Brett McKay and Harry Jones welcome to The 8-9 Combo the new holder of the record for the Most Test Caps for Australia, James Slipper, for first-hand insight into the Wallabies rebuild under Joe Schmidt, and how the Wallabies themselves have marked their performances through the July Internationals and The Rugby Championship.

And now, all eyes will be on the Wallabies as the head north for the November Internationals, where they’ll play their last four Tests before the 2025 British & Irish Lions Tour, against England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland in consecutive weeks.
