Last night I had the opportunity to sit down with the fabulous and engaging former Brumby and current Waratahs tight head, Tom Ross. Tom talks about how he escaped the barren wastelands of the ACT and signed with the Tahs in November 2023. He reflects on a fair prop education while down south with one or two reasonable prop mentors and some useful coaches as well.

2024 saw Tom in the Tahs starting XV before he too succumbed to the Tahs curse, doing his MCL five minutes into the match against the Chiefs, but battled it out till halftime. Tom is on the recovery trail and we discuss all things rugby. From his rugby trajectory, to how to help Sonny-Bill Williams evolve as a commentator and everything else in between.

Special thanks to the Waratah media team for the opportunity and also to Tom. 'Tross' (must be short for Albatross) was a terrific guest and ''much better than Julian Heaven'' (Tom's words). We talked Brumbies rugby, coaches, life at the Tahs and a whole lot more. Sit down, pour yourself a refreshing beverage and enjoy.

After a will-they won't-they saga all season, the Waratahs have decided to let Darren Coleman go. The boys are here to discuss all in this FLASH pod!

• But was it a good decision?
• Why do the Waratahs seem to change but get no better?
• How come the state with the biggest population and the most rugby players in Oz is perpetually disappointing, like pesto pasta writ large and in an out-of-form Super Rugby form?

To kick off this new series, our first guest has been a revelation at the Tahs this year. Starting the year on a 'training contract', injuries to other players coupled with his own rising form saw him demand a spot on the pine and then quickly into the starting team. Currently recovering from a shoulder injury, we welcome NSW Waratahs hooker, Julian Heaven.

Special thanks to the Simon at Waratah Media for his co-operation and support. And of course to 'The Axe' himself, who as you'll hear is not just a cracking person, but also a young rugby player, working multiple jobs all in the pursuit of his rugby goals.
