Round 1 of Super Rugby Pacific is less than a week away!

Mitch is up and about after the Tahs go 2-0 in trials, the Brums and Force have flipped the pre-season pecking order, and Lachie still has no idea who’ll wear the Reds #10

Join the lads for a thoroughly biased QLD-NSW preview, a more nuanced look at Force v ACT and a cursory glance across the ditch.

Super Rugby Pacific is less than two weeks away and we've already locked in a Force v Waratahs decider.

NSW fans - especially Mitch - are up and about after flogging the Reds at Ballymore while the Force faithful are already buying their finals tickets after pasting the Brumbies in Perth and going 2-0 in their trials.

Are Queensland already cooked? Did the Tahs look suspiciously polished? What's doing in Brumbyland? And are the Force finally the real deal?

There's also big signing news on both the player and coaching fronts plus a few sevens and international updates - join Mitch and Lachie to break it all down on the Scrumbags Rugby Podcast!

Welcome to Extra Time - Scrumbags’ new subscriber offering!

This week on Extra Time, Mitch and Lachie break down each of Australia’s Super Rugby Pacific squads and their draws to see who’s best placed in 2026!

League converts, training brawls and pre-season chaos - rugby's back and so are the Scrumbags!

2026 has started with a bang, leaving Mitch and Lachie scrambling to catch up on all the off-season summer madness.

Where does NRL powerhouse Angus Crichton fit into the Wallabies picture? How did the MCG miss out as a host venue for the 2027 RWC? And who's the rat inside Daceyville leaking to the media - including training cam footage?

The boys also talk injury news, a bit of Aussie french flair and ponder whether Joe Schmidt or Dave Rennie end up as the next All Blacks coach?

All that and more on the Scrumbags Rugby Podcast - your one-stop shop for everything Aussie rugby.

Grim tidings, beloved listeners.

It’s the final episode of the year and Mitch and Lachie welcome John Ferguson for a not-so fond farewell of 2025.

The boys unpack the Wallabies’ 10th loss from 15 Tests and pose the question: is rugby fun?

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?
