England Rugby Pod

It's our 150th Episode marking England's opener in the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan as they take on Tonga. We've pre, during and post-match opinions with England ust 7 games from World Cup glory. COME ON LADS!

With just over a week to go until it all kicks off in Japan, we're taking a look (as promised) at Pool C and the various challenges England will face in the pool stages of the 2019 Rugby World Cup. Expect the usual rose-tinted views and bias as we prepare to begin the final part of our 2-year journey.

We're back with the last of our live pods for the 2019 Rugby World Cup warm-ups as England take on Italy in Newcastle before getting on the plane to Japan. A few new combinations and some final game time, PLUS Billy's on 4 in a row -  fingers crossed!!

As England prepare for their final Rugby World Cup warm-up fixture before heading for Japan, we discuss the squad chosen to get the job done, the omissions and injury concerns. 

As Englands Rugby World Cup campaign continues to gather momentum we take another look at that record winning margin against the Irish, the MVP's and what might be next in Eddies plans with only Italy remaining in the warm-up schedule before it all kicks off against Tonga.

As England take on Ireland at HQ in the 3rd of their Rugby World Cup warm-up's, we take a look at the before, during and after as we continue our journey of absolute faith in the boys all the way to the final. 

As England prepare to take on Ireland at HQ, we discuss the 23 selected by Eddie Jones to do the job, Haskell's move into MMA and the changing laws that came a week late for England!

With Dan out of the picture this week but not wanting to miss another live episode, we've called on the expertise of long-time listener and fan of the pod, Billy (BudgieJointed). As England take on Wales in Cardiff in the 2nd of their World Cup warm-up games, can they repeat the success of last week with another 2nd XV win against the Welsh? We've got Pre, During and Post-game analysis so you can see what we thought, as it happened.

With the 2nd of England's warm-up games against the Welsh down in Cardiff, Eddies made a few changes, but sticking with the principle of testing out combinations, it's still far from a 1st team. Can the boys keep their winning run going and if the extraordinary happens, could they find themselves sitting at the top of the world rankings on Monday morning?

England get the perfect start with a cracking "2nd XV" win over a Welsh Grand-Slam winning 1st XV and things are looking good. Eddie names his 31 and we're here to discuss it all.
