Have to listen to this as my only Welsh rugby fix, but Gareth Rhys Owen doesn’t half talk some garbage and ask some stupid questions. β€œSo, Will Rowlands, can you just elaborate on what it means to β€˜plant your feet in the tackle’.

Great insight and interviews. Are you going round all the regions for similar. Welcome back from the World Cup. Your coverage there was very good and really enjoyed the pod to camera on iPlayer as well. Cheers.

I must say I was very impressed by Rhys Patchell in this episode. He’s a personable, articulate and intelligent man. Leigh’s personality and articulation manifests itself exclusively on the rugby field, where he is peerless. On a radio podcast, however, he is the antithesis of articulation-...Read full review »

Great discussion post Wales’ hard fought and nail-biting victory over Fiji and great to hear my (X)/ [artist formerly known as Twitter] mentioned. Agree wholeheartedly with Nicky that whilst there is lots of noise about the referee, in a game that good he should take a good deal of credit for...Read full review »

Possibly the most vanilla rugby podcast out there. I only listen because I’m a rugby fan and Welsh to boot, but every time I listen, I wonder why I bothered. This is a pity, because it’s a BBC podcast, so they get access to players, etc. that are unavailable to rugby podcasts run by amateurs....Read full review »

Why has this week your podcast stopped being downloadable from outside the Uk ? You do know there are Welsh rugby fans that live overseas ?

Great to see the pod land this lengthy interview with Warren and Nigel. I thought Gareth challenged well and managed to avoid the fawning sycophancy that some can fall in to with national coaches. He got answers on a few of the particular details that have been bothering fans over the last four...Read full review »

Lauren and GRO can be a bit pompous and condescending at times. And I have to laugh at the pretentious decision to get rid of the distinctive β€œGood podcast!” intro. It’s like when Dos Equis got rid of the popular β€œMost Interesting Man in the World” character because of some nebulous belief among...Read full review »

Another excellent podcast. The only way we get to find out what is going on in Welsh rugby on a weekly basis. Look forward to it every week. Hopefully there will be some sort of clarity on how Wales move forward as we clearly cannot continue like this very sad time.

I for one would like to see Scott Robinson replace Mr Pivac immediately! But equally desirable is a change of attack coach. Is Mike Cat available? Stephen Jones is just not good enough imo and possibly a bit complacent/comfortable in the job. Discuss.

Got to agree 100% with Lauren - time to ditch the cringe-inducing β€œGood podcast, by the way” clip. Have belief in the fact that it is a good podcast. The clip at the start of the intro suggests that you are not confident in the merits of your own work. Get rid of the clip.

Just want to say that this season I have really enjoyed the line up of Gareth, Nicky and Lauren as presenters. All different, obviously, but in a complementary way. A nice mix.

Now that the WRU has actually recognised the problem I hope that the (otherwise) excellent ScrumV will give it some serious attention.

Please, please, PLEASE remove the tedious UFC v URC segment. It’s never added anything and takes away from an otherwise brilliant pod

Started listening to the podcast at the start of the 2019 rugby World Cup in Japan. As a Saffer the builder and post match analysis of the semi final was thrilling. Probably the best podcast if you want to follow the new championship, the URC. Only one request, please change the theme song back...Read full review »

Brilliant series by Ashton Hewitt and Gareth Rhys Owen on the 74 Lions tour! As referenced, Bobby Kennedy suggested that any positive contribution to highlight inequality can have a positive ripple effect!

As an exile living in Birmingham the podcast is great weekly fix, keeping me up to date with all that is Welsh rugby. Taken me a while to get used to Gareth & Nicky but there now. Always fantastic interviews! Ironically I absolutely hate the review section. Complete waste of time! V

I’ve been an avid listener during the past year. Really enjoyed the banter and the guests. Would be good to try and find a way of highlighting North Wales connections to bring an all Wales feel. Just ask George North, Robin McBryde, Johnny Williams to talk of their links. Thanks Molly,...Read full review »

Great pod really enjoying definitely helped through the pandemic. Gutted for the boys from Cilfynydd RFC who missed out on the Lions selection. Perhaps Nicky needs a visit to sign up a few boys!!! Disappointed a few more welsh boys missed out especially foxy, tomos and Francis.

Like previous reviewers the fixation with 5 stars is amusing but seems to be working as having checked rivals you are well up there and equal with the mighty Rugby Union Weekly.
