  • Chris Ashton is marvellous

    Great addition to team: very ruby knowledgable, funny and listens to others and accepts (at times) bullish positions. Keep listening due to his and Danny Care’s contributions

  • Can Chris Jones pipe down?

    This podcast is becoming hard to listen to because Chris Jones is interrupting his expert co presenters constantly to shove his views down everyone’s throats. And he lacks real

    Insight and is frustratingly “establishment” in his views so often times it would be nice to hear what others have to say without him railroading everyone

  • Chris Jones to Barcelona

    Waste of time, learnt nothing about England rugby, he talked golf and football! Jones is a generalist (who thinks he knows rugby) unlike Ashton etc who know the game inside out. Interview with Cowan dickie was interesting but why fly to Barcelona to do that! No wonder our licence fees are high!

  • Poor

    This pod has fallen off a cliff recently. It is so English biased and disrespectful of British rugby outside of England. I can’t listen to Chris Ashton as he offers nothing in analysis, Chris Jones is a decent presenter but is to busy having a laugh with his lightweight co-hosts. The only episodes now worth listening to is the nations pod with Tom English and GRO. There are better options now sadly. Non English licence fee payers are being short changed.
