- 3G pitches!
Not a fan of plastic pitches, but DC’s statement on travel up to Newcastle being an issue on injuries is a load of tosh! Newcastle have to travel to to every others club!

United Kingdom2 months ago - Substitutes
Interesting discussion on the lack of competition in women’s six nations but no mention of the impact of subs? A lot of the England matches are competitive until the final half hour but once the bench come on, it’s soon over as a contest. This is a problem for men’s game too but even more apparent in women’s game with England so physically dominant.

Apple Podcasts5WDL NobleUnited Kingdom2 months ago - 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!
Apple Podcasts3Matt2FoxUnited Kingdom3 months 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
