H cup round up, Sarries suck it up, Andy asks why does he have to roll away and isn’t allowed in the side, Jaime Joseph sticks with Japan and another kiwi native….former England captain Dylan Hartley retires. All in this weeks what the ruck.

A previous upload of this podcast had some audio issues at the beginning. These should now be fixed. Apologies for any confusion!

So, the long arm of the law (sort of) has finally caught up with Saracens. Niall and Andy give their thoughts on the long overdue slap on the wrist handed down to Saracens for breaking the salary cap for the last 3 years running.

“The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men, gang aft a-gley”

Well, we planned to bring you breaking world cup news as it happened, but sadly, life found a way to high tackle us down. However, we are back to talk about the Rugby World Cup 2019 final between the Springboks and the broken springs…. I mean England.

We are hoping to get a bit more regular again, so look out in your feed for more rugby ramblings. As always like and subscribe on your favourite and least favourite podcasting platforms, and follow us on twitter and instagram!

So, in what will probably be our last WTR podcast before the World Cup kicks off, Niall and Andy sit down to discuss how the pre-world cup international matches have been, whats going on with the world rankings, the french league getting off to an impossibly early start and lastly, Niall gets something off his chest #wetballoon.

Let the world cup begin!

Welcome back to What The Ruck podcast.

This week saw the end of the most important competition in the Rugby calendar (until September) as the Rugby Championship came to a close.

First up, Niall and Andy discuss the New Zealand vs Australia game from Saturday, and how the teams are looking going into the World Cup, then we have an Andy Asks about superstar rugby players and then finally we throw it over to David to meet our #maninjapan for the tournament… Fergus.

So, after a long (unplanned) break we can finally bring you our interview with ex Brumbies/Montpellier/Australian International full back, Jesse Mogg.

He took some time out of his schedule at his current team Pau and was kind enough to meet us in Montpellier to talk about his career, some speculations about the world cup, and anything else that Niall could think of basically! As well as that, we have some amalgamated Rugby news from the last month, and a chat about the England squad (with added gloating from David)!

Hopefully our next pod won’t take as long…

So thats it, the French league is over for another year. We reflect on the game and catch up on our final bets for the year, with a shocking reversal of fortunes for Andy.

After that we go over the newly announced pools for the Heineken cup and work out who has got the bum deal, and then finally a look at rugby news, including David’s rundown of the preliminary squad announcement for England.

We will be back in the next couple of weeks with a World Cup build up special, and all things going well, an interview with a special guest!

Hello hello, and welcome to the penultimate episode of What The Ruck podcast this season. This week we talk about the upcoming final in the French Top 14, place our last locks of the week and then announce the winners of the first ever What The Ruck Rugby Awards (WTRRA’s for short), oh and then some Rugby news.

David is joining us via the magic of the internet, so apologies for any sections where the audio is not quite up to our usual (low) standards! Fingers crossed you enjoy it nonetheless.

With David out of the country, it turns to Niall and Andy to pull together a pod. This week we discuss the Gallagher premiership final, the top 14 playoffs, the under 20’s world cup and then a bit of rugby news.

Not forgetting of course, our penultimate locks of the week with Ol’ Smooth Jimmy…

We are back for another week of What The Ruck podcast, and boy what a pod we have for you today. We go over the Pro 14 final, where Leinster finally had their day in the sun, have a look back at the Gallagher semi’s and a look forwards to the final. David places what looks likely to be his last bet, we discuss some big scores in rugby history, the 95 world cup food poisoning fiasco and then make some not so bold predictions about the upcoming world cup. Finally, we round out with one bad bit of news and one good. Balance and that.
