IT'S COLLAB TIME - and we're back with our mate Fergo from Off the Ruck for 40 minutes of fury.

We've got a fresh Wallabies squad to chew through - headlined by the return of Jordan Petaia and a potential debut for Harry McLaughlin-Phillips - plus all the fallout from Round 1 of Super Rugby AUS, the Wallaroos WXV Series test against England, and a fresh new Ultimate Sevens format.

Make sure you follow Off The Ruck on all your socials and YouTube - where Fergo does his best work!

The Wallabies remain undefeated in the Les Kiss era - but why aren't we happy?

Australia win back the Puma Trophy for the first time since 2022 (fact checked) after a 28-all draw in Mendoza.

Yet the last month's decadence and four straight wins have filled our heads with air and even loftier ambitions.

Join Mitch and Lachie to break it all down and ask - is rugby even fun?

Plus, just a week to go before Super Rugby AUS kicks off + the latest Wallaroos and Ultimate Sevens musings...

It wasn't the prettiest Test victory - yet it's exactly the kind of performance Australia needed to win ugly in Argentina!

Plenty of talking points after the Wallabies held out a late Pumas charge 27-21 in Jujuy.

How did the rotations hold up and can we expect more change before they run it back in Mendoza?

Start engraving the William Webb Ellis Cup - Bill's coming back to Australia in 2027.

We know this to be true without a lick of sarcasm following a roughly 40-minute passage of pristine rugby from the Wallabies in Townsville that ensured a 56-17 win over Japan.

Sensationalism aside, there's a lot to like about that Game Two performance - Massimo De Lutiis scoring a try as Wallaby #1000 among them - but what's most exciting is the rise of a genuine centre option in Isaac Henry.

There's also some big news in the Wallaroos world with a new coach (who won't start until 2027) and a new squad for the 100th Test coming up this weekend - plus an update on our Kiwi compatriots on tour in South Africa.

No Test Rugby? What does one ever do with oneself on a weekend without the Wallabies?

Turns out there's plenty to chew through with a Super W decider and new reports linking Joe Schmidt to a gig at the Waratahs for 2027!

It's the perfect platform for Mitch and Lachie to deep dive the 2024-2026 Joe Schmidt era in semi-forensic detail.

Does Schmidtty get a pass mark for 12 wins and 19 losses? What's Smoking Joe's Legacy?

And of course, there's plenty of time to get into an incredible grand final performance from the Waratahs over in Ba to smash the Drua and stamp their authority as the big kahunas of Aussie rugby.
