  • Few insights

    The presenters clearly rate their rugby knowledge but it just comes across as three blokes who know very little about rugby repeating what they have been told by players and coaches. They don’t seem to have any analytical skills but rather follow the mood music/amplify whatever is the comment de jour on each team and their respective performances.

  • It’s just not cricket

    Is not the phrase “approach in any direction” nonsensical? Can you approach a point by walking in a circle around said point.

    We need a lawyer, or Brain Moore to be “precise”.

    I jest, this is the only rugby podcast I can find that does not feel like it is curated by the lads. Certainly well informed but maybe lacks a little punch.
