wow. Women's Rugby World Cup....let's talk about coffee, games, who's arguing with whom rather than....Women's rugby. How did they get to play (pathways), leagues, clubs, opportunities etc. and upcoming games. Poor journalism in my view.
really, really good episode. Wow, thanks.
sound levels are all over the place lately, this one is unusable to listen to
can't download this one
More drivel. Show just doesn't compete with the other rugby shows. I want to listen to it because it's predominantly Welsh but more often than not I turn the episodes off after 20mins
love the podcast. brilliant presenters and great guests.
love the podcast. brilliant presenters and great guests.
daly at 15? you're having a laugh son!
Bombshell of a programme. Brilliantly conducted interview....... Whither Rugby?
The pod has changed since before the World Cup. I still enjoy the banter, but I miss the emphasis on Pro14. I also hate the title music.
Great episode! I like Sean Holly's analysis, he stops Gareth from being too negative!
Try the chocolate crisps while in Japan
Stop eating food while talking!!!! Unsubscribed
yet again, another outstanding episode. Provides marvellous insights into the game and into the human spirit playing it.
excellent pod. balanced views and geninely funny chat.
