The Squidge Rugby World Cup Retrospective

After a big week for Irish rugby, it's time to talk about the opening game of an era-defining World Cup campaign for them! As well as their win over the USA, we discuss Netflix series YOU, James Bond, Kilimanjaro and many many other relevant topics.

Theme music is a remix of "World in Union" by Davoli.

It's time for the Wallaroos and the Springboks! We go in depth on a game of two halves, that felt more like a game of one half. In the meantime, we talk Tarantino, Oasis, language and the bizarre stories of some Australian rugby legends.

Theme tune is a remix of World In Union by Davoli. Check out his album "Notes For A New Year" on all good streaming platforms. Sound of the summer.

We carry on our celebration of the 2014 World Cup, as we watch Canada's 31... 5? win over Spain. Who knows, we're still not sure about Schrodinger's Conversion. We talk about nothing other than the game, so don't worry about that.

The theme music for this is a new version of "World In Union", remixed by Davoli.

We kick off the 2014 World Cup with the Black Ferns' crushing of Kazakhstan. We dig into the history of rugby in Kazakhstan, discover a new cult hero and briefly mention the other team that were playing, I guess.

Bear with us, we should have a fun new theme tune next week! For now, enjoy the absolute belter that is the Kazakhstan national anthem.

Woah! We're FINALLY back! And for the first time ever, we're focusing on a women's World Cup! Join Robbie (@SquidgyGoat) and Will (@Will_Owen9) as we (@SquidgeRugby) attempt to cycle through the entire 2014 Rugby World Cup, with an episode reacting to each game. In this week's episode, we set the scene on this World Cup, the history of women's rugby, our relationship with the sport and our expectations for the series ahead.

And yes, we still find a way to talk about Yionel Beauxis.
