If last night’s game between Australia and New Zealand was anything to go by, we’d better strap in for the next few weeks of the Rugby League World Cup! Tinirau unpacks what he calls “one of the best opening games he’s seen at a RLWC in a very long time.”
Samoan, Solomon Islander and Cook Islander Dominique Peyroux joins us to take a trip down memory lane, reflecting on his time representing both the Cook Islands and Samoa at Rugby League World Cups throughout the 2010s.
Meanwhile, rugby union has its own share of action to look forward to, with a historic quadruple-header taking over Sydney this Saturday. And Sam has just one request for the Wallabies... PLEASE get it done!
