    Absolutely love it it’s so accurate and amazing and funny
  • JonYoung1
    Still the best rugby pod
    I’ve been listening to this since the start and - although have had moments when I’ve fallen out of love with it - generally think it’s the best rugby pod out there. As a Welshman I’ve sometimes struggled with the Welsh insight so Biggar has been a superb addition.

    Best around
    No.1 rugby podcast. Nothing comes close
  • PatHil89
    Honest and great pod
    These guys actually say what they think rather than worrying about whose Christmas card list they might fall off. Refreshing and funny. Don’t change.
  • “No use 4 da hooker “
    Language
    With all your rubbish banter about growing the game, why dont you grow up and stop the F words, believe it or not kids and youth are listening to the pod! Stop, it puts people off !!

    Geography loser
    When did Japan drop down past the Equator?? Top show must listen 5 stars
  • Paul R...
    Get Austin on again
    How good was Austin, one of the best out there
  • Nwill C
    Front up
    Either discuss the Stuart Hogg news as you cheered for him in the past, or lose all credibility.
  • GavieC
    Balanced
    Unlike many this pod is honest about the shortcomings of the English Premiership in comparison with the URC and Top14. It also covers all three well. Mind you today’s pod where they forgot that the one person who is always a must pick for Scotland is Zander Fagerson suggests that Big Jim is still too focused on the south.
  • TPQ5454
    Too much banter…
    The analysis, when they get to it, tends to be a first rate. But there is too much bantz (finding this with a lot of pods nowadays). Should be leaner.
  • timclamp
    Goode
    Goode lets this podcast down. Far too occupied with being a lad.
  • Sooopy1851
    Rugby pod
    Great: entertaining , factual and all round amazing . It gave me something to listen to in times of boredom!
  • 19HH94
    Best rugby pod
    Still the best Rugby podcast, can we get back to Jim and Goodey.. since Andy Rowe left we need someone else from the Southern Hemisphere lads. Love it still. Pod Pod Pod
  • JellyDoDo
    An episode without Big Jim, or Goodey …. What?!
    Loyal long term listener but since Andy Rowe left I haven’t enjoyed it quite as much. Do like Dan Biggar but wish his audio quality was better. No longer one I listen to as soon as it drops…sorry lads.
  • the edinburgh commuter
    Pedantic I know but…
    Andy Rowe is still on the Apple podcast version as a host- may be needs updated and a mention of producer Rob!
  • DannyH1987
    Bin bag
    Often sounds like it’s recorded in a bin bag. Lacks the cutting edge of old. Or am I getting older? Time to end the love affair
  • GoWell.Cheers
    No longer the best rugby pod
    Made the switch recently to For The Love Of Rugby and haven’t looked back
  • stopruiningthepodcast
    Over and out
    Andy Goode is a nasty little man and needs to be cut, dead weight on the podcast, dead chat, dead negative a right little Tory boy. No thank you.
  • Gerry (Not Wozniak)
    What happened??
    This used to be by far the best pod for rugby. Now it feels very scripted. It’s more like GBR which I unsubscribed from for the same reason.
  • BernardLerring
    Cut the redneck cr*p
    Not a massive fan of the UFC (read WWE) redneck chat or Goodey flaunting his “I’m alright Jack” political persona but Big Jim is my hero.
  • Shrivaldo
    Downhill
    I used to listen religiously, now it’s boring, repetitive and lacking the humour it once had. Unsubscribing
  • F Sphinx
    Best Rugby Pod
    My go to, a great podcast. A good blend of Goody and Big Jim never fail to entertain and inform. Keep it up boys, long may it continue.
  • Andy_Niven
    Not what it was
    Used to enjoy this pod, but I think it’s coming to a natural end. Goode getting cosy with Farage on GB ‘News’ was final straw for me. Enjoy Big Jim’s show though, so will stick with that.
  • Spad4life
    Great
    Best rugby pod for me!
  • Wild parks
    Desperately trying to stay relevant
    Time for Jim to cut the deadwood. Same old 90’s gags and “when I used to play” material. Goode is a black shirt has been.
  • stevealmost
    Used to like it
    Time to get rid of Jim and bring Nigel Farage on permanently
  • bawbag1962
    Andy why
    Lost me when he did the Farage show Used to put up with him but no longer See ya Lots of other decent podcast out there for Rugby
  • atsoccccccccccccccccccc
    The rugby pod sponsored by…UKIP?
    I knew I had a different political views to Andy. I’ve put aside that he’s a Tory, loves the royal family, loves Piers Morgan… What I cannot ignore is the recent post of him on GB News hanging out with Nigel Farage. Rugby is ‘for everyone’? And Andy is hanging out with someone who has fuelled hate and division in the UK with horrific consequences. Unsubscribed after 5 years of listening weekly and attending numerous live shows. Gutted.
  • Scottpompuy
    Farage
    If Goodie wants to parade himself with Nigel Farage he’s of course free to do so. But I won’t be listening to this podcast any longer. Too much hate and division in this world already
  • TheLordLucan
    Doesn’t work without a presenter
    Used to enjoy this pod (the first 30 mins that is) but since the departure of the cat food Kiwi, it just doesn’t work. Big Jim and Goodey can’t present on their own. Btw, I always skip the ‘interviews’, questions are far too long (from Jim) and the answers always dull. Get current players on to be part of the conversation, like Freddie Burns for example, instead of the usual ‘media type answers’.
  • Nah you're alright!
    Left
    Enjoyed till Goodey started hanging out with Farage. See ya
  • mecartman69
    A pale shadow of what it was
    The banter just isn’t funny anymore; the same gags aren’t amusing when they are repeated relentlessly for years. The talk about their ex-clubs can go on for ages; other clubs will get a slagging, be openly laughed at, then discarded quickly (for example, I’d be surprised if many Harlequins fans listen anymore). Andy Goode is now coming across as nothing more than a nasty bigot. It’s become a very weak podcast - best avoided.
