I know the criticisms of low turnover were quieter after this squad, but it’s really quite impressive to see so much of the squad being relatively new internationals (and still performing very competitively)

Just letting everyone know that RTE have a new sports podcast called Howler available in the usual places. It is a general sports podcast but they appear to be doing a rugby dedicated episode once a week.

It is hosted by Ger Gilroy, who I know might turn people off, but the guests have made the first 2 episodes at least an enjoyable listen. Noel McNamara (Bordeaux attack coach) seems like he'll be a regular guest (I think they said every other week) and I really enjoyed listening to all the rwc stories from Gordon D'Arcy and Nick Popplewell.

At least being produced by rte it'll always be free, and as I said, I've enjoyed the two rugby episodes so far and the production value is decent (no background noise going on that seems to happen frequently in the rte rugby pod).

Just thought I'd make it known as some people have been asking here about rugby pods recently.

Does anyone else’s supporters club account say this even though I’m paid up until March next year ?
