Sometimes they sound like they don't like each other.

Was 5/5, no issues with shanks, but flats humble bragging is taking a toll, I think he's losing touch. They should give the episodes titles, for example: - Flats gets his annual new car - Flats gets a ludicrous offer for the rolex that he doesn't care about - Flats winds up an old man while parked up on a pavement getting his 'single origin' coffee - Flats complains about his free holiday to the Maldives - Flats gets another field and f**king flower delivery I'll leave it there, but you get the idea. pull your head back out of your arse flats

Why near to no comments on the Pro 14? Shanks sounds like he is embarrassed when trying to bring the discussion away from the Premiership, no comments from Flats. Shame.

Fantastic POD with Nolli, she is a natural and impressive knowledge of the the game, with sense of humour. Well done boys getting her on!

Flats and Shanks have a great rapport with each other. Two genuinely funny chaps who talk alot of sense on the game. Excellent stuff.

Great entertaining podcast. It may be 30 mins in when they start talking about rugby but the first 30 mins can be the best. Naturally funny people.

The best rugbyish podcast out there Flatman is a comedy genius, he doesn't even know it.
