The Chargedown 2026 | Season Finale: The Big Dance, Coach Confessions, and Premier 15s Previews

Welcome back for the massive season finale of The Chargedown! This week, Mat Vowles and Jack Wunsch are taking the studio on the road, heading straight to the heart of the action at Viking Park for an epic Grand Final preview.

With the BentSpoke John I Dent Cup and BentSpoke Premier 15s titles on the line, the boys speak to a stacked lineup of key players and coaches who are preparing for the biggest games of the year.

Focusing on the BentSpoke John I Dent Cup, Mat and Jack get the inside word from the two heavyweight camps. They chat with Canberra Royals coach Joe Kolo and utility forward Spencer Scott, as well as Tuggeranong Vikings coach Ryan Schultz and flyhalf/fullback Oscar Shaw, to break down their game plans ahead of the decider.

The action is just as fierce in the BentSpoke Premier 15s preview. The boys grab pitch-side interviews with Viqueens coach Dan Solofa and captain Vika Ngata, alongside Gungahlin Eagles coach Darragh O'Byrne and scrum-half Amy Rebera, to discuss their respective journeys to the ultimate showdown.

In this episode:

  • Pitch Side at Viking Park: Mat and Jack take the podcast on the road to preview the biggest weekend in local rugby.
  • John I Dent Cup Contenders: Grand Final insights from the Canberra Royals (Joe Kolo and Spencer Scott) and Tuggeranong Vikings (Ryan Schultz and Oscar Shaw).
