About this episode
The Lions were rattled. The Wallabies got lucky. And the Brumbies are next. After an eventful week of rugby around the world. The Waratahs showed just what it takes to upset the Lions while Rugby Australia put on a masterclass of fan-first engagement in Newcastle. Today Rugby Unity is back with a bumper Lions Tour special. David Pembroke is joined once again by former Wallaby and Brumbies stalwart Ben Alexander, and RugbyPass journalist Finn Morton, to discuss everything that matters about the Lions tour to Australia. This episode includes: Ben unpacks how the Waratahs rattled the Lions — and why Charlie Gamble’s four turnovers matter. Finn shares what it felt like inside a packed Allianz Stadium— has the “low-energy” tour turned a corner? David fires up over TMO chaos: is the obsession with perfection killing rugby’s momentum? They dig into Tupou’s scrum dramas, Noah Lolesio’s injury, and a potential James O’Connor comeback. Plus: Aussie fan culture, jersey pride, and the power of post-game singalongs. Then it’s onto Canberra, where the Brumbies aim to repeat their 2013 magic and knock over the Lions. Don’t miss THE FANZONE. Midday at The Dock — legends like David Nucifora, Laurie Fisher and Stephen Larkham, singalongs, raffles, and a legendary jersey auction. All proceeds support grassroots rugby. Get your tickets here.
