Welcome to this week's episode (and our final one for 2024), packed with rugby insights and club camaraderie!

Steve provides some cracking insights into the club's direction and all the intriguing goings-on that typically remain hidden from view.

But hang on – there's more! We've also got a couple of our dear MOIIIIITES from Australia (Knoxy and Ali) who are sadly leaving our chilly shores for warmer climes down under. These two legends share their tales that'll have you either in stitches or on the edge of your seat.

And of course, we also have our comprehensive club-wide round-up of all the teams.

Sit back and join your regular hosts – Mick, Duncan, and Pete – for a rollicking ride through Cobham rugby culture, club dynamics, and everything in between.
