  • 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.

    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.

  • Do they even want to do this podcast?

    This podcast gives every impression of being one that the Telegraph really isn’t invested in airing and the reporters aren’t really excited about appearing on. (They appear way too enthusiastic whenever they mention “this is the last pod of the season” or “this is our last pod from the World Cup.”)Maybe that’s why the pod episodes are so sporadic. During the World Cup, the pod panelists appeared more interested in sharing their travel stories while covering the event in France. The Telegraph sho... more
