Well, that was a weekend and a half! The Waratahs surprised us all going down to the Lions and the Wallabies nearly went one step further in Newcastle against Fiji.

What do you get when five drunk men talk rugby in a gay bar?

Nick H, Nick W, Nath and Dylan meet at Bernie's Bar in Newcastle to discuss both games in a monster reaction, and are joined by RugbyPass' own Finn Morton as we approach the halfway point of the Lions tour.

WARNING: Beers + rugby opinions in a quality LGBTQA+ bar + Kink Cinema + very strong coarse language = a good time

So, the score was ugly... but did the Queensland Reds just show the Wallabies a potential way to defeat this imposing Lions side?

Nick W and Natho sit to discuss the Reds 52-12 loss to the Lions - and are joined by fellow pigeon and Scrumbags' own Lachie Grey.

WARNING: a ripper belch and some swearing.

The BIL didn't disappoint on Saturday night against the Force. But the Force stayed with them for quite a while in what I thought was an entertaining game. Next up for the Lions is the Queensland Reds, just four days after the Force match. Even for a large touring party, that's a stretch. Happy, Butz and I preview the match.

As always, we hope you enjoy.
