This week we revisit the laws of the game with none other than Eddie Jones, coach of Suntory and former Wallabies, Saracens and Brumbies mentor.
It’s a burning issue at the moment but Eddie forces us to take stock and really examine the game closely to the point where you ask yourself… Should we blame the laws or other factors?
As usual he’s a must listen.
The panel wraps up a massive final week of Autumn Internationals with Les Kiss going into detail about the unofficial North v South decider between Six Nations Champions Ireland and Tri Nations Champions South Africa.

This week’s subject is all about sticking to what you know. Too many teams get sucked into playing the game style of their opposition and paying to price.
Today we discuss how teams can avoid falling into the trap of playing someone else’s game.

We’ve been talking about this guy a lot but this week we actually talk to him. Former Wallabies head coach Eddie Jones joins the RuggaMatrix panel for an informative and entertaining discussion on pretty much anything you can think of in rugby.
Now based with Suntory in Japan, Jones talks in depth about the Guinness Premiership decider between Leicester and London Irish, his departure from Saracens and all matters to do with SANZAR’s future too.
It’s Beaver Jones at his best so don’t miss out on one of rugby’s best thinkers calling it as it is.
Super 14 has one round to go and man ... it is tight!
We make some calls (with no confidence) about the final four and Ewen McKenzie has some joy at last about his tips.
Our in-depth analysis subject this week is the LINEOUT.
McKenzie and Les Kiss with some help from Eddie Jones explain in detail how the lineout has been blunted as an attacking weapon under the ELVs and what it takes to coach a successful lineout.

2009 starts with a bang for the RuggaMatrix crew and what a show we have for you first up in the New Year.
Mark Cashman returns from his visit to Perth to give us a full rundown on the coaching situation at the Western Force.
Conditions are cool in the northern hemisphere but for Ewen McKenzie the action has been red hot. Stade Francais is in sizzling form as the French Top 14 heats up.
Les Kiss casts an eagle eye across teams in Ireland and the UK including Eddie Jones’ latest blasting of the Experimental Law Variations or ELVs.
We introduce a new character to our colourful cast this week. Bruce McLane, coach of the New York Athletic Club in the United States brings a fresh perspective on the game and not just regarding his home country. A regular contributor to www.americanrugbynews.com Bruce reveals the very latest on the U.S.A coaching drama involving Australia’s Scott Johnson and his bold plan to save the United States Eagles.
Our special guest star is former Wallaby tighthead prop Ben Darwin. Ben joins Mark and Djuro from Tokyo for a lengthy discussion about the game in Japan. It’s an amazing insight into an often misunderstood region of the game. Above all it’s a fun show to start the year as Super 14 preparations reach their climax and Europe starts the long haul home.
