RUGBY RAMBLE – Details, episodes & analysis

It's the start of the 2024/25 Season and Rugby Ramble is back for it's third season!

So much potential drama ahead of us as RAMS start the new campaign in National One. After Chinnor ran away with the league last season, the whole Ramily is excited to see what's in store: following our Boys in blue as we charge forth and show this league how we do it at Old Bath Road!

Huge thanks to a hobbling Ben Atkins for joining us in the studio and talking so eloquently about how professional athletes approach injury and his personal rugby journey.

We can't wait to bring you more content throughout the year - we're cooking up some ideas to ensure your hunger for fresh and interesting conversation is answered!

For the first time this season - COME ON YOU RAMS!

Fraser Honey joins the lads in the studio to discuss his first year as a RAM!
He's been a great inclusion to the RAMILY and gives a great interview to boot!

The lads also make their last (terrible) upcoming fixture predictions of the season.

How the time has flown!

Big up all the RAMILY who will turn up in force to BM on Saturday!

This week the lads are joined by two of the Ramily's newest members! After losing their beloved London Irish - the pair found their way to OBR and have loved every moment!

A moment they might have been glad to miss was last week's tense first half performance at Bishop's Strotford - which laid the way for a solid second half display and big W on the road.

It wasn't just the First XV who came away smiling - the Titans did too sealing the first W of the day of the doubleheader fixture. 

On Sunday the colts continued the drama as they clinched victory from defeat against a very strong Ivybridge side to move on to the semi-finals of the colts cup!

This weekend we look to host Leicester Lions - who hope to make it a second win against us after we lost on the road earlier in the season.

The trio are joined by John Raspin this week, discussing his history with the club up to his current role as Youth Chair for RAMS. John's graced run outs for all senior sides in his time at RAMS and gotten stuck-in as a volunteer and coach through the minis and junior section too!

This week we reflect on last week's National One results, but also the inflammatory article published in the TIMES last week, comparing forcing kids to play rugby as 'abuse'.

Mild trigger warning: references to 'child abuse' and 'grooming' are mentioned only in name and regarding the language used in the article.

Hope you Ramblers all enjoy this week's episode. So sit back and relax...

With no RAMS National One fixture this weekend - The Trio are joined by RAMS CEO Gary Reynolds who chat about the awesome victory at OBR last weekend and look ahead at the other up-and-coming fixtures across the league!

Gary also goes over the article in the Rugby Paper which outlines the RAMS support for minimum league requirements for Tier 2 - as the RFU look to market and bolster the amazing sport we love!

Tim and Paul join the podcast team in the studio to reflect on the last minute, nerves of steel victory at the Rock last week!

Next week we look towards our bout with Taunton at OBR. It's always a spicy match up against these two clubs with a great history of strong and entertaining fixtures. Come on down this Saturday!

Huge thanks to Tim and Paul for coming on and bringing their northern treats. It was a pleasure sitting down with two men with great stories and even better photography skills! Always great to sit down with members of the Ramily.

This week the podcast trio natter about the strong win against the Manchester big cats last weekend at OBR. 

Can you smell what the rock's cooking? Our boys in blue hope for another mark in the win tally as they head on over to Rosslyn Park this saturday and after another fine performance under our belts its going to be a humdinger! Get yourselves over if you can!

It wasn't just our 1st team having a stellar performance this weekend, some great play from our Titans saw them take an eight try W against Dorking 2's and most impressive this Sunday were our Colts side edging out Old Pats to progress to the next round of the National Colts cup!

Some strange rugby news fell this week as well with Louis Rees-Zammit announcing his rugby exit for the NFL IPP.

Happy New Year to all - it's great to be back for the first episode of 2024! Rugby Ramble is back and that means more importantly National One Rugby has returned!

This week we look towards the first fixture of the second half of the season with Sedgley Park coming to OBR. They will be looking to even the score after our strong performance up north. Watch this space as (depending on selection) we could have two 400+ capped men go up against one and other!

We make our predications for the upcoming fixture and now you can too! Follow us on X (Twitter ) using our handle: @RugbyRamblersP

After a falling the wrong side of last week's derby fixture against Chinnor the podcast team reflect on the lessons from that loss and also on a wider scale what has been a tremendous first half of the season for our boys in blue!

We also have making a brief appearance: Mike Tewkesbury and Gary Reynolds talking about the coaching initiatives at RAMS prior to their conference during the week!

A final word to reiterate Spike's words- Thank you so much to all you Ramblers for listening. It's been a crazy ride and we can't wait to pick up recordings again in 2024!

To all of us from Rugby Ramble we wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

This week the podcast are joined by two of the cornerstones of U11s rugby here at RAMS as the podcast team delve into the corker of game last week at the RAG.

It's Derby Week in National One and tonight our boys will be heading over to Thame to take on a very strong in form Chinnor side! It's the last round before Xmas and number one versus number two will be slogging it out for the Xmas number one!

Who will be victorious?! 

If you are free this evening get yourselves over to Chinnor and try and continue the amazing travelling support you the fans have been gathering over the last few months!

It's a call to arms RAMILY! Let's go cheer on our boys. COME ON YOU RAMS!
