You wanted more so we delivered. Whilst the Welsh carninval has left town, a fresh opponent arrives on our shores in the form of Georgia. They are next up on the Wallabies' schedule in what will be their first test in Australia since the 2003 Rugby World Cup.
In a quirk of fate, their director of rugby, Rama Chand is well-known in Australian rugby circles, having worked across a number of roles at the Queensland Reds before uprooting his young family to Tbilisi.
Rama tells us all about the various competition structures they are involved in, the hopes at club and national team level and does some mythbusting on the Georgian's love of the scrum.

Episode 4 - The Lions, the GP and the Boardroom: Jamie Roberts
The episodes are dropping thick and fast now. In today's episode we chat to Welsh & British Lion superstar Jamie Roberts, who also comes with unique qualifications as a Cambridge graduate and trained doctor.
Jamie is an excellent advocate for the modern player, speaking eloquently but also openly and honestly about the challenges they face, along with the game itself.
He also takes us through some fond memories playing for the Lions and some big Welsh victories over England.
Believe it or not, we have more content coming for you. The Welsh team move on to their next destination but in comes Georgia for their first bilateral tour to Australia and we have a great guest lined up from the Georgian Rugby Union to tell us about it.

Episode 3 - The Dawn of Rugby's Professional Era: Simon Poidevin
In today's episode, 1991 RWC winning backrower Simon Poidevin joins the show to talk about his view of the Welsh rivalry prior to the World Cup era, the game's transition into the professional era and it's future through the eyes of his son who plays professionally in the United States.
Poido's post-playing career has been even more remarkable, not only being in the in the broadcast booth for Channel 7 in the Wallabies' other RWC final victory (in 1999) but also leaving a significant impression on the Australian corporate sector, a rarity for a high profile athlete.
After that chat, we check in quickly with RCV president John Anderson about the phenomenal response to this series, but also to demystify the organisation somewhat and learn more about its goals going forward.
Episode 4 will feature Welsh & British Lion superstar Jamie Roberts, who also comes with unique qualifications as a Cambridge graduate and trained doctor.
