This week on Rugby Unity, Eddie takes a breather—and for the first time, we welcome a very special guest to the show.

Wallaroo and podcaster Emily Chancellor joins David Pembroke for a detailed look at the women’s game and what it’s going to take to grow women’s rugby into the future.

With just 59 days to go to the Women’s Rugby World Cup in the UK, Emily gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how the Wallaroos are preparing. She talks visibility, investment, and why the women’s game is reaching new audiences the men’s game isn’t.

They talk late starts, ACL comebacks, TikTok stars like Ilona Maher, and the kind of momentum you can’t ignore.

If you care about rugby’s future, this is the podcast for you.

This week on Rugby Unity, the R360 saga rolls on – and Eddie Jones and David Pembroke are back in the trenches to make sense of it all.

With whispers turning into headlines and LinkedIn posts revealing mystery investors, the questions keep piling up: Who’s driving this? What’s the plan? And why is no one fronting the media?

Eddie thinks it might just be the shake-up rugby needs. David isn’t buying it—and he’s worried the circus could blow up the Lions Tour before a ball is kicked.

They cover:

• Why fans and clubs are right to be nervous
• The media silence that’s fuelling speculation
• Whether player burnout is being used as cover for something else
• And if R360’s secrecy is a sign of innovation—or chaos

The biggest shake-up in rugby history—or just a fantasy?

In this week’s episode of Rugby Unity, Eddie Jones and David Pembroke go head-to-head over the much-hyped R360 competition. Is it the catalyst rugby needs to force change, or a reckless distraction that threatens everything fans love about the game?

David pulls no punches as he calls out what he sees as a media-fuelled fantasy built on fluff and fairy dust. Eddie sees it differently, drawing parallels with World Series Cricket and the IPL. The debate goes deep into what R360 could mean for the global game—from the money and logistics to tradition, values, and the future of international competitions.

It’s a fiery episode that pits optimism against scepticism—and asks whether rugby’s future lies in tradition or transformation.
