Miles Amatosero reportedly landed five punches on Angus Scott-Young and fractured his eye socket.

1. Scrum Bags Rugby Podcast 2026 opens with Super Rugby Pacific, NRL poaching signings, Waratahs bust-ups and leaked training footage. 2. Lockie and Mitch host the show, and Mitch returns to talk rugby again after the summer break. 3. The episode asks what rugby fans should pay attention to before Super Rugby Pacific 2026 begins. 4. Lockie says the show is moving to YouTube while still staying podcast-first on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. 5. The hosts say the main rugby review-preview episode will record on Sunday and come out Monday morning. 6. They also introduce an 'extra time' segment for Wednesday evening or early Thursday morning through Patreon. 7. Lockie says the Patreon is being treated as a beta until Super Rugby starts in earnest. 8. The hosts ask listeners for feedback on extra analysis, game previews and topics that other rugby platforms are missing. 9. Angus Crichton's move from the Roosters to rugby union becomes the biggest on-field headline. 10. Lockie says Crichton will be available for Wallabies selection after the 2026 NRL season and compares the pathway to Joseph Sua'ali'i. 11. Crichton's background in union gets attention, especially his schoolboys rugby and inside-centre experience. 12. Lockie lists 200 NRL games, 11 international tests, four Origin titles and a 2019 premiership as part of Crichton's resume. 13. Mitch argues that Crichton has a short runway before the 2027 World Cup and may not dislodge current centres. 14. Lockie points to a need for a genuine 12 and says Crichton's size and defensive profile fit that role. 15. The hosts discuss the marketability of league players and how Crichton's profile differs from a simple money move. 16. They also note concussion history, injury risk and the possibility that selection never becomes automatic. 17. A leaked Waratahs training clip then shows Miles Amatosero fighting Angus Scott-Young at Daisyville. 18. The hosts describe five punches, a fractured eye socket, a four-game suspension and concern about how the footage got out. 19. The tone stays conversational and reactive, with long back-and-forth debate rather than formal interviews. 20. Listeners who follow Australian rugby squad news will get the most from this episode, while casual fans of polished, compact analysis may skip it.
