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.
Best rugby podcast by a country mile.
Excellent insight and intelligent discussions. Always a great listen.
Like Johnny the appearances are fitfull and sporadic, but when they do appear the quality shines through. The lads are chuffed to have made it to the 249th rated Irish sports podcast. Keep up the quality content and the top 200 beckons….
