Ep.26 – Under Pressure with Paul Cully

Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones are joined on The 8-9 Combo by Stuff.co.nz Senior Sportswriter, and SMH rugby columnist Paul Cully to dig deep into the narratives and the four squads as selected for The Rugby Championship, and to try and work out where the Wallabies, Springboks, All Blacks, and Los Pumas are placed heading into the first round of the premiere southern hemisphere international rugby tournament.

Paul and the guys dig deep into some really interesting narratives surrounding Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, and Argentina heading into the first round of the TRC, including the coming together of the first generation of players who have only played Super Rugby, or have only played in the URC – but not across those borders – plus a proper wade into the weeds about the four squads for this year’s tournament.
