Great show, love listening to it each week. Really glad Leslie has become a regular, as I nearly always agree with everything she says, while mainly disagreeing with everyone one else. Just kidding you’re all great…but I do mainly agree with Leslie. Keep up the good work!
A podcast about Scottish rugby, but most of the interesting discussion about Scotland’s games is locked behind a paywall. It would make the podcast far more engaging if that content was included in the main show and supported by sponsors instead.
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.
