Love this show and these guys!! Great banter from people actually knowledgeable about South African rugby. Great job picking up where the old crew left off.
Great show, especially for outsiders like myself in Chicago. But the show needs the participants to get closer to the mic or juice up the audio levels during editing. They fix that, then it’s elite all around.
