Rugby Australia's debts blow out to almost $89 million after draw-down of PEP facility
Phil Waugh is hopeful that windfalls from the 2025 British & Irish Lions tour and the 2027 RWC will be more than enough to pay back the debt.
Sportswriters Brett McKay and Ryan O’Connell are toying with unlucky numbers in Episode 87 of the Cheap Seats podcast.
With such a milestone episode upon us, the boys have again opened up the show to the listeners, answering #AskTheCheapSeats questions that came in thick and fast over the last 10 days.
Topics were wide and ranging, and included – among others – Wallabies playmaking, sightseeing on the tour of Bangladesh, NFL, Roger Federer, Usman Khawaja, Ellyse Perry, injury-prone bowlers, the Roosters whinging, generational change in the Australian cricket team, kids eating cat food, day/night Test cricket, NRC and ITM Cup teams playing each other, Sam Burgess, Aussies killing it in the US, the NBL and the NBA, and Robbie Farah.
And there’s a bombshell about the podcast itself, which we won’t spoil, but will just say “thanks”.
As always, you can get us on Twitter at @CheapSeatsPod, on Soundcloud, iTunes, and the TuneIn radio app.
And stay cheap!
