We're top of the ladder! Who saw that coming? Not me!

Nick W and Nath catch up on the latest in the world or rugby, including Super Rugby Pacific, RWC 2027 fixtures, law changes, the Sevens, the Six Nations and some good old fantasy news.

They’re nervous, we’re excited.

Angus Crichton will Steggles for industrialised Kiwi meat - itself a bit yellow in colour as they sack Razor clam Robertson - as he becomes the 3rd Rooster of recent times to beg for the upgrade from avian to macropod. Nick and Natho are on board to ride the chocobo of delusion in this bloated metaphor.

They chirp:

• Crichton! How good?
• Our potential sumptuous backline for ‘27
• Who else do you want - let’s get greedy!
• Razor getting the cut
• And fightin’ flowers at Tahs training

Cricket season has started with a first test victory inside two days! How good!

Oh, and the Wallabies played their last match of the year. The two Nicks and Nath come together for our last instant reaction of the year (and likely second last pod before the season wrap) to talk the end of a rough November tour.

Crap.

The Wallabies are in all sorts of trouble after Italy recorded back-to-back wins. Nick W and Natho welcome back Jack O'Rourke to the pod to dissect that mess of a result.

WARNING: sad bois, honest opinions and naughty words

Can't promise this is one of our best instant reactions... but then again, it also fits the game we just watched.

Nick H and Natho sit through and dissect the Wallabies loss at Twickenham so you don't have to.

What's your favourite logo in all of World Rugby?

Fuelled by another Nick H rabbit hole, Nick W and Natho talk about the fringiest of all fringe teams - and maybe also talk about the November Internationals and what a pass mark would be for Joe Schmidt's Wallabies.

Got a favourite rugby logo. See the World map for yourself and tell us your favourite: https://www.reddit.com/r/rugbyunion/comments/xeeiq6/logos_of_national_rugby_union_teams/#lightbox
