Nelson is back joining Cargie and Harry for episode 12 of the Fantasy XV Draft Podcast. Like the Waratahs this week, we kicked off and started well for the first 30 minutes before going a little off track and then just letting it blow out. We probably spent 30 minutes raging, wait no I mean discussing the Waratahs vs Crusaders match before recording the Pod, so at least you have all been saved from that.
