Attacking Scrum - Wales Rugby Podcast for Welsh Rugby fans

Our guest this week is former Ospreys, Newport and Neath outside half Shaun Connor. He joins us to pick his Dream XV. As well as picking an amazing rugby side, he also shares some stories about the great players he's played with and against. Including the day Zinzan Brooke showed him how to take restarts. Plus the time Filo Tiatia smuggled his mate into Ospreys training...it was Conrad Smith.

This week Ged is joined by rugby writer and blogger Rhiannon Garth Jones to pick her Dream XV. Lots of amazing tangents, including picking players out of position, only selecting full backs in the back three and not wanting to pick Dan Carter because he’s just too good!

Time for another episode of Dream XV. Another good friend of the podcast joins Ged to walk down rugby Memory Lane. There's lots of Welsh rugby heroes from 70's and 80's in here. A real mix of hard forwards and silky smooth backs.

This time, top journalist Ben James is in the hotseat to pick his Dream XV. We talk about Lee Byrne's amazing ability to cut a line, John Davies' amazing ability to drink lots and Jamie Cudmore's amazing ability to fluff a great quote. We also examine how well EA Rugby's fictional fly half C.Heffler would've fared in the modern game.

It's Ged's turn to choose his Dream XV and he's very much gone for his favourites. Who will get the nod at 10? Bennett? Carter? Barry John? Or someone a bit more left field?

With the rugby world suspended due to COVID19, Ged and Dan decided to escape with a bit of nostalgia. A new series called Dream XV where a guest picks a team of their favourite ever players. They could be the best or just the ones you've loved watching. Along with the team, the guest gets to choose the kit, the opposition and the ground they'd like to play at. Some fun and light hearted memories of Welsh rugby and world rugby.

COVID 19 may have brought a halt to sport across the world but Ged and Dan are still in the mood to talk about Welsh rugby. Ged's spent the weekend in Cardiff even though the game was postponed and decided an 'end of season' review would be best. So we look back at the fortunes of Wales this season, along with Cardiff Blues, Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets. The things that went well and the things that need fixing, as well as looking ahead to next season, whenever that might be!

Tuilagi's tackle, Joe Marley touching Alun Wyn Jones' tackle and a try from Tipuric that will go down as one of the all time greats. Ged is still licking his wounds from Wales' defeat to England but optimism arrives in the unlikely form of Iestyn George. They look at all the big talking points and decide how Wayne Pivac's men have gone so far. What needs to change for Wales v Scotland and how good is the rugby they're playing.
