  • SA game

    You really didn’t come down strongly enough on what was a blatant gouging incident there guys. You were right not devote too much of the episode to it, but the time you did was essentially ‘the slow mo makes it look worse’ and ‘maybe it was an accident’. Mann was lucky that in the melee of players he was still able to move his head away. Gouging can blind you in that eye. Thats career ending and lifelong disability

  • Wales fans don’t doubt

    Love the pod. The only thing that frustrates me about Welsh Rugby is the journalism and specifically by Gareth Rhys Owen. He seems to suggest he’s asking the questions the fans want answers to, but is just sensationalising matters that the fans aren’t at all concerned over. Generally we don’t doubt things will turn around, and in the meantime we’re 100% behind the boys and don’t for one second doubt they are giving their all for the jersey. GRO doesn’t speak for us. As I say, my only concern for... more

    There isn’t much rugby discussed on this podcast, if they ever get a break from getting depressed about the politics of the WRU then it’s a cosy chat about the personal lives of former professionals. Anyone hoping to hear about the actual games or the on field developments of the sports is going to be disappointed.
