  • When it hits, it hits!

    A curate’s egg of a podcast. It’s 70% Hugo talking and his voice is quite grating especially his high pitched “yeaaaaah it’s a good point” catchphrase. However when it is good, it’s an absolute belter of a podcast and truly unique compared to other Irish rugby podcasts.

    I heard a nasty rumour that these lads are gick so ive had to withhold a star. but a decent listen overall. Not sure i buy the one lads stance that routine massive shifts in position would be successful in pro players.
