  • Turn up the volume please

    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 🙏

    This is not just my favourite rugby podcast, but my favourite podcast of them all. Tommy and Donncha clearly love the game and their enthusiasm is intoxicating. They are not afraid to pull the punches and hold each other to account, constantly taking the mickey. I laugh out loud during every episode. Keep up the good work.
