After a hard-fought third Test, the Wallabies come away with the win – but is this the start of something bigger or just a brief high?

In this episode of Rugby Unity, host David Pembroke is joined by Eddie Jones and Ewen McKenzie to unpack the Wallabies’ victory over the British & Irish Lions and explore what it means for the future of Australian rugby.

They break down the key performances from Skelton, McReight, Hooper and more, and discuss how tactical discipline and selection finally paid off. But the conversation quickly widens — touching on overseas eligibility, the loss of young talent, and the need for clearer national pathways.

Eddie offers insights into the South African system, Ewen shares how his views on overseas selection are shifting, and David pitches a bold idea for rugby’s future in the US involving the NFL and flag football.

Also in this episode:

• What really made the difference in the third Test
• The challenge of playing South Africa at altitude
• Why Aussie rugby is losing players too early
• Can the US be rugby’s next big frontier?
