Great podcast
23/09/2019
Love listening to Chris, Ugo & Danny from here in NZ.
Unintentionally Hilarious
19/07/2022
If you want a laugh then you have to listen to this. Ardie Savea, as usual, was the standout loose forward across all six nations in the just completed winter series - without question. He confirmed his status as the worlds best player. Yet, these clowns didn’t even mention his name when selecting their 15 from across the June internationals. They mentioned a couple of very average northern hemisphere players but nothing on Savea. So, listen if you want a good laugh but don’t take it too seriously.
Great way to get a northern perspective

As a kiwi you have to look for overseas sources to get good insights about northern hemisphere rugby, this podcast is one of the best and I love the way they respect the women in rugby as well. I highly recommend “The Pod” as they call it and only wish they would do some cross-overs with Sumo Stevenson on the Rugby Pass Podcast.
Downunder treat

Love the pod. Great vibe and top sports journalism. Love listening in NZ and knowing my dad listens too back in the UK. Big shout to the old man Tony Roberts ex Lightwater RFC and massive England fan, and my little Welsh sister also a listener in Wellington NZ. Keep up the top work! Tom Roberts in Rotovegas
Not an AB’s podcast

Great rugby podcast. Living in NZ and being English, it is a nice change to hear banter about the Northern Hemisphere clubs and not how dominant the All Blacks are!!
Great!

Love listening to this from here in NZ. Chris & Ugo have frank discussions and it’s refreshing to listen to them. They are relaxed and it feels like listening to friends having a chat (or heated discussion!) in your own front room.
THE BEST PODCAST!
09/11/2017
Living over in NZ, it’s a great way to stay in touch with British Rugby. Great insights from the players.
A good podcast for keeping up with rugby news
03/01/2018
I have listened to the podcast every week as a good way to keep up to date with all things rugby. It generally gives a nice favour of everything going on in all aspects of the game with some interesting debates. TMO discussions are agood example. However, it can be a bit one sided to England and the men’s game. Why were no female players in for 2017 team of the year? Did you not see Portia Woodman?
Tom the Pom (in NZ)
06/11/2017
As Saracens supporting Englishman living in NZ this is a great podcast to get the insights in to the British/European game that I just can't get over here. I always listen to this first up of a week. I’m often listening in the gym or on a run (I know that Ugo doesn’t approve) but it’s my only real downtime to get listening.
Kiwi in NZ
18/07/2017
Thoroughly enjoyed listening to Ugo and Chris throughout the Lions tour. Some fantastic insightful interviews with ex All Blacks, coaches, Lions fans that were better than anything NZ had to offer. Great analysis on the tests, and the enthusiasm of Chris in tour enjoying NZ was great to hear. Look forward to more of this when season kicks off again!
