I was joined by content creator Chris Setu to deep dive Samoan rugby. One of the sport's most beloved nations, Samoa has given the game icons and iconic moments. What's more, they have the best record against Six Nations and Rugby Championship sides of any T2 nation. However, the last 12 months have been painful for the Samoans. They barely scraped through to World Cup 2027 with a draw against Belgium after embarrassing losses to USA and Chile. Despite the quality of player available to them, they are underperforming badly. Chris and I discuss their performance and the possible reasons for...

Last weekend, Wales took on the World Champion Springboks of South Africa in Cardiff for what was one of the most controversial games in the nation's history. Devoid of their best players and playing against a backdrop of infighting, upheaval and public apathy, Wales were lambs to the slaughter up against a phenomenal opponent who crushed them ruthlessly. It was not more than the Welsh public predicted; The WRU have presided over a period of turmoil and trauma in recent times as they announced one of the URC Regions is to be cut - but we don't know which...

Ireland have been experiencing a golden age of rugby, but now their fans are starting to get angry - why? Is it just because results have started to turn, and if so what are the reasons for that? I was joined by my friend and colleague Caolan Scully to debate Andy Farrell's position as Ireland coach. We look at Ireland's tactics and ask if they have gotten stale before reviewing Andy Farrell's decisions not just regarding selection but also in his backroom staff. Have mistakes been made and if so, were they avoidable? We then get into the provinces...

England vs New Zealand brought Scott Robertson's 3rd defeat of 2025 as All Blacks coach. For any other side, that record would be acceptable - but not for New Zealand. In this video I explain what I think New Zealand are doing right and what they are doing wrong.

Newcastle Falcons, the worst rugby team in England, have been taken over by soft drinks manufacturer RedBull. Overnight, this has turned club rugby in Europe on its head. For the last few years, Newcastle have languished at the bottom of the English Premiership table. They have lost countless games by huge margins and lost their best players to their rivals. They could not be further from the team that won the league with Jonny Wilkinson back in the 90s. As a business, they struggled badly being so isolated up in the North East of England. Last season their owners...

I was delighted to be joined by Springbok Women head coach Swys de Bruin!

The British and Irish Lions are currently on their tour of Australia and have won the first test in Brisbane. The Lions is all about history and tradition, meaning each evokes the memories of tours gone by. In this case of this tour, the tales being told most often relate to the last time the Lions visited Australian shores, when they made history with their only victorious test series this century. Whilst a Lions tour is about coming together, so often the memories are about an individual. In the case of 2013, the individual of note was Wales fullback Leigh...

Argentina's win over the British & Irish Lions was just one more achievement in a 12 month period where they also defeated the All Blacks, the Springboks and the Wallabies for the first time ever.

The Los Pumas side that beat the Lions contained players from Super Rugby Americas - the young league encompassing teams from Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay and Chile. Along with Argentina, those nations are now starting to emerge as challengers on the rugby circuit. In this podcast I speak to...

The most attended game of club rugby ever was held not in England, Ireland, France or South Africa. It was held in Barcelona, Northern Spain. When people talk about growing the game of rugby union, they often mention USA or Georgia or further afield in Asia, but they never mention Spain. I was joined by Carl Dawson to get the inside story of the rise of Spanish Rugby and ask what is stopping the Spanish from becoming a rugby superpower.

He also gives his honest opinion on the heated debate around the fly-half position.

No position in rugby union generates debate quite like the fly-half. So often the face of a rugby team, the number 10 is always under more scrutiny than any other player on the pitch. So how should we be judging fly halves in 2025, and what separates the good from the simply world class?
