I have been enamored with French Rugby since the Six Nations and was starved for some content in English. I found this gem the other day and I am hooked. Great commentary, great hosts! Thanks for creating this podcast. You have made an American French Rugby fan ecstatic!
Thank you!

I love rugby—particularly Top 14 and French national team but living in the US and not being Francophone—I have to rely on the times that European Cup is being broadcast on English language tv or Six Nations to get decent info. Of course that means the info is sparse as the focus is on the Premiership or Pro 14 side that the French side is playing. I can’t thank you enough for doing this pod
