“Terrific coverage of the NZ tour. Some helpful questioning from CJ, but the outstanding aspect for me was the punditry of Paul Grayson and the great Ian Jones. Both provided measured and insightful analysis, and really interesting to hear a deeper, more thoughtful opinion going beyond some of...”Read full review »

“I’ve had a Lovehate relationship with this podcast for years, however, credit where due, the latest coverage of the all Blacks tour has been superb.
Massive credit to Paul Grayson and Ian Jones, they managed to combine cool calm analysis, with characterful and accessible commentary. Ian Jones is...”Read full review »

“Dreadful, spent the whole podcast interrupting Alex Lowe. Needs to shut up, and let the guests speak. Always trying to get his opinion aired - very poor host, no clue how to get the best out of the guests.”

Also Ugo comes across as being very much in...”Read full review »

“By far the best podcast about rugby. A great combination of fun and banter, but really high quality analysis on every pod, by people who played at the highest level. Matt Dawson’s appreciation for great play transcends nationality and his love of the game reminds me of Bill McLaren.”

“Overall I’m a big fan and the balance of serious informed analysis, knowledgeable and current players, banter and fun is very well managed. As one other review said, Ugo’s fake laugh is becoming quite annoying. It comes across as seriously passive aggressive . I’m sure it isn’t meant that way but...”Read full review »

“There are other teams and unions to talk about in the uk. It’s getting a bit embarrassing now the amount of talk England get. Please can we have a mix and include talk
About the URC, should be 50/50 content between Prem and the URC not 98/2!!”

“I used to like this podcast but Dawson’s anti-charm combined with the group’s lazy parroting of opinions are dragging it down.
Is it physically impossible for pundits to talk about Fiji without mentioning that they are “everybody’s second team”?”
