  • Regrettable

    Actively advocate for inclusion of males with trans identities in women’s rugby. Unable to listen to misogynists who dismiss women’s safety or access to fair sporting opportunities.

    Used to be a regular listener but it has been getting worse and worse with all main topics going behind paywall. Just listened to an hour long episode titled “URC knockouts preview” where the URC knockouts was only discussed for 5 seconds. Says it all unsubscribed.

    Might be ok if edited to not more than half the current length.

  • Scottish Rugby Wokecast

    A weekly hour long discussion of the Scottish game. They can cover a lot of ground - mens, womens, pro teams, and Super 6. Preferred it when "Hands in the ruck" wasn't reserved for Patreons. They tend to be happiest when venting about woke issues - don't expect a nuanced discussion, they only invite guests on who share the views held by those already in the echo chamber. They can't criticise anyone on the women's team, they can only criticise the SRU and Javan Sebastian - so long as you accept t... more
