It sounds boring, but I know we aren't the only ones that are frustrated by the quality given to us for the prices we are forced to pay to watch our beloved teams, especially here in the U.S. And of course we round out all of this week's action from the final weekend in the Premiership regular season and round 14 in Super Rugby.

It’s potentially the last show before the New Year, it was another lengthy one so I’ve timestamped the sections that you may want to skip to.

| Episode 10; Champions Cup Round 3 | 12 Dec 2018 | 01:28:26 | |
It's the first of the back to back fixtures in Champions Cup! We talk about the player exoduses in at both the Ricoh and from NZRU. What's going on with Exeter's bad run (only 2 games, but that's long for Exeter). What's wrong with the current Wasps 10? Is pool 5 going to eventually get turned upside down...or right side up, some might say? We're also looking forward to Super Rugby, want to join a league with us? E-mail the show and we'll make it happen. We may be looking to bring in another person now and again, stay tuned for that.

| Episode 9; Premiership Round 9 | 05 Dec 2018 | 01:17:22 | |
Saracens go top! We're both excited about that. Jarrod makes another stat blunder, oops. Ben's dislike of Leicester is further validated by Eastmond's red. Are refs defaulting penalties to the "dominant" scrum? We talk a bit of MLR, Europe and...Brexit??? Follow us on twitter so you can challenge us to the daily fantasy games for Champions Cup.

| Episode 7; Premiership Round 7 | 19 Nov 2018 | 01:19:16 | |
Finally two voices on here! Oh yeah, there was rugby. Disclaimer; the technical issues we had, made it not as much of a home run as we wanted. Just think when we have this down to a science how funny it'll be to think back about all these foul-ups. We talk internationals & 7 of the Prem.
