Been a fan for many years and enjoyed it but I feel you may now need to change the name to the “English Rugby Pod”. Remember we’re not all obsessed hearing lengthy discussion about the make up of the English Autumn Nations squad or a break down of all the games in the English “Prem”. There are other countries out there. I find myself fast forwarding more often or switching off altogether. You may not be concerned about this as you get more successful but you’re certainly losing me and others.
I think your show is amazing, and I’m just 12 and I get your humour you’re very funny!🤣
Have been listening to the pod for many years but recently felt that it’s changed its tone and it is on a slide. Have tried to stay away from questionable topics in the Rugby world and don’t seem to be interested in seeing it from the other side
Listened to episode 1 of season 10 and can’t believe there was not a single mention of the women’s rugby World Cup.
The numbers for the tournament are in and you guys are clearly out of touch. Dare I say that Bill Sweeney is even more in touch.
Enjoy the show usually but you haven’t tried hard enough during the women’s World Cup. Your analysis of the semis was so weak - you clearly hadn’t watched the England v France match and you had nothing meaningful to say. You can do better - you talk about more eyeballs on the game but you seem to ignore 50% of the population. Please try harder
