Racing finally gets a win in the Challenge Cup! It's enough to send Bekki and Tom into song. Tom also gets the name of the team and our state correct! It's a miracle and it only took 5 epsiodes. Racing's win is no miracle, though, because this was a well-earned, well-deserved victory for a team that seems to be coming together.

In this episode, Bekki and Tom take a closer look at Racing's roster and talk about which lines are the strongest, which still need some work, and who we think will be the players to look at this Challenge Cup. We also assign nicknames that everyone will reject and no one will use. Good times!

*Warning: Bekki drops a couple of F bombs around the 40 minute mark so apologies if that's not your thing.*
