About this episode
The Weekend Post Mortem is back for whatever we're calling the end of year rugby internationals, and it's a special one, with Brett McKay timing the end of a family holiday to finish in Tokyo, and Geoff Parkes deputising for Harry Jones on The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast.
The Wallabies have started their northern tour with a win over Japan in Tokyo in front of Brett and the family, and a win is a win, so they say. It wasn't particularly convincing, and maybe that's not bad given Harry couldn't watch it and the rest of the rugby world had seemingly ignored the match. If a team wins a game in a forest and no-one saw it, is a win still a win?
