The Scottish Rugby Podcast

A weekly hour long discussion of the Scottish game. They can cover a lot of ground - mens, womens, pro teams, and Super 6. Preferred it when "Hands in the ruck" wasn't reserved for Patreons. They tend to be happiest when venting about woke issues - don't expect a nuanced discussion, they only invite guests on who share the views held by those already in the echo chamber. They can't criticise anyone on the women's team, they can only criticise the SRU and Javan Sebastian - so long as you accept that these are black and white issues you'll probably love it.

This is not going well.

Irl Scot review took 12 minutes to start the podcast. Listened at 1.5x speed just to get through it. Confused & poorly made points of view. A shame as they sound like they could genuinely be funny & could be good for Scottish rugby (for which there is no hope, it’ll get worse from here). Might be ok if edited to not more than half the current length.

I'm a regular listener and enjoy the rugby analysis part of the podcast. I do tend to skip past the unnecessarily lengthy, meandering pre-ambles which go on for 10-15mins but that is easy enough to do. One pet peeve is host Cammy Black cramming in his culture war hobby horses, there are plenty of other podcasts on that stuff and its tiresome to find them being dragged up again and again, the review would've been a 5-star were it not for that.
