From the archives of Buckshot Podcast this episode was recorded in Mar '22 and I'm delighted to be joined by former Munster & Connacht flanker Robin Copeland. Now plying his trade in Angoulême, we discuss the good life in France (I think I've convinced him to take up coaching), being too healthy-looking for the role of Oliver, French lads smoking on the bus and his brilliant path from reluctant farmer to pro rugby player.

From the archives of Buckshot Podcast this episode was recorded in June '21. Making a stunning return to Buckshot-mania is editor and chief of Three Red Kings, Tom (Macho Man) Savage.
This chat is one of my favourites to date. Tom very honestly shares his harrowing life story from when I saw him last. It is a frankly terrifying but uplifting account of how his life came crashing down around him and how he clawed his way back to now crushing the rugby media game here in Ireland.
I can guarantee you this will be an episode you will listen to more than once.

Brother to 'friend of the show' (the hilarious) Denis Fogarty. John exists in a brilliant Smörgåsbord of mania, hilarity, beautiful-aggression and intelligence, culminated in a vessel so country (South Tipperary to be exact), Luke Fitz nicknamed him him 'BOGATRON" in Leinster.

From the archives of Buckshot Podcast this episode was recorded in Nov '19 and I sit down with 2 time European champion, former Ireland and Munster backrow Denis 'the Rock Of Cashel' Leamy.

From the archives of Buckshot Podcast this episode was recorded in Feb '21 and I sit down with one of the funniest and intensely-honest former rugby players I've ever had the pleasure of chatting with.

We chat about embracing the native Tipperary madness, the rough ride in rotating back to the real world and I try to convince Denis to try stand-up.
