  • Rapidly becoming my favourite rugby podcast

    As a well travelled Pom who’s come to spend his life in North West Auckland I love this pod. I used to listen to Andy Rowe when he was the Weird Fish on the Rugby Pod. Thank the rugby podcast gods that he’s got this one. Marshy is just quite simply a legend and Rainman is quality (also a Gloucester legend so I’m biased)! I love the views on the game that Marshy and Jeremy have and they speak a lot of sense. Keep up the brilliant work!

  • Only one issue

    Want to give this a 5 star review as I love the concept and do enjoy the chats but the audio is awful, the guests always sound like they are whispering and the hosts shouting. So I have to constantly change the volume so I can hear guests then drop it back to protect my ears from the shouting.
