RAMS RUGBY

After a falling the wrong side of last week's derby fixture against Chinnor the podcast team reflect on the lessons from that loss and also on a wider scale what has been a tremendous first half of the season for our boys in blue!

We also have making a brief appearance: Mike Tewkesbury and Gary Reynolds talking about the coaching initiatives at RAMS prior to their conference during the week!

A final word to reiterate Spike's words- Thank you so much to all you Ramblers for listening. It's been a crazy ride and we can't wait to pick up recordings again in 2024!

To all of us from Rugby Ramble we wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

This week the podcast are joined by two of the cornerstones of U11s rugby here at RAMS as the podcast team delve into the corker of game last week at the RAG.

It's Derby Week in National One and tonight our boys will be heading over to Thame to take on a very strong in form Chinnor side! It's the last round before Xmas and number one versus number two will be slogging it out for the Xmas number one!

Who will be victorious?! 

If you are free this evening get yourselves over to Chinnor and try and continue the amazing travelling support you the fans have been gathering over the last few months!

It's a call to arms RAMILY! Let's go cheer on our boys. COME ON YOU RAMS! 

The Podcast Crew are joined by a very special guest this week as Rugby Ramble cross over into the realm of the round shaped ball to speak to Reading Football's very own Tom McIntyre, who it turns out has strong familial connections to OBR.

It's great to speak with an athlete from a different sport and hear them discuss the same values and approaches to hardship, graft and sacrifices, we hear from our boys in blue. There must be something in the water! 

We hope to keep an eye on Reading's progression the remainder of the season and hope for stability and growth in other aspects of the club to allow the quality of football on display and the continued support from the loyal fan base to be rewarded tenfold!

After a brilliant chat with Tom, the Stat-Man delves into the recesses of his databanks to bring us up to speed with another nail biting round of National One rugby, as our RAMS head forth to Richmond this weekend for a corker of a match up.

Come on you RAMS!

Rich and Charlie sit down and lead the conversation after arguably the RAMS best performance of the season so far! 

Another entertaining round of National One and the results never fail to impress, Plymouth continue to build on their strong season as another almighty clash is shaping up at OBR. 

Its the last home game of 2023 - so not one to be missed! Let's make the most of the home advantage and support our boys as we head into final stretch of games this side of Xmas!

We hope to have Reading Footballer Tom McIntyre on next week's episode for some local sport cross over! Tune in next week!

Ex Harlequins and RAMS Legend Tim Bell gives an entertaining account of his varied and accomplished rugby career!

The boys also discuss the RAMS being back to winning ways and the looming fixture away to Blackheath - or should we say the club! It's always a great battle against Blackheath and not too bad a journey. If you haven't gone to watch our lads away yet this season, this Saturday is an excellent opportunity.

Congratulations and shout out to our Colts side and the rest of our junior and minis section. Keep up the good work!

This week the team reflect on another loss up at Heywood Road. Despite an unflattering scoreline and the red card for Mr Swain, another decent display from our boys. The Trio discuss the legal, but clear impact of loan players on the league and pose a possible explanation for fluctuating results across the table, as well as the up and coming fixtures of the weekend.

Josh lends his knowledge as we all try and predict the outcomes of the forthcoming rounds - will this week's results be as volatile and mischievous as the rest?

We look forward this weekend to Cinderford making a visit to OBR this weekend. If previous encounters are anything to go by it will be a show you won't want to miss.

The quad-centurion and the most capped RAM joins a reunited Podcast crew after a nail biting finish last week at OBR. The result didn't land the way we wanted, but still some positives to take away from the fixture- a losing bonus point no least...

The Stat-Man has returned from his travels - saving you all from any further attempts of stats and figures from TP or MC Chandler. There's another cracking set of fixtures this weekend - proving once again why this is the best league in Rugby! 

This weekend our boys in blue travel up to Heywood Road - looking to make amends after the trip up last year ended our championship hopes. Sale are looking on form once again - with squad regulars returning- do not be fooled by the bottom of the table position, this is going to be another ding dong and RAMS don't shy away from a challenge!

Best of luck to all the players running out this weekend across the club- COME ON YOU RAMS!

This week the lads discuss the final of the RWC and the South African victory ending what was a tournament to remember.

With the world cup over there's nothing else to take up the rugby bandwidth and National One can once again take centre stage! This week DMP travel down to OBR to face a rested RAMS who look to push on from their strong start to the season!

It's going to be a wet and windy one - so bring your bobble hats (or get one in the shop!) and let's give the boys such a warm welcome back from their break they think its still September!

Best of luck to all the other RAMS teams playing this weekend! Come on you RAMS.

With our usual trio down to a duo the Stat-Man and TP mull over last week's defeat to a very slick Lions team. With a few days of separation providing perspective, there are still a few good take away's from last week's performance and the fixture highlighting just how high the calibre of rugby is this season in Nat One!

Speaking of high calibre - we touch on the spectacular Quarter Finals of the RWC last week, debatably one of the greatest weekends of Rugby in the history of the sport!

Enjoy the time off those who aren't playing and tune in next week as our coverage of the RWC begins to wind down.

This week's episode the team are joined by RAMS player and all round top gent Ollie 'Moff' to here about his rugby journey and thoughts on the upcoming RWC quarter final match ups!

The Trio also discuss last week's round of National One fixtures with some surprise results on the scorecards. 

After another W our boys in blue look to ready themselves for their first visit up to Leicester Lions where the National 2 West Champions are sharpening their claws in anticipation. In the words of our esteemed Mr Chandler: "Come on you RAMS!"
