Seriously informative and in depth - if you want proper rugby analysis, this is the place to go!
Top class
Bias against Wales notable.
The rugby paper is excellent, however unfortunately these old boys can’t hold a flame to the competition podcasts. Occasional good analysis tarred by constant outdated anecdotes and clear disconnect with todays game. Just listen to the July 5th 2023 podcast and their predications for the Rugby Championship, pretty funny how wrong they are.
If I wanted a podcast about the situation in Ukraine, I’d have searched for that. Two days after a great six nations round and we get the best part of an hour on the Ukraine war?!
