- Not for Northern Teams
Great podcast if you want some great insight into Rugby. However, if you support one of the Northern teams be prepared for minimal mentions or discussions!

United Kingdoma month ago - Too much discussion on Quins again!
Please spend more time discussing all other teams in the Premiership. Just because DC and Ugo are part of the team shouldn’t mean every other comment comes back to Quins.
I do enjoy the discussion but spread it around more.
Thanks
Apple Podcasts3BB65xUnited Kingdoma month ago - England Rugby Union Weekly

Today Ireland beat Scotland, Wales won their first game in years and France won the 6 nations and 35mins into a 50min episode and it has been all an over excited review of how England played. It’s the same every episode.
Wales have scrum 5, I’m sure Scotland have something similar so I’m not saying England shouldn’t have a podcast by the BBC I ju... more

The Nations pod has become so dear to my heart. I love rugby as much as the three of you clearly do. I would love a special on your favourite players from different decades. Starting with the 60s?
Thank you boys.
Apple Podcasts5Eltam ElfUnited Kingdoma month ago - Need a lot of editing
One of worst podcasts I have ever listened to. Deeply unprofessional. An absolute travesty to have the BBC logo on this. There’s no editing. Just some men talking about Rome in a completely disorganised farce of content. There’s barely anything about rugby. A disgrace.
