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

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.
