Ep.23 – Grownups with Charlie Morgan

Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones welcome back onto The 8-9 Combo Senior Rugby Writer for The Telegraph, Charlie Morgan to cast an eye back on the second week of July Internationals in the southern hemisphere, and consider the broader implications of this important week where so-called Tier 2 nations are hosted around the rugby world. With all the two-Test series now done all over the southern hemisphere, the microscope turns to lessons learned by England in New Zealand, by New Zealand from England, who learned more out of South Africa and Ireland and whether they would possibly agree anyway, the size of Warren Gatland’s Welsh rebuild, and whether the Wallabies might be doing un-Joe Schmidt things that actually please Joe Schmidt. Plus, find out what will surely please The Telegraph’s comments section.
