There’s unrest in the studio, too, as Adam Mobbs and Michael Carayannis join Phil Rothfield for what he calls the “Buzz podcast”, talking about Haumole Olakau’atu’s decision to make himself available for Tonga and not the Blues, and how the Tongans, Samoans and Kiwis are shaping up to dethrone the Kangaroos at the World Cup.
