    Best Rugby Podcast for your ear hole.
    I love listening to Jim, Andy ‘n Andy. As a South African and die hard Bok fan these guys deliver a unique well informed and unbiased opinion on the beautiful sport of rugby. Keep it up boys, I love your work.

    The Rugby Pod is the Dogs Nuts
    I’ve been following the pod for years and it’s kept me sane on my travels with work in Asia and now the United States. Request not to be too ‘orrible to Gloucester 🙏🙏 praying for ring fence.
  • Davey's Suitcase
    But where’s the rugby?
    Banter is great and all, but only when it’s relevant. Tuned in for rugby news, tuned out when the discussion somehow went to bathroom habits.

    I love the pod, I nearly wet myself laughing when Jim didn’t realize he was saying Chicago. Highlight of my pod listening week is the Rugby Pod, keep up the great work guys. Mikey SDallas

    New Rugby Fan
    I started watching Super Rugby in 2016 (at age 41) and as an American, was absolutely clueless to the rules. Watching a ton of ruggers, reading and studying the rules gave me a base to really appreciate a sport I never watched before 2016. Then I found this pod and instantly found it not only insightful on the details of the game, but also ridiculously hilarious. I now follow English Premier rugby, Super and all international test matches. Thanks boys for making my 1 1/2 hour drive to work bearable. Thanks fellas and keep doing what your doing!!
  • USRugbyFan1985
    Great Show!
    I found the Pod a few months ago, and as an American with little experience watching rugby, I was skeptical at first. But, I thought it would be a great way to increase my rugby knowledge, and it has been. Also, Big Jim and Goodey are hilarious to listen to! Keep the craic comin' boys! You have at least one American fan! Pod pod pod!
  • wilxco
    Best podcast out there
    You want entertainment....Big Jim and Goodey have it and the Pod Pod Pod provides it. Such easy listening. Some genuine top notch rugby insight combined with the best rugby stories going. Love it. Shout out to Andy as well for his role in bringing it all together.

    I have listened for a year or so now and look forward to my Tuesday commute due to the boys. Great mix of banter and rugby chat. Can’t rate it higher. My #1 pod. Pod pod pod
  • daze-mail
    Lovely podcast
    Great to hear a nice podcast where people can discuss eating cat food and why metaphors are the way they are. Also some rugby talk.
  • Sbastians
    Brilliant!

    Funny Pod
    Glad to have found this podcast, I can't get enough rugby talk! Thanks for the great interviews and hilarious repartee. One listener note - be prepared, as the podcast is about 1/3 rugby, 1/3 interview, and 1/3 talking about man boobs and comparing penis sizes.
  • Ross-Melling
    Top banter
    Great pod. Born a Cov kid but now lives California, it’s great to listen to Goodey’s and Jim’s hilarious banter.
  • scarylarryrugby
    American super fan
    Big Jim and Andy are hilarious. Love the banter type perspective, and insightful interviews. Great to feel like I’m in the pub post match with the premiership players, hearing the players perspectives. Please bring a live podcast to the USA! Rugby World Cup sevens maybe?
  • T. Solis
    Dedicated American Superfan
    How good are these Gents? As an American who fell in love with the game at a very small University in the most rural state of New England, this has been an absolute dream. Every week my ears are gifted insight into a rugby world I could only begin to imagine. The Legendary "Scotsman" Razer Hamilton combines perfectly with the Silver tongue of Andy The Belly Monster Goode, whilst the Arrogant Kiwi conducts the whole operation with tact and guile from atop his pedestal of Silver Ferns. Jim may have been a hero o the pitch, but in the pub I'm certain I too could chop a pint faster than wee Harry Potter (so definitely faster than Jim). Thanks again gents for all the banter, the rumors, and Goode, Bad, and Ugly of Professional rugby. Ps. My rugby club is touring Northern England in mid-March. We'd love to meet any of you heroes for a pint while we are there. Thanks again, The Beaver Boys from UMaine Farmington RFC

    Rugby punditry as it should be
    With the swiftness of a Beauden Barrett offload, mixed with the accuracy of an Owen Farrell kick at goal and the banter of James Haskell, the Rugby Pod has it all. -American rugby fan
  • Sam aka Mr. Keen
    The Insightful Pod.
    I love the authenticity of this pod, it offers genuine insightful opinion (positive or negative) on the professional rugby game that us fans don’t hear from other rugby journalists. Whilst I’m working in Chicago it’s also nice to hear some British banter. Tell Jim ‘razor’ I can chop a pint without touching the glass (and no I don’t use a straw). Sam
