CHICAGO, IL - We were in the middle of a great rugby weekend in Chicago, but the MLR Weekly Staff had its tentacles everywhere, keeping tabs on the Utah Warriors dropping out, a BIG ESPN/MLR announcement, the USA Eagles losing ugly, and a Windy City jammed with ruggers... Featured guest Tom Kindley, GM of the 3-peat Champion New England Free Jacks, shares his thoughts on much of the above, plus the pressures of the new roster rules, tampering charges, his unprecedented/humane advertising of players and expectations of a 4-peat (or whatever that is). 

🎖️ALSO INCLUDED: 
-Rugby Morning’s John Fitzpatrick and Americas Rugby News’ Bryan Ray.
-The College Rugby Corner, with Pat Clifton of the College Rugby Show.
-Cameos by legends in Chicago, All Blacks star Beauden Barrett and NZ Head Coach Scott "Razor" Robertson.

The Rugby Odds: TMO Shot-Clock, Beirne's Red, Farrell Get Out-Coached? Harry Potter, Predictions

Full Interview with Bolton RUFC men's chairman Ben Cottam and 1st XV head coach Ross Hayden discussing recent results in the two cup competitions and looking ahead to their league fixture with De La Salle.

Ben Cottam and Ross Hayden Full Interview 6-11-25 (Bolton RUFC)

If French rugby is fine wine, the Boks uncorked it, chugged it straight from the bottle, and smashed the glass on the way out.

The Springboks have once again marched into Paris like uninvited houseguests, stomping mud across the carpets, smashing the crockery, and pocketing a few heirlooms for good measure. France looked overrated, outmuscled, and utterly unable to dent the Bok defence, while the refereeing circus gave us scrums that made no sense, a red card that raised eyebrows, and yellows that felt more like lottery tickets. Rassie’s substitutions were bold, Siya’s leadership was immense, and Esterhuizen looked every bit the golden key to unlock this side. Sasha or Manie — who’s really the man (hint, it's still Pollard)? Meanwhile, the 9s are bringing the heat, but KLA might not be it.

Beyond Paris, the Northern Hemisphere chorus of “we’re undercooked” rang out again, conveniently forgetting that the shoe is on the other foot every June. Italy toppled Australia, leaving us wondering if Joe Schmidt’s fire has fizzled. Scotland spooked themselves against New Zealand in what quickly became the DMac show. England scraped past Fiji, though the islanders could easily have stolen it, with refereeing once again in the spotlight. Wales, poor Wales, were left licking wounds after Argentina gave them another bruising reminder of reality. And in the background, World Cup qualification permutations rumble on: Namibia struggling, Belgium proving they’re more than just chips.

It was a weekend of broken narratives, hot takes, and Southern Hemisphere swagger, and we’re here to stir the pot with all the banter you can handle.

Ep 80 : Allez Bokke !! La Vengeance Pour France Rugby ...Non !!

[verse 1]
The night was warm in Sydney town
The air was thick with fire
Black and gold across the ground
Each heart a live-wire
From the first pass came the roar
As thunder met the sea
And on that field they wrote once more
Their piece of history

[chorus]
Oh, the game of the century
Where legends took their stand
When Lomu ran through shadowed men
Like tides that carved the sand
Madness met with majesty
thirty-five thirty-nine
And all who saw remember still
That endless battle line

[verse 2]
Australia rose with broken pride
Their fire burned fierce and true
Each tackle sang, each pass defied
The things that men can do
But out of nowhere came the storm
A mountain wearing black
And when he found the open space
There was no turning back

[chorus]
Oh, the game of the century
The crowd too loud to breathe
When chaos danced with destiny
And time refused to leave
Madness met with majesty
Each heartbeat struck in rhyme
They left their souls upon that ground
And crossed the line of time

[bridge]
Try for try, the world stood still
The scoreline shifting fate
Each player chasing something more
Than glory could create
And when it ended, silence came
No one could quite believe
That they had seen the perfect game
And had to watch it leave

[final chorus]
Oh, the game of the century
Still echoes in the flame
Where courage met with chaos
And none would play the same
Jonah ran, and madness sang
Through Sydney’s silver sky
The game that showed what rugby is
And how legends never die

[outro]
So raise a glass to that old night
To hearts that wouldn’t yield
For magic, pain, and memory
Were written on that field

The game of the century

“You know, I’ve heard a lot of music in my time, a lot, but what this guy’s doing? It’s something else, folks. Totally different. People come up to me, they say, ‘Sir, have you heard what he’s making?’ And I say, ‘Of course I have, everybody’s talking about it!’ It’s incredible. Nobody’s ever done it like this before.

He’s got this way of mixing sound, technology, emotion, it just works. It’s powerful, it’s moving, and honestly, it’s beautiful. And he’s not just sitting behind a laptop pushing buttons. No, no. He’s creating, real artistry, real feeling. The kind of stuff that makes people stop and say, ‘Wow.’

They call him the future of music, and I believe it. He’s not following trends, he’s making them. He’s got the best instincts, tremendous taste, amazing control. Very smart guy, very talented. I tell people all the time, when you hear what he’s producing, you’re not just hearing music, you’re hearing what’s next.”

I’m a volunteer radio presenter who also dabbles in some production and administration work for community radio station Bolton FM.

I present Saturday Sport and host Wanderers Live and interview figures for both shows to inform and educate listeners about sporting figures in the town.
