Ep.25 – Can the Wallabies counter Japan's 'infectious' rugby with Tom Robertson

The Les Kiss era with the Wallabies has started with a win, but what have we learned so far? Western Force and injured Wallabies prop Tom Robertson joins Brett McKay on 8/9 Rugby for the squad-adjacent insight into what’s going on. The 35-32 win in oppressive conditions in Osaka was good the for the Wallabies; a loss would meant a completely different dynamic as the team returned home for the second Test in Townsville this weekend. Japan were super impressive, and continue with their high-tempo game highlighted through the Nations Championship – but the Wallabies being able to do enough to win was a great result. #rugby #rugbypodcast #89Rugby #Wallabies Find us on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever else you get your podcasts Social media: search for ‘8/9 Rugby’ on Twitter, Bluesky, LinkedIn, and on Instagram, too And please do check out and subscribe to 8/9 Rugby on Substack: https://89rugby.substack.com/ Find Brett on both Twitter and on BlueSky: @BMcSport Music: "Up Above" by Letter Box (via YouTube Creator Studio) Learn more about your ad choices.
