49ers in Five: How the Niners got to Australia
Summary
The 49ers arrived in Australia for their international game, hosting a student rally and navigating complex logistics including customs issues and stadium renovations. The team faces a significant defensive end shortage with Sam Okuaku ruled out and Keon Height injured, leaving only three healthy options against the Rams. The episode also highlights a potential offensive weakness in the Rams' cover-4 scheme and reports that businessman Vinod Kola's record $9.6 billion purchase of the Seahawks creates a conflict of interest requiring him to sell his 49ers stake.
