a story that goes from zero to hero faster than a bullet train. While casually enjoying a beer at a South Africa vs Wallabies match, Adam gets a life-changing call from Eddie Jones. Within hours, he's racing to Perth to join the squad, completely unsure why he's even there. From scrambling to make a last-minute flight, rocking board shorts and a pink tee, to arriving without a jersey, Adam's first taste of international rugby is full of chaos. But when the game is on the line, Adam's moment comes in the final minutes—putting him on the field and earning him the prestigious Wallaby number 800. A debut no one, including his mum, saw coming.But that's not all. Adam also shares a hilarious hunting story from his time in South Africa with the Waratahs. On a safari-style game farm, Berrick Barnes—known for his frugality—gets stuck paying a hefty price for a hartebeest, much to his dismay. With laughs and unforgettable moments, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who loves a true underdog story.Tune in for a yarn that's as unpredictable and legendary as Adam's debut!#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast.

Ugo and Chris discuss all this and chat to the Wallabies captain Harry Wilson to get his take on the Lions after playing all four home nations during the Autumn Nations Series. Are there certain players he is keeping an eye on during the Six Nations?

What is the best way to capture a new audience while keeping loyal fans engaged - does the perfect balance exist?

BEST MOMENTS "I think the connection between running mining companies and being a part of a rugby team is really obvious... It's about building teams to be successful." "We believe... that we can make smaller capital investments with quicker capital returns based on known margins." "We don't believe that we need a railway to deliver low cost, high quality, efficient bulk commodity transport." "Our opportunity is to revalue that investment and monetise it... providing value across the value stream to the Wiradjuri American people, to the state government, and certainly to the Midwest."

This week's Island Influencer is Chris Gregory, Chief Executive of Isle of Play, a charity dedicated to promoting, providing, and advocating for every child on the Isle of Man to fulfil their ‘Right to Play.' Chris was born and raised in Newton-le-Willows, a small town situated between Wigan, Warrington, and St. Helens. Growing up in a hard-working, working-class family, he witnessed firsthand the challenges his parents faced in providing for the family. Their perseverance and dedication instilled in Chris a strong work ethic and values that have shaped his career and approach to life. In 2006, after meeting his partner at university, who is from the Isle of Man, Chris decided to make the move to the island—a pivotal moment that set the stage for his incredible work. In this episode, we discuss everything from his recent Wallaby attack to his impressive collection of Blue Peter badges and his time studying architectural glass. However, it's through his role as the founder of Isle of Play that Chris truly found his calling. With the support of a dedicated team, Chris built an organisation that now provides play opportunities for over 1,000 children weekly through innovative programmes. He is passionate about giving children the freedom to play, a simple yet powerful concept that fosters creativity, community, and personal growth. His vision for a more child-friendly Isle of Man continues to inspire his efforts to enrich the lives of young people across the island. Here is episode 119 of Island Influencers, in which Chris Gregory shares his fascinating life story and the profound impact Isle of Play has had on the local community and its children.

Carlo Tizzano has burst on to the international rugby scene this season with an incredible work rate and tackle success rate and after this conversation it's easy to understand why. Growing up as an angry child, with 3 other brother constantly winding him up the aggression in his game was always going to be there. Having started out as a winger, he decided to move in to 7 a move with had plenty of doubters and even cost him a spot in the academy. However, as you'll hear Carlo has an incredible self belief, while also having incredible discipline to achieve goals quickly.  Carlo has also recently been diagnosed with ADHD which he describes as an absolute game changer and has made sense of a lot of his behaviour growing up especially at school. His ability to focus on tasks especially in games has been a big part of his rapid rise. The best part about this episode is that Carlo is an absolute lad who doesn't filter anything, he tells it straight and is very true to himself which always makes for the best podcasts. I'm sure by the end of this you'll have a new favourite Wallaby!

I'm your host, Kate Shaw. Every so often I get an animal suggestion that I'm positive we've already covered, but then I'm flabbergasted when it turns out we haven't. That's the case for the animals we'll learn about this episode, with thanks to Jaxon and Lorenzo! A while ago, Jaxon left us a nice review and suggested we talk about wallabies. I was CONVINCED we'd talked about the wallaby repeatedly, but I think I was thinking about the wombat. We've hardly ever mentioned the wallaby, and it's such a great animal! The wallaby is a marsupial that basically looks like a miniature kangaroo, although some species grow pretty large. The resemblance makes sense because kangaroos and wallabies are closely related, but everything else about the wallaby family tree is confusing. That's because there are a lot of animals called wallabies that aren't actually the same type of animal. “Wallaby” is just a catchall term used by people to describe any animal that looks kind of like a miniature kangaroo. Wallabies are native to Australia and New Guinea, but various species have been introduced to other places where they're invasive, including New Zealand, France, England, Scotland, and Hawaii. Most of these non-native populations happened by accident when pets or zoo animals escaped into the wild, but some were introduced on purpose by people who didn't know they were causing damage to the local ecosystems. One thing everyone knows about kangaroos, which is also true for wallabies, is that they hop instead of running. Their hind legs are extremely strong with big feet, and in fact the name of the family they share, Macropodidae, means big feet. So, you know, Bigfoot exists but maybe doesn't look like most people think. The animal hops by leaning forward and jumping, with its big hind feet leaving the ground at about the same time, and landing at the same time too before it bounces again. Its big tail helps it balance. But there's a lot more to this hopping than you might think. While the wallaby or kangaroo has strong leg muscles, what's even more important is that it has very strong, very elastic tendons in its legs. These basically act like massively strong rubber bands. When you stretch a rubber band, it stores energy that it releases when you let go of it and it snaps back and whips you in the thumb and you wonder why you did that because it hurt. The tendons in the wallaby's legs store energy when it hops, and when it lands, the energy releases and helps bounce the animal right back into the next hop. Once it gets going, its muscles are only doing a fraction of the work to keep it hopping at high speed. Even better for the animal, a lot of its breathing is regulated by its movements when it's hopping, so it always has plenty of oxygen to power its body while moving fast.
