The Rugby Pod

This week on The Rugby Pod, the lads send their thoughts and support following the very emotional news as England legend Lewis Moody reveals his MND diagnosis. Everyone on the Pod wishes him, and his family the very best during this very tough time, and we're here to support in any way we can. On the pitch, the lads react to the news that Steve Diamond sacked by the Newcastle Red Bulls, with Gregor Townsend joining in a surprise advisor role. We also break down the action from the Rugby Championship and what it means for the upcoming Autumn Internationals. Can Scotland finally beat the All Blacks? Can Ireland back up their Chicago heroics? Will England perform. Plus, there’s a full round-up of the URC and Prem, with the Dragons finally breaking their losing streak, Leinster slipping again, and Saracens running riot. Plus, the lads give a big shoutout to Rugby FC for a brilliant day out. Settle back, enjoy, and make sure you’re subscribed on Spotify.
