Slow start to Autumn Internationals
Big fan of the pod for many years, but the episode this week was hard work to listen to. Please edit out the tedious repetition of the same old positions around red card laws, and minimize the endless speculation about player and team awards. Good to hear a pov but we don’t need to hear it three times by each person. Aside from that, keep up the good work!
RWC coverage
An across the pond PWR fan and always enjoy this podcast. Really have appreciated the Rugby World Cup coverage. Keep up the good work!
Must-Listen for any rugby fan outside of the UK
Wonderful breakdown of all things English and European rugby. As someone who continuously searches for good rugby content in the USA, this one is the most informative. Worth a listen each week no question. Chris Jones is the go to for English rugby info and if you have the opportunity to listen to him, you take it!

I am a Brit living in the US and this podcast keeps me in touch with rugby which is what I miss the most loving out here . Love the banter and rugby discussion. You guys should get a leave pass and get out to the US for a live pod . Vegas thoughts?
Not for all of UK
I’ll declare that as a Welshman this review will be seen by many as an easy maybe unjust criticism but the podcast is too England centric. Clearly leaning on location and Ugo’s relationships (West London and Quins) but all non Aviva or English topics seem to be box ticks rather than journalism for all. I for one do not care about being inside the England camp or want to listen to Danny Care become a host because he is mates with Ugo. Either become an England only podcast (that’s ok) or represent the country better. As an addition, now we have Chris Ashton on there. Jobs for the boys. Ashton proves that his rugby knowledge outside of it being his job, is subjective to the point of not informative. His defence of the Saracens “cheating” on this pod shows this in abundance.
