Andrew Barnett and Tim Barrow bring you our final Saturday Sports Vibe of the year, and we’ve got a packed show lined up. The NRL opening fixtures have been announced, and we take a look at the key opening games and the top transfer stories. Raiders legend Jarrod Croker also joins us to give his view and share his top tips for the weekend.

In rugby union, the Wallabies take on Ireland tomorrow, and Stan Sport’s Sean Maloney is on the show to preview all the action. In football, analyst and host of The Row Z Podcast, James Dodd breaks down the A-League story so far this season and previews Australia’s friendly against Venezuela, including what young A-League players can take from the experience.

We also check in with Canberra Chill player Claudia Johnston, who talks us through the hockey season so far. And in cricket, the Ashes tees off soon, so we look ahead to next week’s opening match. All that and plenty more from around the sporting world.
