Excellent!!

Love this show and these guys!! Great banter from people actually knowledgeable about South African rugby. Great job picking up where the old crew left off.

Elite banter, mic discipline lacking

Great show, especially for outsiders like myself in Chicago. But the show needs the participants to get closer to the mic or juice up the audio levels during editing. They fix that, then it’s elite all around.

Whimsy with passion

If you want raw passion for rugby, that can laugh at itself, then this is the podcast for you. The banter is the lighthearted exchanges of people who share real affection for each other, not testosterone-fueled posturing. And they know their rugby. This week they also endeared themselves to me by announcing which games of the Rugby World Cup they would be discussing, without spoilers. That meant I could hit pause and rush off to get the Scotland v Ireland game watched on tape delay before I listened further.
