Wales fly-half Rhys Patchell is on the podcast this week, fresh off a season of Super Rugby in New Zealand. 

He joins host Geraint Hardy and Sportin Wales co-founder Alex Cuthbert, to tell all about getting his opportunity to play for the Highlanders, learning the Haka and having a team set up for his rugby vision.

Patchell offers his assessment of Ben Thomas' first start at 10 for Wales during their 25-16 loss to Australia on Saturday, while Cuthbert gives his thoughts on young wing Josh Hathaway's debut.

How many changes should we expect for this Saturday and who does Cuthbert think will get his chance?

Last but not least, Patchell and Cuthbert elaborate on the discussion from last week's podcast with Sean Holley on Warren Gatland's man management style and their experiences with Wales and the Lions. 

Former Ospreys head coach Sean Holley joins Sportin Wales co-founder Alex Cuthbert and host Geraint Hardy to run the rule over the rugby news this week. 

Alex and Sean give their assessment on Warren Gatland and the pressure he is under this summer, along with their opinions on his man management style after criticism from Wales international Sam Parry.

Both give their assessment on Wales' chances for this summer's tour to Australia, while Alex suggests there may be a few surprises when the team is announced this week. 

After the WRU announced their new strategy and our bonus podcast with Abi Tierney, Sean Holley gives his thoughts on the announcement and what it might mean to one of our regions in particular.

Also, Sean opens up on the reasons why he left coaching and his new venture with Great Days Golf, including a certain round with one Sir Gareth Edwards! 

WRU's CEO Abi Tierney joins the pod on the road this week to discuss Welsh rugby's new strategy for the next five years.

Geraint Hardy and Sportin Wales co-founder Alex Cuthbert quiz WRU's new chief executive on her big plan to save Welsh rugby. 

Will there be four regions going forward? 

What does the financial picture look like?

How do we make Wales competitive again?

What will the pillars of success look like under her leadership?

Also they all look back on their highlights from 25 years of the Principality Stadium. 

Former Wales international Danny Gabbidon joins the Sportin Wales podcast to give his assessment on Friday's news that Wales head coach Rob Page had been sacked. 

Gabbidon is joined by host Geraint Hardy and Freelance journalist Philip Marsh as they assess who is the best option to take over ahead of the Nation's League. 

Would they like to see fan favourite Osian Roberts? Or even Gabbidon's former Wales teammate Craig Bellamy? 

Or perhaps someone from outside of the Welsh bubble with Thierry Henry touted. 

Also they assess where it all went wrong for Page and how his reign will be looked back on in the future. 

Finally they give their favourites for EURO 2024. 

Brothers Cory Allen and Mason Grady join Geraint Hardy on the Sportin Wales podcast this week to talk all about position changes, strikes, brotherly love and injuries.

Cory opens up on his struggles of learning to walk again and his new venture into the world of being an agent.

Mason talks about his favoured position and his experiences of a first cap with the backdrop of a strike looming?

While both look forward to Wales' summer tour and tests against South Africa and Australia.
