Much Ado About Rugby

Bit more of a fun episode today as the lads discuss what they would do if they were to take over a premiership club. With Ed taking over Quins, Macsen with Saracens and Mal with Bath, they chat about who they would sign to improve the squad, which ex player they would make Head Coach / Director of Rugby and which beer they would want sponsoring the club.

Euros been happening so might chat about that soon…

Is Harlequins the best attacking side in the world? I think so. 

We're back with some good old rugby chat as Ed and Mal discuss Quins, who will win the Premiership, and the recently announced Springboks squad for the British and Irish Lions Tour. 

Tune in next week for some highly analytical Football chat as the Euros commences. Are we joking? Who knows.

LIONS! LIONS! LIONS! 🦁  With the British and Irish Lions Squad finally being announced, the lads chat all about who made it, the bolters, and those who may have missed out.  Can’t believe Rozzy didn’t make the squad!! 🤬  Who’s gassed for the Lions Tour?? 🧀

In this episode, the lads make their Lions XV off the back of an eye opening Six Nations. Following the downfall of England, how few of them do they include in the team. Does the Welsh flyer Louis RZ make the team? Will Manu Tuilagi be back in time? How many of the Championship side Saracens are in the XV? All questions answered in this episode!

In this episode, Macsen and Malachi discuss what issues lie within England Rugby at the moment. They go through the XV and give their take on who should keep or lose their place in the side & provide there views into whether Eddie Jones should continue as the England Rugby Coach.

Who is to blame for England's sub-par Six Nations campaign? Is this French side the best in the world? Who is going to make the Lions?
