This week on Play On Pod, Candace, Rob and Pearcey are back. They break down rugby’s biggest talking points.

Over in Super Rugby, there’s plenty to unpack: A controversial referee collision in Highlanders vs Hurricanes- accidental or avoidable? Positioning, game awareness, and how referees can (and should) adjust A bizarre conversion decision that raised eyebrows Scrum and maul moments in the Brumbies clash that highlight ongoing technical challenges in the set piece We dive into a niche Law of the Week- 15:1 moment from Leicester v Exeter, Can a ruck exist over the goal line? Stat Central returns with numbers that tell their own story, while Trends & Talking Points explores how evolving attacking shapes are influencing off-the-ball incidents—and how players are increasingly trying to work referees through assistant refs.
