- Barely any informative rugby content
Usually the first 7-10 minutes is plugging sponsorships, their own day to day lives, or this week the football, on a rugby podcast. There is little genuine, insightful, FACTUAL rugby insight, and instead is just “I know…,” “my agent is his agent” attempted name drops, and while podcasts are about opinions, these are heavily biased and usually wrong. The self congratulatory commentary is non stop. Biggar is always a highlight when he’s on with his impartiality and great knowledge.

Excellent pod cast. Bigs has been a brilliant addition-insightful, funny and also quite humble. Jim’s analysis has improved no end and he’s still very amusing. Rob is fantastic-great knowledge for the grass roots guy. Goodey is goodey, I want to dislike him but I just can’t quite. He’s a great commentator and always has a bit of gossip.
Keep it up lads, I have even caught my wife giggling away.
Apple Podcasts5ReogkUnited Kingdom4 months ago - The best rugby pod by far
Hands down the best rugby podcast out there. Great banter, real knowledge, and the guys stay humble while telling it straight. Great weekly rugby updates from a fun crew!

Generally enjoy the banter and the broad coverage of the 6 Nations but seriously Goodey - Scotland’s last back to back wins were in 1984? Doesn’t a Grand Slam in 1990 imply back to back wins? Surprised no one picked that up….Jim.
