Australian conservationist and television personality Robert Irwin broke the news that the 49ers and Rams will play in the NFL's first Australia game next season at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Irwin joined "49ers Talk" host Matt Maiocco, with a python in tow, to discuss what NFL fans can expect from the first game down under. Local legends, Giants broadcaster Dave Flemming and 49ers Hall of Fame linebacker Patrick Willis, followed to offer their views on San Francisco's offensive line and linebacking corps, respectively. Willis also shared what motivated him to make it to the NFL, while Flemming offered insight into his first impression of Heisman Trophy winner and College National Champion Fernando Mendoza. Matt then checked in with the NFL's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Allen Sills, to get to the bottom of the 49ers' injury concerns. Finally, 49ers Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice stopped by to share how he grew out of his shell in the NFL and discusses what type of wideout the Red and Gold need to acquire for next season.
