## Resource

We take the couch to the land of the rising where Jones and Tocco are in for a hell of a match during the Japan Pro League One Finals. The Kobe Steelers and Kubota Spears give a hell of a game, but we all know we're really just here for Dave Rennie and what he may bring to the All Blacks next year. Like Brodie Retalick, who may have been cast in the next Sling Blade. We talk on how Tocco may still hate the French but he's clearly had enough beers to think that the Top14 is the best league in the world. There were scrums a tight head could salivate over, a side quest into broadcast technology and the old Koenig Special shows up from back in our playing days. So pull up a bit of the couch because this is rugby the way you've always loved id; cold beer in hand, half cocked opinion based on absolutely nothing and good people to argue with. Welcome to the Wrong Side of the Ruck. We think you'll like it here.
