Welcome back to another edition of the Canberra Times sport podcast with a bumper week of sport in the capital to get through.

This week in the bunker we've got sports editor Chris 'Blocka' Dutton, Eamonn Tiernan and Kyle Mackey-Laws as we talk Raiders, Brumbies, Giants and plenty more.

The Raiders are playing for their season when they host a red-hot Penrith in the capital on Sunday afternoon with a bumper crowd expected at Canberra Stadium.

The Panthers are expecting a full-scale attack from the Raiders and are keeping a close eye on rookie winger Nick Cotric who has enjoyed a stellar debut season. Could he be a World Cup bolter?

Christian Lealiifano thanks Brumbies fans ahead of his departure to Ireland, while we also dissect the Super Rugby saga and the Wallabies chances in the Bledisloe Cup.

The Canberra Vikings name their NRC squad with Olympian Tom Cusack to skipper and we also touch on the GWS Giants and all your local sport.
