If these guys had a bar of gold they would moan how heavy it was. I listen to a lot of rugby content and this Pod is by far the worst.
Honest and informative news and review about Welsh rugby.
How did these two journalists ever think they were right to deliver a podcast. Oh my days their delivery is enough to make you want to sleep. I know they care about Welsh rugby, but surely they can liven up their podcast with some good news. Thank goodness for Lauren and GRO I say!!
I do enjoy listening. The lads are very well informed and come across as nice chaps.
But I really struggle with Ben James’ pauses mid sentence. I am constantly checking my phone to see if the audio has failed. He really needs to work on this for a podcast format
Unfortunately 1 star is the lowest, they need to start a different podcast because talking about rugby is not their strong point. Especially Steffan Thomas just talks trash all the time.
