Funny and engaging guys

Been listening for over a year and enjoy show very much. They are two guys talking about life, family, food, TV shows etc and they just happen to have been v good pro rugby players in their day. Honest and fun, a nice change of pace and content.

Funnily enough, appointment listening!

These two host the only other podcast I listen to with regularity on the day it publishes. Two (almost) regular guys, with good senses of humor, and a great perspective on how rugby should be played. It is also a slice of home for an aging English rugby fan living in Boston, MA.

Love the show

WelshinAmerica says come over and do the show in LA. I agree as long as you stop off in Houston first.
