- Largely good
Nations pod is good and Jones and Ashy are good value. Monye’s constant mentions of corporate sponsors is ridiculous and irritating though- please keep ridiculing him until he stops!

United Kingdoma month ago - Great to have John Barclay back……
Why does Chris Jones ask such long winded questions (we are not stupid) and then immediately talk over the guest when they reply - he is so frustrating to listen to
Apple Podcasts1The back row chapUnited Kingdoma month ago - Nations pod
This is so enjoyable and informative. Thanks all involved. Nick
Apple Podcasts5MDKblueboyUnited Kingdoma month ago - Poor
The nations pod is truly excellent but I could easily skip the other episodes. Chris Jones is great but can’t listen to Monye, Care & Ashton
Apple Podcasts3tamba la bambaUnited Kingdom2 months ago - Twickenham episode
Wow, what an anti-English episode. I have a lot of good memories of twickenham, but they just spoke about English losses. Quick note about 2003 team that’s it.
