  • Ep 222 - Toulouse preview with Rosbifs Rugby pod - crumbs of comfort and food, drink and entertainment recommendations!
    Apr 1 2026

    In this special preview episode Pete is joined by Rob from the Rosbifs Rugby pod.

    He gives us the lowdown on what to expect from Toulouse on Saturday. It's not particularly optimisitc but there are a few crumbs of comfort and who knows, stranger things have happened?

    Equally, or maybe even more importantly, the second half of the chat is all about what to do when you get out there this weekend including going to watch Colomiers vs Dax on Friday night as well as following his recommendations for places to eat, drink and be merry whatever the result!

  • Ep 221 - Good day out but a disappointing Men's result - pre and post match from Cardiff
    Mar 30 2026

    In a slight diversion from the norm Pete, Lee and Miles record live from The Philarmonic on St Mary's Street, Cardiff, both before and straight after the game.

    What a difference a few hours makes!

    You can only say what you think and the Thatchers fuelled pre-match expectation and optimism is countered by the harsh reality of the post-match result. If that doesn't remind anyone of the fickle nature of being a fan then we don't know what does!

    On further reflection we may think differently or we may double down on our initial thoughts. Who knows?

    But as always we try to give a balanced view on a game that we barely had time to process before hitting the record button. You may agree, disagree or not give a toss but either way it is what it is!

    Enjoy and up the Bears!
