“I only came onto this after Off The Ball went behind a paywall. Some good stuff but all the lads are tripping over each other to get their point in, and talking over each other consistently. Unprofessional and irritating.”

“Lads, just wanted to say that your review of the Irelands World Cup was excellent. Balanced and honest. Loved it. As someone who inhales all podcasts on Rugby….you do a great job every week.”

“Overall great free Podcast listening for 18 months. Following now. Room to improve for Ireland -
Gibson Park charge downs
Line out set up and separation
Hard to see any other specific areas where Ire did not outplay Sarah
Really only one “gimme” kick mixed by SA. Two speculative 50+ mtr kicks,...”Read full review »

“Great podcast great discussions an a nice mix of opinions. But Luke, you were a professional rugby player, please please remember rugby has laws not rules. As an ex ref and player it is a simple thing and it differentiates our spot from others. Still a big fan

“Career suicide by Franco, Luke by association, with an episode that tarnished the reputation of the show! Perhaps an overreaction but most certainly a costly editing error that is a lesson to all.”

“Describing half-Filipina Marcus Smith as having an “Oompa Loompa tan” is utterly disgraceful. Shame on him and his bigoted views.
Won’t be listening to this again- have found far better, and more varied, rugby podcasts.”

“Good podcast. Fitzgerald passionate about his rugby. Retired players have to be careful about invoking all the time the phrase ‘when I use to play’ but that’s the point. They have played at the highest level and therefore have an acute feeling about the game. A little biased towards Leinster but...”Read full review »

“Used to love this podcast, but Jesus lads to come on and bash CJ Stander after all he has given to the country is a joke.
He has done his time! If he wants to go home and be with his family or even play rugby in SA, who are we to question him?
He gave so much to the green and red jerseys.”

“As an Ulster fan i was a bit nervous subscribing to a Leinster leaning podcast but i was surprised that it’s a really good listen. And unlike other pods it’s not too chummy and over pally but very professional with great analysis 👍🏻”

“Have listened to since start and ignored the Leinster bias but tired of the sour grapes around Irish selection. We have one of the lowest foreign born selections in the World Cup. Can’t wait til the negative nellies are proven wrong. It’s not Joes job to select on nationality but form and...”Read full review »

“Generally a good podcast. Guests are great.
However long rambling questions from Luke, so long and rambling I’ve forgotten what the original question was as has the interviewee.
Great addition having Ruaidhri and Cian contributing. Gives it more structure and more balanced analysis.”

“Usually interesting to listen to the guests and Luke does have some good stories and insights from his career. However, Luke does talk over people a bit too much and it’s hard to listen to him having ‘banter’ with former teammates...”are Nugget and Ferg still the same as ever, yeah?”...”

“The ‘banter’ at the start of each show is painful. I find Will’s accent and attempted humour painful. He’s like the geek in school that’s been giving a free rein on a mic. Luke can be great but I wish he’d cut his questions in half- can be rambling and still interrupts far too often.”
