“Gave up after 15 minutes of rambling, interminable chatter about what tv shows they watched the previous night. If I want to overhear strangers waffling aimlessly to each other, I’ll go to the laundromat.”

“I’ve been a listener for years (paid Patreon) and yes it has changed but what hasn’t - wheels were wooden, now rubber. Lee is very balanced and Josh is, well, he adds the X (formerly Twitter) factor by “creating” discussion points…which usually end up annoying many people. Lots of fun though.

“I only listened to this episode to here your take on the England win. Surprise surprise no review of the game. Zero humble pie from a pair of cu#ts. Lee your f’ing english!”

“Used to be so good. Now utterly joyless. Listen if you want 20 mins of inverse snobbery and observational comedy (garlic bread?!), zero analysis, and a world of negativity towards the game and anyone who dares not to subscribe exactly to their world view.”

“This podcast used to be very funny pre Covid when they seemed to target their humour to people and players in the sport . It was always in my top 3 . For a long time now the rugby is becoming more and more marginalised and it seems to be a platform for political opinion more than ever which is...”Read full review »

“Hands down, my favorite podcast. Lee and Josh are a perfect pair, and there is more insight and humor in each episode than all the other rugby podcasts combined. I highly recommend you subscribe, and, like me, support them through their Patreon.com page to get all the extras, bonus episodes, and...”Read full review »

“Lee Calvert takes time out from the terrific Nessun Dorma podcast to natter about all things rugby with Josh Gardner taking time out from his rugby shirt obsession. Funny, irreverent, and even insightful. Recommended for all rugby fans, especially James Haskell-haters.”

“Have enjoyed the podcast for 18 months - and disappointed to see a large chunk of it disappear behind the patreon paywall - though of course that is right of Lee and Josh. But the remnant is poor - barely any rugby matches/performances discussed but still plenty of content aimed at patrons such...”Read full review »

“Sadly the show that was like joining a room full of friends who added insight and laughter to rugby, appears to have become the room where you see two blokes round a table just moaning together. Everyone else is now just wrong and they have become all they ridicule. All that and almost no rugby...”Read full review »

“The depth and quality of the insight is second to none. But this is outshone by an overly negative take.
Lee and Josh take a lot of criticism for being ‘woke’, which they are not. But in a world full of hate there is no need to be throwing so much shade at some issues/individuals whilst...”Read full review »

“Please don’t stop hammering your woke, left-wing agenda as I’m not sure I could cope with rugby being solely the domain of podcasts a little to the right of the BNP. I listen to B&M for interesting and informed rugby discussion but the thing that convinced me to become a patreon supporter was...”Read full review »

They are wilfully and openly ignoring science as if it’s an inconvenience that goes against their “woke” narrative. I truly...”Read full review »

1. How racist rugby is
2. How wonderful it is that people are pulling down statues
3. How offensive Exeter Chiefs are
4. How anyone with...”Read full review »

“Big Lol has really developed as a presenter in the last few weeks - solid analysis, good humor and thoughtful insights. Barnsie also excellent.
This review will self destruct to one star the second Jones returns.
Let’s save “Controversy for the sake of it ” to Katie Hopkins.”

Covers all angles:
Knowledgeable, insightful, rugby obsessed (but with perspective) not pandering to any individuals, nations, organisations.
And furiously, gloriously silly.
Inhabiting it’s own little world, but never knowingly taking itself too...”Read full review »

“100 plus episodes of cracking punditry. The guys don’t go for hype and say it as they see it. It’s like listening to two good mates in the pub.
