“The pod is great, especially the variety but for the love of something holy please stop the football ads, 3 per episode!!! Such a shame as it takes away so much from the excellent and varied content.”

“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”?”

“Normally a great pod with quality presenters and guests, but it’s time for a change. Get rid of Ugo. He is becoming too patronising and self promoting and perhaps should have less red wine when he is working”

“Single-handedly crucified bbc cycling coverage during the 2019 Tour de France, and now let loose with his dour, unknowledgeable views on rugby. Did this bloke ever play rugby at any sort of decent level? And what is it exactly he has against the Scots? He was noticeably absent from the nations...”Read full review »

“Really love the insights of this pod with pundits close to the action.. the nations pod has potential to bring parity to Scotland, Ireland and wales as it is an England heavy show in general.. The Welsh correspondent is Uber dull and disrespectful in his opinionated remarks but thankfully that’s...”Read full review »

“Great pod today! Hilarious listening to Dawson trying the humility approach. Didn’t last long before proceeding to intricately detail how great they were (and they were). Great player he was undoubtedly was, but leave the humility at home, it’s one thing he can’t carry!”

“Surprise surprise welshman Gareth Rhys Owen slags off England v Argentina game. Shocker! It took irish/scotsman Tom English to add a balanced opinion. 14 men so meant result only, end of. If they’d had 15 men i’d have been appalled.”

“The BBC should be embarrassed. The pro English / anti other ‘home nations’ is in full effect.
Label it as an English rugby podcast and we’d all have more sympathy for their cheerleading.”

“I think the majority of people tune into this pod to catch up with the men’s game and aren’t particularly interested in the women’s game. Perhaps a separate pod could be created to specifically focus on the women’s game and retain this pod to focus exclusively on the men’s game.”

“Absolutely love the pod. Love Danny, Ugo, Chris Ashton, all the pundits, players, experts and guest speakers.

“But they are v. equivocal about Eddie Jones’ future (understandable in DC’s case, of course), pretty hard to determine whether or not they think Eddie should go. I’m surprised. Usually Ugo and Chris are v. clear in their views. And the answer seems obvious now (post Autumn internationals)…..”

This Thursdays episode for example. 43 mins talking about England, 10 mins about Wales v Australia.
Also during the regular season never a mention of the URC all about the Gallagher.”
