RuggaMatrix America

So rugby in America, definitely has it’s slow times and I’m sure it’s not easy putting out a show each week, but I’d like to see it consistent. I get it, topics that will keep everyone across the country interested are hard to find, but even country wide topics, like collegiate 7’s can bore the hell out of long time club XV players. We just had 3 Eagles XV games and unless my downloads were messed up, there was only a podcast after the Scotland game. I don’t care if you have all 3 hosts on. Just put something out regularly. Stick to a format each show as well. Round tables are nice, but how about some rugby news that’s quick and doesn’t involve a debate at the beginning of each show. I’d love to see a 5 minute (10 max) interview with different men’s clubs form around the country (and not just DI powerhouses). Would be nice to hear especially how they successfully dealt with clubs issues, from recruiting, field rental, match scheduling, or building a fan base outside of players families. Either way, keep it up and I’m sure I’ll eventually give this podcast 4, or 5 stars.

I'm not sure if it's the shtick or if they're just all so grumpy but all 3 sound like angry but knowledgeable old men. Because I love rugby and rugby in the US I listen hoping to hear something new but it's the same rant about paying players from Bruce nearly every podcast, Pat almost always refuses to agree with Bruce, and Alex facilitates the rage. I always hope for better insight but it never comes. These 3 should be the foremost authority on rugby from a media standpoint but are to Red, White, and Black Eye what Brian Moore is to EggChasers. If you want insightful news with quality analysis listen to Red, White, and Black Eye. I'll let you know if this podcast improves.
