Quickly becoming my favorite podcast, with some rugby thrown in
As a Saffa i really enjoy listening to the two of you - Love the banter and the stories
Yer all great craic 😂 ...the bagpipes at the end...legend 😂😂😂. Well done ye three
Look forward to this every week, brilliant stuff. Don’t know why you don’t got thousands more subscribers 👏👏👏
Less guests more Tommy and Donncha. The chemistry between you both is the best part of the pod, on either rugby or chit chat.
Absolutely love the pod, best way to start a Friday
Imagine. Saying bring less guests
I like both. More of both!
Not sure if ye read the comments Donncha but when I was at UL doing sport science, Alan Quinlan came in and gave an excellent talk on performance psychology and mental health. It’d be great to see him on the pod if possible!
Great podcast looking forward to the next one.
Found your podcast via Alistair’s post on Bluesky. This was great lads, really enjoyed it. New subscriber
What a shame the sound didn't work..enjoyed the accapella work by Tommy & Donnacha though.
What a surprise seeing Alistair Campbell 😁 Great episode👏🏼
What we needed to hear in this one was Tommy belting out The Black Velvet Band!
Lovin it lads! Thanks
Thanks lads. That was a great guest and chat.
Love that part with the jam jar. Was amazing way to look at things
thank you for being honest and sensible in all your analyses...
I come here mainly for the comedy
Me too 🙂
Bringing War Criminals on the Pod is next level rage bait
How did Mr Campbell ever get into the Lions tour, and cannot remember the year?
Ahhh aren't they lovely
Dunners that is some light shining in u, its so bright i thought u had blonde highlights
Did you sow ?? I could of sowed . So profound lads ...I think 🤔 😂
Also what a wonderfully weird and strange guest for Dunka to get
Great interview, wasn't sure how a left field guest would work but it very much did. More of connecting rugby to the world outside please!
Comments on 6 nations went well
He was complicit in the illegal invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan
Agree with some points, but generally I think English Rugby isn't far off being much improved, but as has been stated before, we need leadership on the park, and not templated driven tactics. Allow the players to adapt, rather than force them to stick to pre-designed tactics.
I agree totally. The English U20 teams have been very good recently. Good players are coming through.
Alastair is quite perceptive about the attitude in the Republic towards the north.
Scotland are way better at Curling. World champs at Elephant Polo btw. Hope the Irish lads enjoy Edinburgh, brilliant city
we won a world cup and have been in the final four times though !!! ireland are all puffed up and crowing but they have generational good squad 14 of whom will be 33 or over come the next world cup, no lowe, no Aki, no JGP, no PoM, etc ..........."watch out for the back fire batman": Donncha is off his chump! i remember last year when England silenced irish arrogance, the silence was golden!
But mattg, where are England at now? This is the problem. England have a serious player pool to choose from, but the whole England rugby system is in serious trouble. You might have been hurt be something that was said, but you know yourself that is the issue. The truth hurts, and world rugby need England and Wales rugby to be good. So cheer up a bit
Haha England haven't won a proper game in 12 months and you're coming out with this chat
😅
😂😂😂 salty gobshit
@@mattg6902 what was the arrogance ? The grand slam champions going in to a tournament.:: and btw Irelans won last year .. so how exactly was the silence golden? They retained their title
I'm absolutely dumbfounded listening to that nonsense about Scotland "not respecting us at all."
You are talking utter garbage on that particular subject. It seems to be a narrative the press and a lot of ex players are keen to promote but it really doesn't stand up to scrutiny and is just confusing to rugby followers in Scotland.
It's not press. Personally I've thought it for years. Always blowing up their own holes.
And it's not just the Irish that think it. Dallaglio said it two days ago, as did the analysts on a podcast with Brett Igoe. We're not all wrong.
@@fergalbannon4614 What are you basing that thought on? It is a stick some of the Irish press pack have used to beat Scotland down for a few years now and you have obviously bought into it but it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Maybe you have some compelling examples to prove your case?
@grahammccready2647 Laidlaw, Patterson and more recently Hogg have always been at it. Acting like they've won it all. Scotland have finished one 6N in 3rd place. Every year is their year until they implode. Every world cup, it's their time, then they're sent home. Their mouthing off might help their egos, but not their results.
It's something from several years ago so not relevant now. We've played them in 2 successive WC pools so they have to talk themselves up, who doesn't?
@robhallie no. Not at all. It's not manufactured or made up. Scots players, pundits and fans always act like they've had years of success. It's a thing. And it's not just the Irish that think it, as shown by other podcasts. I'll trust Dallaglio on this one. Scots get ahead of themselves
Non existent WMD,a million dead Iraqis, Campbell should be interviewed in the Hague, not on the offload podcast.
well said, not the kind of scumbag i want to see associated with rugby.
Ah he's good craic tho ..
Give your head a holiday ya 🐐
Fair play lads, love AC too. C'mon Sunday, can NOT wait!!
I don't think there is a team in the world who could have played with the intensity and physicality that England did in the first half for 80 minutes. A smart coach would have brought his 6 forwards on at about 50 and hoped that injection of energy would have swung the game for them. Fortunately for Ireland, England don't have a good coach.
Na that Irish bench was always going to neuter them. Sheehan Henshaw Conan Murray Crowley Henderson like they'd all start for England
@@Robert-kv2nx fortunately? Like but haven’t ireland been able to win games .. very consistently over the years? And they didn’t play like that for the full half .. first 25 mins
Lads that was a great interview, fair play!
Lads what are you talking about Scottish arrogance. You must be going back to the days of Stuart Hogg.... There hasn't been anything recent. Maybe take a look in the mirror, because this baseless shite is making Ireland look like the arrogant ones. (Im Irish)
Fun, fun and more fun, love it 💚☘🇮🇪
Ireland has 4 teams and 250,000 registered players, Scotland has 2 teams and 39,000 registered players!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@opticnerve8927 "250,000 registered players" 🤣🤣🤣 Where did you get those numbers from? I know there's only 140 professional players in Ireland, but to think there's 250,000 people playing rugby every week is hilarious. You couldn't even fit 250,000 people into all the rugby stadiums in Ireland
@@opticnerve8927 The figures for Ireland pretty much tally with the current updated ones of 79,000 registered players (ie those registered with clubs, including the 21,000 adult players) and an overall total of 196,000, which incorporates women’ players, schools, sevens etc.
So there are 21,000 ADULTS registered with the IRFU to play rugby. Not 250,000
15 v15
jesus ye might even start calling yourselves journalists after this
Paul Byrom has tweeted "such a disappointing performance again from the Irish team" about the rugby team last May - kettle calling the pot black?
The rest is rugby eh?
Alastair Campbell war criminal enabler, such a wholesome guest.
Your choice of guest in this episode is shocking , giving a proven liar and war criminal a platform , not good , me and my mates where some of the people that Campbell’s lies sent to illegal wars , if this is an indication of your standards then nope
So the 'Comedy' stops at around 9 or 10 minutes, right?
Some rubbish. Only people talking about Scottish arrogance are the Irish media.
Donncha and bowe not a brain between them
Love the podcast, not Campbell.
Alistair Campbell …..strange animal to have as a guest
