Ep.20 – Robbed of Points with Sam Windsor

Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones are joined on The 8-9 Combo by Australia’s Major League Rugby record points-scorer and Seattle Seawolves flyhalf/fullback Sam Windsor, to get a true insight into the quality gains in MLR since it was founded in 2017, and how life works for a professional rugby player in the United States.

The guys also cover off of two fantastic Finals of Super Rugby Pacific and the United Rugby Championship, won well by the Blues and Glasgow respectively, updates to the Harry Index of global club rankings, the start of the International rugby season, and what smells like a really knee-jerk reaction by the Leicester Tigers to part ways with Australian head coach Dan McKellar.

Our thoughts with friends and family of Connor Garden-Bachop.
