Great podcast. Great sense of humour from both hosts and you tell they love what they do. Great stuff
Taylor - Clough. Nesta - Maldini. Bowe - O’Callaghan. Great rapport they have and best rugby pod out there, especially when they aren’t chatting rugby
Love the show lads but soooooo hard to hear you guys at times. I have to wait to listen when I’m in a quiet area, any background noise and I need to turn you guys off.
See you in Cork 👍
Love this pod. Great fun and good analysis too. Donncha, please know that many, many people in England love watching Irish rugby and have huge respect. Our refs feel the same way, too. Wouldn’t miss your pod - thank you for all the laughs and the insight. Only wish Subway still sold the Tommy Bowe Special so I could try it.
Very hard to hear compared to the introduction music level.
Have to turn up the volume to listen to the two boys then my ears get blown off me when the next podcast comes on.
Can this be fixed please 🙏
