Talking Rugby

Talking Rugby, the longest running show of The World’s Talking, is a weekly rugby podcast like no other, where it is fans and not pundits who take centre stage. With a strong Irish flavour, Talking Rugby attempts to comprehensively discuss and dissect the latest stories and matches of the 15-man code. We have had rugby fans contribute from all over the world, including England, Scotland, Luxembourg, Canada, South Africa and of course Ireland! We are passionate about the game and our humble aims are to provide you, the listener, with quality analysis and light relief about the game we all love. If you are a rugby fan who wants to participate in Talking Rugby, drop us an email at TheWorldsTalking@gmail.com
