Ep.6 – Breaking it Down with Sam Larner

Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones are joined on The 8-9 Combo by one of the leading analysts in the game, Sam Larner from the Beyond 80 show on RugbyPass TV, for a great chat on how we all consume the game of rugby via stats and analysis.   What stats are meaningful? Which stats should you take notice of? Which one don’t mean as much as you think? There aren’t too many rugby people who have broken down rugby stats and rugby analysis better than Sam, and his Beyond 80 show goes to places where other shows just don’t. Plus the guys run the rule over the 2024 Six Nations, well won by Ireland as expected, but with more than a few surprises following them in the final standings.   Social media: #89Combo Twitter: https://twitter.com/89combo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/89combo/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@8-9Combo TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@89combopodcast   Brett: https://twitter.com/BMcSport Harry: https://twitter.com/HaribaldiJones   (Yes, Brett and Harry did used to host The Roar Rugby Podcast!)   Music from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/track/oakvale-of-albion/extreme Voiceovers by Chookman + Amelia Learn more about your ad choices.
