    Episode 21 - England Roll France, Italy Rise in Rome & The Irish Machine Runs over Scotland
    2025/02/11
    The lads are on great form after a cracking weekend of Six Nations ruggers. They were at Allianz stadium for England v France, so they chat about the electric atmosphere and break down an England win in the context of the tournament, but also in terms of the Borthwick and Itoje eras — we also look at whether Finn Smith has cemented himself as the 10 over Marcus. We cover Ireland's impressive performance in Scotland as Prendergast continues his march as Sexton's successor. Jim gives his take on what it means for Scotland going into a huge game against England. Meanwhile, Italy’s well-managed win over Wales shows a new maturity, but also surely spells the end for Gatland. Plus, Joe Schmidt’s exit from Australia leads to speculation and some big names putting their names forward for the Wallabies gig. Don’t miss our legends lunch at Brigadiers in London this Saturday, tickets for this and our next live shows in Cardiff and Plymouth are on our website! Learn more about your ad choices.

    Episode 20 - England Falter, Ireland Fire & Scotland Survive Scare – Six Nations Round One Breakdown
    2025/02/04
    Round one is done and dusted and how good is it to have the Six Nations back on our screens?! England showed some promise in the first half against Ireland, but a second-half fight back saw the hosts turn things around in Dublin—what went wrong for Borthwick’s men, and how did Ireland’s bench make the difference? Scotland made hard work of it against Italy but eventually pulled away, with Huw Jones stepping up in Tuipulotu’s absence. Meanwhile, France absolutely dismantled Wales in Paris—are they the team to beat this year, and are we seeing any real signs of improvement from Gatland’s side? We’ll be breaking it all down, looking ahead to round two, and answering your listener questions—including which past England player could turn things around and which players put their hands up for each team in the first round of action.

  • The Shaun Edwards Special - The Toughest Coach in Rugby

    The Shaun Edwards Special - The Toughest Coach in Rugby
    2025/01/29
    This week on The Rugby Pod, we’ve got a very special guest – we're joined by one of the most decorated and toughest coaches in either code of rugby, the legendary Shaun Edwards OBE. From his Wales Grand Slam-winning years to building France’s defensive juggernaut, Shaun gives us an insight into what makes him one of the sharpest minds in the game. Dan Biggar gets stuck in with his old coach, reminiscing about their first meeting in Wales camp, Shaun’s no-nonsense approach, and his famous defence from his 12 years with Wales. The lads also dive into his move to France, the World Cup heartbreak, and what’s next for Les Bleus heading into the Six Nations. Plus, we get Shaun’s take on Antoine Dupont, his coaching philosophy, and whether he fancies another shot at international head coaching… or even a return to the British & Irish Lions.
