  • Wales are winning

    This is an excellent podcast. In Lauren & GRO we are fortunate in Wales to have the two best media presenters in UK rugby. They complement each other perfectly, between them representing the extremes of optimism & pessimism that are typical of rugby in the land of our fathers. I know we’re struggling where it really matters at present, on & off the field, but these are golden years for our rugby broadcasting.

  • For all our sakes stop

    What a load of rubbish. Just a rambling load of old codswallop. Zero facts. Zero rugby. Please stop

    Wasting our time with your meaningless speculation about something you,I, nor anybody knows what is happening.

  • Race for the Eight: Excellent presenter: lousy programme

    The crisis in Welsh Rugby is unresolved – and this will evidently be the case for some time. Gareth Rhys Owen is a fine broadcaster who offers thoughtful, balanced comments. I therefore listed in to get the latest perspective. The first six minutes were total drivel: what are the player’s middle names? What were you doing at the weekend? It seems obligatory that this some of silly exchange is accompanied by a cackle of laughter (aren’t we a hoot!).

    The edit between the analysis of the we... more

  • Excellent pod, one weak link

    I think the ScrumV pod is excellent and the new pundits have breathed fresh life into it, and Lauren is excellent. The only thing holding it back is Gareth Rhys Owen, who still has a “gotcha” journalist mentality in wanting headlines over just a balanced and normal discussion. It feels quite basic in how he goes about things
