  • Nobody cares about Iona

    Please talk less about Iona on the college show. It’s gotten old. Plenty of other programs to talk about.

  • Awesome Rugby Show!

    There are a lot of good rugby pods out there, but Matt’s show has to be top 1 or 2. Love the guests, the laughs and of course the insight. Matt is a fantastic host and great interviewer.

  • USA Rugby Media G.O.A.T.

    Short, bald man full of funny quips and impressions continually questions why he started a show about rugby in New York. Interviewing a range of players and guests including (Sir) Lizard Lewis whose wit, candor and incredibly terse delivery is Scottish in every way possible.

    Other recurring guests include a deranged (but lovable, like the way you like your gramps) Irishman, a gentle (also short and bald), kind and well informed Canadian, and the shockingly dry (but always informative) British ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

MLR Weekly: Ex Utah Warriors HC Greg Cooper (Now in Japan), NCR All-Stars Recap, MLR News
Q: How would your team, the Green Rockets, fare against the Warriors?
Cooper believes the Warriors would give the Rockets a good run for their money, especially if they were at full strength, considering the injuries that plagued the Warriors last season.
Rugby, Rugby Wrap Up, MLR Weekly, Will Magie, Chicago Hounds, Matt McCarthy
Q: Do you think that you'll attain the level of success where people will stop calling you Will Magie and start calling you by your real name?
It doesn't bother me either way. Hopefully the success comes and all the credit will go to the players and the coaching staff.
The Rugby Odds: Shameful Bulls/Stormers, Munster & Ronan Sick, Champions Cup, World Rugby's USA Plan
Q: What caught your eye on the rugby side of things this weekend?
There was two things. Number one, Bath absolutely just wanted to pummel somebody. The second thing was Leinster playing violently against La Rochelle.
MLR Weekly: California Legion CEO Adam Freier, Eagles RWC Pool Expectations, College Championships
Q: What's the big difference for you, aside from the difference in the role from GM to CEO?
Freier discusses the shift in MLR towards developing US talent under a stricter salary and recruitment strategy, emphasizing sustainability as much as performance.
MLR Weekly: Major League Rugby Co-President Graeme Bradbury, MLR News, College Rugby Championships
Q: Is there one thing that you want to see change the most?
The way we present the product to the live crowd has to be better and more understandable to the live crowd.
