Much Ado About Rugby – Details, episodes & analysis

Bit more of a fun episode today as the lads discuss what they would do if they were to take over a premiership club. With Ed taking over Quins, Macsen with Saracens and Mal with Bath, they chat about who they would sign to improve the squad, which ex player they would make Head Coach / Director of Rugby and which beer they would want sponsoring the club.

Euros been happening so might chat about that soon…

Is Harlequins the best attacking side in the world? I think so. 

We're back with some good old rugby chat as Ed and Mal discuss Quins, who will win the Premiership, and the recently announced Springboks squad for the British and Irish Lions Tour. 

Tune in next week for some highly analytical Football chat as the Euros commences. Are we joking? Who knows.

Will the US become a Rugby power house? Why are USA 7s so good? Do American rugby players even party hard?  

This week, we are joined by Hans from the US who has played at the top level of college rugby to talk about Rugby in the US in the latest episode of Rugby Around The World.
