    It's another episode with those American Rugby hammerheads and we are happily celebrating the results on the Premiership Final.

    It's your favorite American rugby hammerheads back to entertain you. On this episode we talk a bit about David Pocock's retirement and whether he might be a year too late. We also discuss a bit about the ban Leicester's Geordan Murphy received and what the heck is going on at Welford Road. Of course we also talk about both Semi-Finals and why we believe that any team is capable of doing what Saracens & Exeter are doing in the league, despite how "boring" some teams (and their fans) seem to think it may be.

    Episode 39

    Show notes

    A longer episode than we normally like, but with this being the last weekend of this much rugby on tap, it seemed like it was worth it to us. Plus we talk about some good stuff, including pay walls. It sounds boring, but I know we aren't the only ones that are frustrated by the quality given to us for the prices we are forced to pay to watch our beloved teams, especially here in the U.S. And of course we round out all of this week's action from the final weekend in the Premiership regular season and round 14 in Super Rugby.

    Here's a glimpse new segment I'd like to keep in the episode as often as possible, but sometimes we'll cut it out and publish it as it's own episode in order to not have too long of a run time on the episode. Apologies for the audio hiccup here, haven't the slightest clue what happened, but if you can bare with it, the questions that we answer might be helpful to you and your fantasy team. Thanks for listening guys!

    Episode 32

    Show notes

    It's a solo effort this week with Jarrod steering the ship alone. It's a very digestible episode for all, there wasn't a large detail gone into on every match as we tend to do. The key talking points weren't completely breezed over though, so not to worry. We also look at this weekend's matches with both guy's picks as well as some fantasy advice for both the Prem and Super Rugby. Sit back and enjoy!
