Rugby Wrap Up, the mother ship, has returned. Unplugged. Raw. No Bells. No Whistles.

Welcome to Rugby Wrap Up Raw.

Rugby Wrap Up, which is now the platform for shows like The Rugby Odds, MLR Weekly and College Rugby Wrap Up, is now back as a show/pod, our original flagship podcast, adding to our already robust roster of great rugby content.

In this episode producer Zach Lanning and Matt McCarthy talk The Rugby Championship, the Pacific Nations Cup, WXV, and College Rugby, before taking an in-depth look at the Premiership ahead of Week 1.

This global rugby show, Lanning & McCarthy (often confused with Lennon & McCartney) will have a bit more time than our usual half-hour show formats allow, to cover the latest and greatest, often joined by guests from whom we’d all like to hear.

Feel free to comment below and be sure to check out our other shows, The Rugby Odds, MLR Weekly and College Rugby Wrap Up.
