Yeah, dull as dishwater.
"yeah, great footballer, passes the ball well, boy I wouldn't like to tackle him down a dark alley at night, but you can understand why the ref allowed it, not to harp on about refs" etc. etc.
No real good rugby podcasts.
That molecast is cringey, Luke Fitz's ones are ok for the interviews sometimes (they tend to be a little less boring than the typical player interviews).

Brian Moore, his cadence is difficult to listen to. (trying to avoid being rude)

The Andy Goode one is the biggest twat bantercast I've ever heard.
Egg Chasers is often a gimped version of that.

I enjoy the Rugby Pod. I don't mind the Bantersaurus Rex delivery. It intentionally ramps up the nonsense, but Goode is still well able to play it straight and be serious to balance the Hamilton comedy act. It helps that I generally agree with Goode's opinions of current events.
Luke Fitz's one is quite good when they have a good guest. Fitz is a fairly shite interviewer and terrible commentator, but for his faults he's quite relaxed and it comes across in the way the various guests have a relaxed chat.
Must give Moore's a go.
Listened to the42's yesterday. Promising enough. Kinsella and Dunne area easy to listen to and there's probably a bit more technical stuff covered. Rob Kearney was boring as shite to listen to, mind you. Some interesting stuff to say about his game, but his voice is dreary and he's very economical with his words. Not very chatty. Might be better with different guests.

I suppose that's an advantage of the Left Wing, there's less of a "media interview" feel about it and it's more of a chat.

Was that part of the reason for his move. He wanted to be at 2 but Ulster didnt want it?

yeah he saw his future at 2, Ulster didn't.. was the rumour

He was playing loose head for the Belvo 20s in the Prem 1 qualifiers.

They played Ethan Baxter at 2. Baxter playing 7 for them this weekend though

thought it odd that Baxter and McKee were at the same club.. maybe Baxter has given up on move from 7.

With a name like that there's no way he's of Munster stock

Is there anything surprising about that?

Rob Kearney was always going to be slower to pick up caps due to his Irish involvement. McGrath is only on the boundaries of the Irish squad so his gametime wouldn't be restricted. Rory Scannell is in a similar position and has a similar number of caps.

Interesting attitudes, for the good. AOC saying that maybe he shouldn't be on the pitch, Hendie being very open about the RTP protocols and what they entail.

Is Adam byrne the oldest on that team- the rest are ridicously young.

Mise freisin.
People talking of playing SOB at 7 etc., forget it. It's Leavy's jersey barring injury or some serious swings in form.

My mind changes every match at the moment. VdF was exceptional against Connacht last weekend. Leavy I think translates a bit better to international rugby and he had the 6N he had.

For basically all of last season only he was fit of the three of them, they're all fit now
