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!

The boys also offer their (somewhat) informed take on where each side will finish on the SRP ladder and the risers and fallers in the Aussie standings.

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?

Unpacking a 25-7 loss to the Poms is about as much fun as an ice pick lobotomy, which coincidentally is what Mitch and Lachie would've preferred to recording this episode.

However the boys have bravely soldiered on to pick through the Wallabies' limp remains from Twickenham, rehash the age-old flyhalf debate, and trade horror stories about another Italian Job against the Azzurri this weekend.

Will the overseas Aussies make their return in Udine? Might we see Carter Gordon back in Wallaby Gold? Tune in for all that and more on the Scrumbags Rugby Podcast.

It’s been a month of post-Bledisloe mourning but the Scrumbags are finally back(ish)!

Mitch returns from his South African adventure to find Lachie and the Wallabies still without a major trophy and fresh from a head-scratching 19-15 win over Japan.

Who’s our Test flyhalf? Do we have enough locks? Is Carlo Tizzano cursed after three no-tries in Tokyo?

Join the boys to make sense of a baffling month of Australia rugby, break down Wallabies v Japan + the latest R360 news, and ask where our 2026 women’s rugby calendar is at.

There’s more rugby than you can shake a stick at - but we’ve brought a third host back to try our best!

Ando returns to chat with Mitch and Lachie about all things Wallabies, Wallaroos and Super Rugby AUS.

Will James O’Connor and Will Skelton return for the Bledisloe Cup? What can the ‘Roos do to avoid another quarter final exit on home soil in 2029? And what did we make of Super Rugby AUS Round 1?

Tune in and find out for yourselves!
