WSotR Series 1 E17: Berets, Old Front Rowers and an Irish Goodbye (Ulster vs. Montpelier, Challenge Cup Final 2026)
About this episode
The episode discusses the Challenge Cup Final 2026 between Ulster and Montpelier, highlighting player absences and the hosts' humorous commentary.
We tried setting the couch up inside San Memes in Bilbao but security wouldn't let us so you'll have to enjoy us this way. This was chocked up to be a huge match; Ulster with 4 big players out gave them the underdog status that we all knew they could hold, but could they deliver? If you ask their coaches as they walked out early, no. Tocco continues his complex relationship with all things French, we talk a live show coming up while we're in Saranac, Jones can't stop talking about Cormac izuchukwu and his cornrows and the efficacy of old man front rowers. This episode may have been loosey goosey, but we're locked in. Mostly. It's rugby the way you've always wanted it; cold beer in hand, partly right and confidently incorrect. Welcome to the Wrong Side of the Ruck, we think you'll like it here.
