| 5/13/26 | S2 Ep 34 - A Prem Rugby Cat Amongst Prem Rugby Pigeons | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! The league table says one thing, but the rugby says something else: the Gallagher Premiership run-in is starting to feel like a scrap, not a procession. We start by pulling on the biggest off-pitch threads of the week, including talk of Welsh, Scottish and Irish clubs joining the PWR and what that could mean for professional women’s rugby, talent pathways and international standards. We ... | 1h 33m 29s | ||||||
| 5/6/26 | S2 Ep 33 - Is This The Start Of A Rugby Civil War? | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! Rugby doesn’t get to hide behind tradition any more and that’s the thread running through everything we talk about. We start with the Bristol Bears “marketing agency” comment and the reaction it sparked, because it cuts straight to the modern fight inside the sport: do we want rugby to grow, make money, and reach new fans, or do we want to pretend that commercial reality is somehow benea... | 1h 21m 36s | ||||||
| 4/29/26 | S2 Ep 32 - Prem Rugby's Weekend For The Wingers | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! English rugby can put on a brilliant weekend and still feel stuck in place. We start with the good stuff: club rugby silverware, big days out, and the sense that participation is finally stabilising after Covid. Then the mood turns as the RFU governance vote gets binned, locking English rugby into the same old structures for years. We talk honestly about what that could mean, from leader... | 1h 28m 31s | ||||||
| 4/22/26 | S2 Ep 31 - Prem Rugby Round 13 Unlucky For Some | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! Two finals in two weeks. One RFU vote that could change who gets a say in English rugby. And a Premiership weekend that lurches from a proper ding-dong at Sandy Park to scorelines that make you wince. We start with our own club world as the Westcliff Lions march into a league final and a cup final, talking leadership, young players learning the hard way and what finals day really feels l... | 1h 29m 39s | ||||||
| 4/15/26 | S2 Ep 30 - Champions Cup Quarter Final Crunch Time | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! Knockout rugby doesn’t care about your feelings, and the Champions Cup quarter-finals prove it. We start with a quick dose of real-world grassroots rugby, from survival maths to sore heads, then jump straight into Premiership Rugby transfer chatter: who is still shopping, who is capped out, and why George Furbank heading to Harlequins says a lot about contracts, squad depth, and the mode... | 1h 16m 57s | ||||||
| 4/8/26 | S2 Ep 29 - Lawes Is Back & So Is The Champions Cup | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! Courtney Lawes is coming back to Premiership Rugby, and I’m equal parts delighted and furious. We unpack why a 37-year-old can still be a difference maker, why Sale landing him changes the feel of their recruitment overnight, and how quickly England should be picking up the phone if they want more bite, edge, and week-to-week consistency in the pack. From there we zoom out to the busine... | 1h 14m 23s | ||||||

| 3/25/26 | S2 Ep 27 - The Pragmatic Prem: A New Prem Rugby Era? | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! No relegation, franchise-style planning, and a Premiership Rugby “reset” that could change English rugby for the next decade. We get straight into what the new structure really signals: less pretending, more long-term certainty, and a clearer pitch to investors who want to know what they’re buying into. We talk expansion timelines, why 2030 matters, and how a smart map (not just a bigger... | 1h 06m 25s | ||||||
| 3/18/26 | S2 Ep 26 - Six Nations Super Saturday Sojourn | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! Ninety-four points in Paris will do funny things to your mood as an England fan. One minute we’re watching England finally play with ambition, carry hard, and move the ball like a proper Test side. The next, we’re staring at another late swing, another lesson in game management, and Thomas Ramos doing what Thomas Ramos does from the tee. We take Super Saturday in order and pull out what... | 1h 18m 53s | ||||||
| 3/11/26 | S2 Ep 25 - Forza Italia & Up The Scotland... Less Said About England The Better | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! A weekend of rugby made one truth impossible to ignore: courage and clarity beat caution every time. We open with Ireland steadying their identity against a ferocious Welsh defence, where McCloskey’s carrying and Gibson-Park’s tempo rekindled the familiar squeeze-and-strike rhythm. Wales brought heart and heft, racking up outrageous tackle numbers and unveiling a front row with bite. Rhy... | 1h 07m 14s | ||||||

| 2/25/26 | S2 Ep 24 - England Exposed, Ireland Composed | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! A week that began with jokes about sore calves and team-name puns turned into one of our frankest breakdowns yet. We open with the biggest off-field story: reports that the RFU council is set to back a franchise model, pausing promotion and relegation while plotting a path to expanded conferences by 2030. We explore why this shift might be necessary to stabilise the Premiership, how it c... | 1h 14m 55s | ||||||
| 2/18/26 | S2 Ep 23 - England In Reverse, France In A Different Universe | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! A round of Six Nations rugby that felt like a truth serum: Italy no longer “plucky,” England stuck in the wrong gear, and France blending steel with swagger. We open in Dublin, where Italy’s identity is no longer a theory but a threat. Their scrum rattled Ireland, their defence held shape under pressure, and their attack showed an all-court game that creates, not just reacts. Ireland got... | 1h 18m 41s | ||||||
| 2/11/26 | S2 Ep 22 - France Flex, Italy Ignite & England Efficient | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! A night in Marseille told a bigger story: France didn’t just beat Ireland, they showed how to turn slow phases into strike ball against an elite defence. We walk through the blueprint — tall, mobile back-row hybrids, ruthless ruck speed, and a 10–15 axis where Jalibert and Ramos dictate choice after choice. When a pack offers three or four live options every touch, the defence tires in t... | 1h 19m 03s | ||||||
| 2/4/26 | S2 Ep 21 - Six Nations One Podcast | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! A shock retirement, a tournament on edge, and three games that could rewrite the pecking order—this Six Nations kickoff special goes deep where the headlines meet the hard questions. We start by reflecting on Uini Atonio’s sudden exit and what he changed about front-row play: mass with skill, power with evolution. From there, we chart the tournament’s pressure points: England’s shift fro... | 1h 19m 29s | ||||||
| 1/28/26 | S2 Ep 20 - RFU Strategic Plans Enough To Bring In The Fans? | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! Two truths collided this week: English rugby is trying to grow up fast, and the Premiership is a brutal teacher. We open with a Barking away day and a soon-to-be dad’s “one last season?” question, then jump into England’s Six Nations squad with calm heads—celebrating Greg Fisilau’s fit for a flexible back row and a front row picked as a unit, not a collection of names. The real intrigue ... | 1h 33m 03s | ||||||
| 1/21/26 | S2 Ep 19 - Transfers, Try-Fests & Turmoil | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! A weekend of rugby that actually moved the needle: transfers shifting the Premiership landscape, a coaching carousel with Razor-sized implications, and European performances that exposed who’s real and who’s bluffing. We open with the Newcastle Red Bulls’ rebuild and why their layered signings suggest a club planning for a full-season grind, not just headline moments. Then we zoom out to... | 1h 27m 36s | ||||||
| 1/14/26 | S2 Ep 18 - Champions Cup Conundrum: Prem Power, South African No Shows & Fading French | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! A stormy European weekend delivered clarity and chaos in equal measure. Saracens dragged Toulouse into a classic slugfest and found a way, Bordeaux lit up Bordeaux with ruthless counter-punching against Northampton, and the Bulls shipped 61 at altitude as Bristol ran riot. We connect the dots you care about: why Premiership sides are winning more, how Top 14 mid‑table priorities skew Eur... | 1h 20m 21s | ||||||
| 1/7/26 | S2 Ep 17 - Gloucester Gloom Grows Whilst Saints Style Shows | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! A sold-out Kingston Park, a year-long drought snapped, and a recruitment plan that actually makes sense—Newcastle’s resurgence sets the tone for a week where club identity matters more than hype. We unpack how the Red Bull-backed project is prioritising prime-age talent, robust coaching, and behind-the-scenes investment that turns travel, data and welfare into wins. It’s not about Galáct... | 1h 27m 25s | ||||||
| 12/31/25 | S2 Ep 16 - Rucks, Mauls & Oval Balls 2025 Rugby Wrap Up w/ Mark Williams (MWRUGBYCOACHING) | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! Joined by Mark Williams from MWRUGBYCOACHING Two hours of rugby without the fluff: we look back at 2025’s biggest swings and set our stall out for 2026. From the Lions’ series win to Elliot Daly breaking French hearts, from Bath’s irresistible maul to Saints’ statement in Europe, we map the moments that mattered and why they’ll shape the year ahead. We get into the rise of Steve Borthwi... | 1h 21m 32s | ||||||
| 12/24/25 | S2 Ep 15 - Wild Weekend Where Exeter Stun Saracens & Saints Slice Through Sale | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! A weekend that felt like a pressure test for the Premiership delivered on every front. Leicester bullied the basics and shredded Gloucester’s confidence, Exeter turned the StoneX into a second-half workshop, Saints ran riot against a leggy Sale, Bristol lit up Big Game while Quins wilted, and Bath rolled out an eight-man bench detonation that shows exactly why they’re so hard to live wit... | 1h 22m 56s | ||||||
| 12/17/25 | S2 Ep 14 - Franchises For Prem & Fixing Faltering European Rugby? | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! A pint-soaked weekend in Cork quickly gives way to the biggest question in English rugby: is a sealed Premiership the only path to stability? We don’t dodge it. We weigh romance versus reality, outline how a franchise model can expand into Yorkshire and the southeast without ripping clubs from their roots, and sketch a ten-year roadmap that funds academies, powers a revived A‑League, and... | 1h 33m 01s | ||||||
| 12/10/25 | S2 Ep 13 - Champions Cup Mega Pod | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! European rugby didn’t whisper this weekend—it roared. We dive straight into a Champions Cup slate packed with statement wins, shock upsets, and a few uncomfortable truths about where the competition stands. From the moment Sale’s injuries met Glasgow’s 25‑minute surge, the theme was clear: momentum punishes hesitation, and the best sides control the tempo. We unpack Saracens suffocating... | 1h 40m 53s | ||||||
| 12/3/25 | S2 Ep 12 - Saints Stumbled, Harlequins Humbled, R360 Crumbled? | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! A week off and the rugby world refused to sit still. We kick things off with the headlines: R360’s two‑year delay and why the money never looked real, a quietly improving Premiership balance sheet that’s letting clubs hand out deals to 2029, London Irish stirring again, and ITV nabbing England tests for free‑to‑air. Great for reach—so long as the coverage upgrades from remote sofas to re... | 1h 38m 12s | ||||||
| 11/19/25 | S2 Ep 11 - Bomb Squad, Pom Squad & Los Bombas | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! A 12–0 hole against the All Blacks usually means lights out. Not this time. We break down how England wrestled control back at Twickenham: Ford’s cold-blooded drop goals, a backline reshuffle that added real speed with Marcus Smith at 15, and a pack that went from shaky lineouts to statement scrums. Dingwall and Lawrence offered balance and bite in midfield, while Underhill and Earl set ... | 1h 33m 59s | ||||||
| 11/12/25 | S2 Ep 10 - Fiji Frights & Pom Squad Delights | Send us a text... thoughts, feelings & feedback are all welcome! We will address them on the podcast! A bright afternoon in Bath set the scene for a tougher truth: cohesion beats potential. We walk through England A’s sobering loss to a slick New Zealand XV and pull out what matters for selection, development, and how fast “promising” becomes “test-ready.” Two names rose above the noise — Ollie Hassell-Collins under the high ball and Tom Pearson around the breakdown — but the wider lesso... | 1h 19m 33s | ||||||
