It's Valentine's Day and Kath and Lo are crazy in love...with the weekend's action. Lo shares her hot take on Antoine Dupont (before Matt Dawson says it a week later in the paper). Kath shares her extensive notes on a never-in-doubt Welsh victory over Scotland.  Join us as we discuss Ellis Genge's potential as England's replacement fly-half and Zammo's reluctance to bundle Darcy Graham into touch.  There's also a quiz, a Kourtney Kardashian kameo, and an answer to the million dollar...

Kath and Lo are back at it...but are they even talking about rugby? It's been a while, babes, so we thought we'd return during the Men's Six Nations to muse on: what the hell we've been up to; Lo's vibe curation; whether Welsh rugby has hit rock bottom; who of us is more like Marcus Smith, and how good KL is at renovation work. It's a caulker.  We've missed you. Buckle up. 

What’s happening, mush? This week Lost Forward meets a Swansea hero - Ben John aka The Rugby Trainer 🏉  Ben chats to Kath and Lo about his playing career with the Ospreys, the difficult decision to step away after ongoing issues with concussion, and how he went from PT at a gym to the best rugby trainer on Instagram with over 40k followers! Ben has grown a brilliant following through his tips, tricks and training through lockdown. Follow him @therugbytrainer for cracking drills, analysis...

Lost Forward meets Zainab “Zee” Alema. Rugby player, mother of three, neo-natal nurse and all-round legend Zee joins us on the pod this week. Zee has founded @studsinthemud - providing rugby boots and equipment for women and children in Ghana - and @muslimahrugby - a group supporting Muslim women in rugby. On top of this, you might have seen her on social media recently because not only is she @thetimes Grassroots Sportswoman of the Year, Zee is sharing her journey to become the first...

This one’s all about love. Continuing our series of interviews celebrating the Women’s Six Nations, Lost Forward meets Bournville Ladies Vice Captain Naomi Gardner.  Naomi‘s love and passion for the game shines through, as we chat about grassroots rugby, including: a surprise childhood rugby memory; players gassing it; and how she keeps her team motivated when things get tough. Naomi and the pod also talk about tackling racism in (and outside of) the game. Naomi shares her thoughts and...

Kath and Lo are back! shooting the (redacted) and working on our natural chemistry. We ponder a thought-provoking start to the Women’s Six Nations and lush feedback from our interview with Megan Jones (check it out!). We also ask: how to analyse women’s Test rugby without considering the unevenness of the playing field?   There’s also hot news from Aotearoa as the Crusaders lose at home (finally!) and the ladies ponder whether the rip is the new jackal. Plus: Lo reveals why she should...

Kath and Lo are delighted to share their first ever interview on the Lost Forward podcast! Who better to kick off for us than the inimitable Megan Jones, a Cardiff lass who is pure class!  Born and raised in Cardiff, but English qualified through her mother, Meg moved to England as a teenager to pursue her rugby dream. Meg plays 10 for Wasps Ladies, England Women and GB Sevens, and she's got a fascinating story to share. Meg is set to feature for the Red Roses later today as they take on...

We all know what happened on the weekend, and we are not gonna lie: we’re sad. Kath and Lo are feeling the familiar pull of the Welsh whirlpool of melancholy. There’s an ice cream van circulating ominously in the background. Lo’s Ritter Sport doesn’t even taste good.  We can’t be objective. We can’t be dispassionate. We can’t be journalists for you, babes. So we’re just going to share what we feel. Some massive shout-outs to our crew, fans, friends and family; a few classy innuendos as...

Recorded on Mother’s Day, released on St Patrick’s Day ☘️, this week’s ep is brought to you by Tadhg Furlong’s dancing feet, Ken Owens’ kicking from hand and Romain Poite’s chaotic energy. Listeners, don’t be scared.  Kath and Lo feel #blessed: Ken and Taulupe scored; Akira had a MOTM performance in New Zealand; Wales have beaten Italy comfortably; Anthony Watson remains pure class.  ....but we are still complaining. Should Wales have been more ruthless? Was Ken robbed of his chance for a...

We are back and the raging hot mess of 2021 continues. For a start, we missed a doozy by not connecting the name of our pod with the weekend’s most controversial decision - just another overlooked knock-on, we spose....👀 As well as controversy and discipline, Kath and Lo talk through the positives from Wales v England, prospects for the Wales v Italy and why it’s time to leave “as long as we beat the English“ behind. There’s a quick round up of the action in New Zealand and the last...

Is Lost Forward your new favourite podcast? Hundy. This week is all about milestones and big moments. Skip straight to part 2 (23 mins) for the Wales England preview !  Part 1 of the pod was recorded in the Taulupe Fallow-tau week: we reflect on the state of rugby and our role within it as fans.  Lo also geeks out on the start of Super Rugby Aotearoa, a milestone for Ardie and the retirement of Daniel Carter (whose career parallels another landmark athlete - Kathryn Louise Lloyd). — Part...

Giddy with the news we have expanded our fanbase, Kath and Lo chat through the weekend's highlights and try out some new features for the pod. We cover: Wales' unbeaten run (against 14 men); Anthony Watson and LRZ being class; long-standing rivalries; our bid to become a trilingual pod, and Lo's questionable pun game. We also pose an important question for you to ponder: why are people still sleeping on Justin Tipuric? Thank you for the support and feedback! Big shout-out to you all!

Kath and Lo talk highs and lows of the Six Nations openers, disappointments in the rugby quiz and ask - WWDCD (What Would Dan Carter Do)? A bumper episode this week, and best listened to without headphones due to a minor technical hiccup. 

A well-prepared Kath and flustered Lo have a chat about the Wales Six Nations squad announcement, whether fullback is still a specialty position, and why they are starting a podcast. 

What did Kath and Lo learn about each other and rugby in 2020? From quizzes, to Super Rugby Aotearoa, to keeping secrets and lording it over each other, it's been a big one.
