The Rugby Pod

The lads are on form after a massive round of Champions Cup action, breaking down everything from Saracens win over Toulouse, to Glasgow looking like genuine contenders, Leinster surviving La Rochelle in a bruising classic, and Quins blowing the Stormers away at the Stoop. There’s chat on Henry Pollock being public enemy number one in Bordeaux, Bath’s European march, and why Pool 2 is absolute chaos with everyone still alive. Jim gives the inside line on crisis meetings, second rows and dodgy penalty calls, while we also get stuck into AI coaches and ROG rumours. Plus, the boys announce their first London Six Nations live show at the 12th Knot rooftop at Sea Containers – free for Pod listeners – so it’s one you don’t want to miss.

#12 Scrum Secrets with Steenkamp, Bath’s Big Statement, and Munster Stormed

Four happy men in the studio this week after a blockbuster weekend of Quilter Nations rugby. England made it 11 wins on the bounce despite late fireworks in their clash with Argentina, Jim’s beloved Scotland stuck a half-century on Tonga without conceding a point, and Wales showed real ticker in a brave performance against the All Blacks. But the headline act was in Dublin, where South Africa and Ireland produced one of the craziest Test matches we’ve ever seen – five yellows, a red, scrum carnage, psychological warfare from Rassie, and Irish fans and Boks fans going at it online. The lads break down the madness, look at England’s growing depth and midfield options, debate the Curry–Contepomi tunnel drama, assess Wales’ best showing of the autumn, dig into Scotland’s momentum and Townsend rumours, and ask whether France now boast the best young backline in world rugby.
