EPISODE 8: EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW with Matthew Alvarez

It’s all just a little bit of history re-repeating, or is it? Classic Wallaby statistician and all around oracle Matthew Alvarez joins us for an exclusive interview about how he collects statistics, data and fascinating stories about every Wallaby game and player since the game began. We look at the exhaustive investigative style of research that goes into compiling this information and along the way examine the 1920s Waratahs/Wallabies, the link between Queensland's rise and the Wallaby success of the late 20th century and how important it is for the younger generation to know about the triumphs and legacy of the past.

Is there something to learn from history that could help Australian rugby turn itself around? This time we're digging with a professional.
