Summary

Alex, Hask, and Tins are joined by Dr. Brett Robinson, former Australian Wallaby and front-runner to be the next Chair of World Rugby. With his sons as the motivators for his unexpected appearance on GBR, Brett reveals his path to candidacy, what sparked his decision to lead, and why he believes his experience in both business and player safety makes him the right man to lead World Rugby.  The GBR team brings the heat on modernising the game.

But to begin, we are honoured to unveil the new British & Irish Lions shirt for their tour of Australia in 2025.

Season 5 is Sponsored by Continental Tyres
