- Chris Ashton - the best pundit
Ashton is probably the best pundit on any rugby podcast - his knowledge of the game is without question and he has a great way of communicating the technicalities, he is quiet and Jones needs to bring him in more. Danny Care is the opposite, long winded fluffy chat, trying to be funny, a dominant talker of rubbish, offers zero content - a total waste of time.

United Kingdom21 days ago - Where’s the rugby chat?
First ten minutes of the last but one episode was them talking about their trip to Wimbledon, and pure football chat, the rest of the podcast kept referring back to football. If we wanted to listen to that, we’d listen to the football pod.
Apple Podcasts1weprayforlightUnited Kingdoma month ago - Chris Jones is a class apart
Chris Jones is a superb commentator and journalist. Ashy is excellent and Danny is a good contributor. When Jones isn’t on the pod it’s unlistenable.
Apple Podcasts4Piers1409United Kingdoma month ago - Love this show, but…
A really informed show and one that doesn’t over produce… when they have something to say, they say it, but they don’t broadcast for broadcasting sake. My minor gripe is Ashy. He’s such a contrarian and he really needs to think about his longer term media career. He’s a poor man’s Roy Keane
