Ep.50 - Smoked meats, a pony and a mattress with Sean Maloney

Sandwich tales, a great Australia start to Super Rugby Pacific, and the return of the Six Nations has Stan Sport commentator Sean Maloney excited, joining Brett McKay & Harry Jones in this week’s milestone episode of The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast. In the 8-9 Combo’s 50th guest episode and 100th overall, the guys compare Harry’s sandwich in a pub in Limerick with Seanny’s extraordinary SuperBowl smoked meat fare, and make everyone hungry, before celebrating the Australian teams start to 2025 to appropriate levels, contemplate Round 3 of the Six Nations and ponder which coach is under pressure now, should a few results go astray, and got through the latest scientific measure that is The Harry Index.
