Episode 89: Rassiegate: Warren Gatland’s Spying Claims Investigated! (Parody)

Last week, Warren Gatland dropped a spicy column in The Telegraph, claiming the Springboks might have spied on the British & Irish Lions during their 2021 tour of South Africa. According to him, there was a house in Hermanus. It overlooked their training field. And from inside that house… someone watched. He believes Rassie Erasmus was on the pitch disguised as a water boy, holding a suspicious piece of paper — which, when zoomed in on, showed Lions calls. He even suggests that Lukhanyo Am’s massive hit on Elliot Daly may not have been instinct… but intel.We took this very seriously. Or rather, we pretended to.In this full parody skit, we imagine a world where Gatland didn’t just write a column — he filed a formal complaint. Six months ago. And World Rugby launched a covert investigation, appointing the only man with the guts, the gall, and the gumboots to take it on: the Rugby Fixer, Harry Jones.This is not a documentary.
