    $15(aussie) per month and we get a 17 minute Monday Night Rugby. What a joke. Costs more than Netflix. Way better quality rugby podcast out there for free. RTE Rugby podcast , Indo rugby Podcast and the Left Wing just to name a few.

    Hi guys,

    Love listening to the rugby podcasts but could you set it up that the latest downloads go to the top of the list not the bottom, it’s a pain in the hoop the way it is at the moment

    Cheers

THE SIX NATIONS SHOW | Relationship with Aoife Wafer | Eating disorders and body positivity| SILVIA TURANI
Q: Fingers crossed. You mentioned there that yourself and Aoife Wafer are teammates at Harlequins at the moment. Any chat between the two of you this week or do you try and keep your distance?
We've been good friends; she messages but I'm not always quick to reply. We're arranging to meet the day after the game, and she's very supportive especially around rehab and training as we both focus on staying professional.
IRELAND TEAM ANNOUNCED! | Wafer, King & Wall are back đź’Ą | SCOTT BEMAND
Q: Team announced today obviously for the first game. Do you reckon the strongest team you've ever picked since coming on as head coach with Ireland?
The coach responds that the group continues to get stronger than the World Cup group and that the 36-player squad is a strong, improving group; he stresses balance, depth, and the belief that the Six Nations cycle will keep expanding the strength of the team.
