Lunchtime recording times, what luxury!

Nick W and Natho go rapid fire as the Wallabies announce their squad for the upcoming match against Los Pumas in La Plata, and give their preview as Joe Schmidt's men look to snap an eight match losing streak.

It's just me and KARL this week, with Happyman unavailable. We have a chat about the four games played in the RC so far, then discuss how we think the All Black and Wallaby tours will go, and finish off with a lively discussion about the high contact law. We manage to do that in just under 55 minutes for those timing us.

We feel culpable. The Aussie Mens 7s must be avid listeners, took our advice too literally and decide to drop the ball against the Fijians.

Ah well, the Olympics are only ever four years.

Today Nick and Nathan talk about:

• Olympics misery
• Our favourite Olympic sports
• Best players
• The Rugby Championship Squad

and, in a special announcement, Nick interviews his boss, sports administator Carolyn Campbell. Carolyn has run several sports organisations, from Volleyball Australia, to Netball NSW and NSW Rugby League. 

Carolyn and Nick talk grassroots, difficulties and challenges special to sports administration and community organisations, and much more.

Have a listen!
