Summary

Thank you for joining me tonight, and the entirety of the series if you’re a regular visitor. True to form, it’s been a couple of months of brilliant theatre.

I’ll leave you with Angus Fontaine’s match report. Stay tuned for plenty more analysis during the week.

If it’s live stuff you’re after, you don’t have long to wait with the Matildas in action on Friday and the Wallabies on Saturday. Then we’ve got the Wimbledon finals later on this weekend, with the Ashes continuing next week as well as the Women’s World Cup kicking off! I’ll be here for plenty of that, so feel free to return and keep me company.
