Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones launch the first official episode of The 8-9 Combo with literally the biggest name in international rugby: World Rugby Chair Sir Bill Beaumont.

In their maiden episode, Brett and Harry enjoy an engaging discussion with Sir Bill around the legacy of Rugby World Cup 2023 in France, the state of the game internationally, where it is heading and what can still be done to improve rugby as a genuine international sporting spectacle, and why it remains important for rugby to continue leading with regards to player welfare, tackle height, and concussion research and strategy.
