  • Real lack of knowledge

    Consistently gets player names wrong, information in games wrong, and seem to be genuine fans of the game, but the kind you would come across in the pub, who ‘watch the internationals;’ fair weather. Some good opinions, but unfortunately, waxing lyrical about Bill Sweeney, who is on a campaign to ruin English rugby, earns a low score.

  • Fantastic

    My go-to podcast (rugby or otherwise) every Monday morning. I’ve been listening for 10 years now (not quite from the start, disappointingly).

    The boys really know their rugby, they have opinions - some vary from mine but that’s healthy - and they are passionate about the game. Listening to them is like being the fourth person in the pub - thoroughly entertaining. Keep up the great work.

    Love the blah!
