Candace and Rob are focusing on all things WXV! 🏉

They run through some regular general rugby news with a final reminder to get those RWC 2027 volunteer applications in before the window closes.

Then it’s all things WXV, with plenty for the match-official nerds to unpack: England vs New Zealand, a dramatic late missed penalty, yellow-card decisions, lineout height and tackle-release moments. They also break down Scotland vs Australia, the impact of the wind, breakdown management and Australia’s improving game management.

Plus: Wales vs USA, France vs Canada, lineout chaos, obstruction calls, offside and escalation processes.

Finishing with the usual Stat Central: 50/100, Appointments: WXV + Super Rugby AUS + Law of the Week: Touch, quick throw and lineout- Law 18.22
