Wallabies dominate in Schmidt farewell | Nations Championship Post-Mortem

The Wallabies conclude the July leg of the Nations Championship with a dominant win over Italy in Perth, and with it, the Joe Schmidt era comes to an end to an with a Wallabies ‘Kiss of life’. Jim Tucker joins Brett McKay on the 8/9 Rugby Post Mortem to run through what really was an excellent performance from the Wallabies, clinical in their 57-10 win over the Azzurri over in Western Australia, and in front of a third straight sell-out crowd through this tournament. The Wallabies started superbly and had the game well in control by halftime, before kicking to record their biggest win in years. #rugby #rugbypodcast #89Rugby #AustraliavFrance #AUSvFRA #Wallabies #NationsChampionship Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro & Match Result: Australia vs Italy (57-10) 1:38 - Headline: Wallabies Dominate in Schmidt Farewell 4:22 - Match Highlights: Josh Canham’s Hat-trick & BPA’s Start 6:10 - Tactical Deep Dive: Speed of Ball & Precision in the 22 9:55 - Rising Stars: Josh Canham & The Lock Depth 12:15 - Backrow Debate: Carlo Tizzano’s Performance & World Cup Prep 13:51 - Areas for Improvement: Finishing Line Breaks 15:07 - Fullback Form: Tom Wright’s Resurgence 16:25 - Italy’s Disappointment & The Long Season 18:24 - Around the Grounds: All Blacks clinical win over Ireland 25:40 - Looking Ahead: The Les Kiss Era Begins Find us on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever else you get your podcasts Social media: search for ‘8/9 Rugby’ on Twitter, Bluesky, LinkedIn, and on Instagram, too And please do check out and subscribe to 8/9 Rugby on Substack: https://89rugby.substack.com/ Find Brett on both Twitter and on BlueSky: @BMcSport Music: "Up Above" by Letter Box (via YouTube Creator Studio)
