There was SO much rugby to talk over. #6Nations #AvivaPrem #SuperRugby #Pro12…and more.

Tim, JB and Phil celebrate the best of another amazing week of European rugby, including some memorable wins. The Pro 12 sides face the very real possibility of no sides making the knockout stages...unheard of in years past. Why? The boys have their say. With 6 nations squads about to be announced who should Stuart Lancaster be selecting in the contentious positions? And there's a "hipster XV" where you'll learn, if you didn't know already, what a drop crotch carrot fit is...disturbing! Enjoy. H...

Tim, Phil & JB take you through an amazing, and unpredictable set of results from the weekend's #AvivaPrem and #Pro12 match ups AND get salivating over some tasty European fixtures which lie in wait. But not salivating quite as hard as rugby players clearly do over the prospect of a free Nandos it seems. Aside from their blagging antics the boys bring you a weekly rugby quiz, 'Rugby Social' and a brand new 'Rugby Agony Aunt' segment (which needs a catchy name if you can think of one). And wh...

Another BIG weekend of European action. Literally in the case of one particular pack of forwards that are huge...but are they TOO big? We wrap up all the big stories from the rugby week, including the campaigners trying to ban the singing and playing of the Tom Jones hit 'Delilah' in the Millennium Stadium...guess what JB's reaction is to that. Will quiz champ Tim finally get his come-uppance? Can you help the boys assemble a rugby nativity and a "12 Days of Eggsmas?" in this festively flavoured...

A fiery weekend's European Rugby Action to review. Cudmore vs O'Connell and Castro vs Cockerill are just 2 of the heavyweight clashes. 2 of many as all 6 ties featuring English sides feature an Aviva Premiership winner...surely that's a first?!

Did JB need to watch Burger and Henson face off in a darkened room with aromatic candles? What have we learned from the conclusion of the Rugby Championship? Is there any merit in Wasps upping sticks and doing one to Coventry? ALL questions that Tim, JB and Phil attempt to answer, along with many others. Hosted on Acas...

2 weeks to go! We've almost made it through these long, lonely, rugby-less days.
