Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 4.7k ratings
  • Business first, podcast second

    When it’s on it on, when it’s off it’s awful. It’s just so inconsistent in terms of the hosts, never know what or who you’re going to get. More bothered by who’s sponsoring than the quality of content.

  • Scintillating

    Beautifully nuanced. Respectful of both sides - British and Irish, Australians. Insightful.

  • Quick tap is top drawer

    Hask’s analysis of the Lions and his insight on playing in a Lions tour is some of the best I’ve heard. Good work by the interviewer, too.

  • Don’t purchase the Lock in

    Don’t bother paying for the subscription as they inconsistently post, lucky if you get two a month. When you do it’s just Hask rambling on or telling you about his new music. Also clocked on they post on spotify and then a week later on here, with sometimes eps being missed. Not paying for two subscriptions, very poor and unprofessional media team.

  • Haskell is just annoying

    I can’t listen to James Haskell for more than a few minutes. Epitomised all that was bad in English rugby. Mike T is as good on this as he is speaking live - someone I’d pay to listen to. However fast forwarding past Haskell is too time consuming
