  • Super podcast, annoying production

    The analysis and insight from the team is superb; recent casts breaking apart how rugby is evolving in the Southern Hemisphere were especially good.

    The producer for some unknown reason puts background noise (crowd, ref whistles) underneath the conversation, in soma cases making the discussion unintelligible.

  • Rugby

    Pretty boring podcast when the guys talk about down lines and the technicalities of the sport. Would rather hear their opinions on the storylines currently in rugby (i.e the rising prevalence of red cards)than some drivel about up and down lines zzzz.

  • The only decent Rugby show in NZ

    Ross Karl is doing an outstanding job with this show. It is well structured, thoughtful and insightful. He asks good questions, and is mindful of being the audience with him. It’s excellent. We have nothing else like it. Honestly, put this against the tedious bickering on the Breakdown, it’s not even close.

    James Parsons is a very good rugby analyst. He will only get better the more distance he gets from the current crop of players too, at the moment he is clearly uncomfortable being too criti... more
