Customer Reviews
Love the show, but a question
Twice you’ve had Springbok all-stars on the show in consecutive weeks. Etzebeth opened the door and you didn’t take it: Siya Kolisi. Kolisi was the story of 2019 and the WC, and impact on the sport, racism, color, history et al. Perhaps you think it was done to death at the time, but I remain impressed and fascinated by his story. EE’s relationship would have been interesting to explore I thought. Next time you get a springbok - this would be an avenue to pursue
Potential
Have always been a HOR fan but since the new season started I feel as though it is quite visually based? That’s probably intentional but while listening, it’s annoying when the hosts are watching a load of tries but you can’t see anything. Doesn’t really take into account those listening to the pod. Lacking relevance
Bring back Baz and Andrew
Interviews are downright awkward. There is no chemistry between and of the hosts. It is painful to listen to.
