Lost Forward

We all know what happened on the weekend, and we are not gonna lie: we’re sad.

Kath and Lo are feeling the familiar pull of the Welsh whirlpool of melancholy. There’s an ice cream van circulating ominously in the background. Lo’s Ritter Sport doesn’t even taste good. 

We can’t be objective. We can’t be dispassionate. We can’t be journalists for you, babes. So we’re just going to share what we feel.

Some massive shout-outs to our crew, fans, friends and family; a few classy innuendos as always. And Lo continues to moan about the Crusaders.

Recorded on Mother’s Day, released on St Patrick’s Day ☘️, this week’s ep is brought to you by Tadhg Furlong’s dancing feet, Ken Owens’ kicking from hand and Romain Poite’s chaotic energy. Listeners, don’t be scared. 

Kath and Lo feel #blessed: Ken and Taulupe scored; Akira had a MOTM performance in New Zealand; Wales have beaten Italy comfortably; Anthony Watson remains pure class. 

....but we are still complaining. Should Wales have been more ruthless? Was Ken robbed of his chance for a hat trick? Why did they disallow the Akira/Rieko Ioane score of the season for the Auckland Blues?  And what is going on with rugby players’ haircuts? 

All this plus you’ll discover the important connection between LRZ and J Lo.

We are back and the raging hot mess of 2021 continues.

For a start, we missed a doozy by not connecting the name of our pod with the weekend’s most controversial decision - just another overlooked knock-on, we spose....👀

As well as controversy and discipline, Kath and Lo talk through the positives from Wales v England, prospects for the Wales v Italy and why it’s time to leave “as long as we beat the English“ behind.

There’s a quick round up of the action in New Zealand and the last section is dedicated to the game of the weekend: Wasps Ladies’ victory over Saracens led by standout 10, Megan Jones.

Lo also tries to pitch a buddy comedy starring Justin Tipuric and Taulupe Faletau.

This week is all about milestones and big moments. Skip straight to part 2 (23 mins) for the Wales England preview ! 

Part 1 of the pod was recorded in the Taulupe Fallow-tau week: we reflect on the state of rugby and our role within it as fans. 

Lo also geeks out on the start of Super Rugby Aotearoa, a milestone for Ardie and the retirement of Daniel Carter (whose career parallels another landmark athlete - Kathryn Louise Lloyd).

Part 2 has us on the eve of Wales v England, feeling fluttery. 

The squads have been announced and Kath and Lo are getting amped up for the Clash of the Titans. 

Has Pivac made the right choices at centre? Will the Welsh front row survive against three British and Irish Lions? And how is Skip to My Lou-is Rhys Zammit?

Plus: we ask why Lo’s brute physicality has once again seen her left out of the 6 conversation.

As always, thanks for your support - give us a like and a follow! 

Giddy with the news we have expanded our fanbase, Kath and Lo chat through the weekend's highlights and try out some new features for the pod.

We cover: Wales' unbeaten run (against 14 men); Anthony Watson and LRZ being class; long-standing rivalries; our bid to become a trilingual pod, and Lo's questionable pun game.

We also pose an important question for you to ponder: why are people still sleeping on Justin Tipuric?

Thank you for the support and feedback! Big shout-out to you all!

Kath and Lo talk highs and lows of the Six Nations openers, disappointments in the rugby quiz and ask - WWDCD (What Would Dan Carter Do)?

A bumper episode this week, and best listened to without headphones due to a minor technical hiccup. 

A well-prepared Kath and flustered Lo have a chat about the Wales Six Nations squad announcement, whether fullback is still a specialty position, and why they are starting a podcast. 

What did Kath and Lo learn about each other and rugby in 2020? From quizzes, to Super Rugby Aotearoa, to keeping secrets and lording it over each other, it's been a big one.
