Well that sucked meatballs.

Mitch and Lachie suffer through a fifth loss from the past six Wallabies games after Australia fumbled the bag against Italy - again.

Anyone else want to host next year?

Unpacking a 25-7 loss to the Poms is about as much fun as an ice pick lobotomy, which coincidentally is what Mitch and Lachie would've preferred to recording this episode.

However the boys have bravely soldiered on to pick through the Wallabies' limp remains from Twickenham, rehash the age-old flyhalf debate, and trade horror stories about another Italian Job against the Azzurri this weekend.

Will the overseas Aussies make their return in Udine? Might we see Carter Gordon back in Wallaby Gold? Tune in for all that and more on the Scrumbags Rugby Podcast.

It’s been a month of post-Bledisloe mourning but the Scrumbags are finally back(ish)!

Mitch returns from his South African adventure to find Lachie and the Wallabies still without a major trophy and fresh from a head-scratching 19-15 win over Japan.

Who’s our Test flyhalf? Do we have enough locks? Is Carlo Tizzano cursed after three no-tries in Tokyo?

Join the boys to make sense of a baffling month of Australia rugby, break down Wallabies v Japan + the latest R360 news, and ask where our 2026 women’s rugby calendar is at.

They’ve only gone and bloody done it!!

Also we’re less than a week out from the Wallaroos World Cup opener - how good is rugby!

It’s our first Test-free weekend in decades (or feels like it anyway) so join Mitch and Lachie as they battle the post-Lions comedown.

There’s plenty to chew through insofar as a Lions Series Wrap and looking ahead to Australia’s TRC hopes in South Africa while our Wallaroos also get a deep dive with less than a fortnight before their RWC opener against Samoa!

The Wallabies scrap themselves out of a 3-nil series sweep with some big players producing some big moments, but it's not all sunshine and rainbows after losing the series.

It's been a phenomal Lions tour and thank you much to all the Lions fans that came Down Under and made this tour so special and full of voice and song,

OTR is joined by Lachie from Scrumbags to breakdown the key moments, key players, as well as some hard truths Wallabies supporters have to face ahead of the Rugby Championships.

The panel also goes through the Wallaroos World Cup squad and the All Blacks squad, which was also just announced.
