  • Celebrating the Christmas Miracle!

    Another great pod basking in the winter warmth of the Christmas Miracle that was the slaying of the Connacht Dragon. I didn’t listen on the school run - but did listen on a pre Christmas visit home to Ebbw. From the Real Welsh Expat (now safely back in Sussex, and yes it’s a big County)

    This pod always delivers. Jamie and the guys are always honest and don’t sugarcoat anything, giving a real fan opinion on the state of the club on and off the field.

    Mr LeClare’s been a great addition, love his positivity!

    We may never finish at the top on the pitch but we are number one in the podcast URC table by a distance!

    I myself was born in Bridgend but my grand father was born in Ebbw Vale so I have a strong connection to the dragons. I’ve really been enjoying these pods ever since I found them. I love the insight and knowledge the presenters provide, hoping for an awesome season!
