Episode 42: Farrell’s Call-Up: Lions Masterstroke or Mistake? Plus, England Young Guns Shine in Argentina
About the episode
A hell of a week of ruggers, with double Lions games, international games, and one headline-stealing call-up. The lads dive into Owen Farrell’s controversial selection, nepotism or necessity? The Lions’ campaign stumbles slightly after an impressive win over the Reds and a tougher outing against the Waratahs. We assess who’s rising—Maro, Jac Morgan, Huw Jones, and who’s wobbling—Duhan, Beirne, Smith. Plus, England impress in Argentina, Ireland’s kids hammer Georgia, Scotland beat the Maori All Blacks for the first time, Japan shock Wales (again), and the Wallabies scrape past Fiji. A belter of a week in the rugby world—get stuck in.
