In this week’s show, we discuss some of your comments on the Australia vs France Tests, look at the big matches coming up, and catch up with a couple of guests who know a thing or two about French rugby.
Watch the second video in this new weekly series
Former Wallaby hooker Marco Caputo spent three years in France, playing two national finals and one Heineken Cup final, so he knows a bit about how things work over there.
After the discussion on the site the other day about how many Tests he played, I called him and found out that he was going to be in Sydney.
So I dropped in to his hotel and asked him a few questions about his playing career in France, his toughest opponent, what it’s like on the field in France, and what he liked most about the experience.
You can see some of his comments during the show. Thanks for letting us rearrange your hotel room Marco!
The other personality is renowned French chef and part-time French team ‘mascot’, Guillame Brahimi.
Guillame spent some time playing rugby in Sydney for Woollahra Colleagues, so Mat Collett caught up with his old teammate and asked him a few questions about the French.
It was shot last week, so he was optimistic about their chances at that stage. Keep cheering your boys on this week Guillame.
Other topics under discussion are Australia A vs the NZ Maori next week; the lack of curtain raisers in modern rugby; the Bingham Cup; and the ELVs for the Tri-Nations.
All this, and a few giggles at Mat trying to pronounce “Soaialo”!
We’d love to see your comments and suggestions, as well as ideas for people and things you’d like to see on the show. We look forward to hearing from you.
