Series 3, Episode 26: Weekend round-up and Tomas Appleton on Portugal’s future

Refereeing controversy was once again at the heart of the third round of the 2024 Six Nations, as Paolo Garbisi’s contentious missed kick denied Italy a first Six Nations win in France.

Plenty to discuss for host Ollie Little and columnists Brendan Gallagher, Nick Cain and Chris Hewett in this one!

With The Rugby Paper Podcast being such big fans of Portuguese rugby, the guys were very excited to be joined for this episode by Portuguese captain and legend Tomas Appleton to discuss that win against Fiji, meeting Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal’s future.
