Round two of the URC has produced another bumper pod - it is safe to say that this is not one to listen to with the kids! A poor game between the Dragons and Cardiff, barely anyone watching the Ospreys game and some lovely scenery being the only thing worth watching with the Scarlets all get discussed in detail. The expectations for this weekends games are not much more encouraging but it is safe to say that the boys are firmly backing the regions to come through this and find a way back to the top

This weeks pod welcomes our new Ospreys chappy James and we say a fond thank you to Carwyn. There is plenty of stuff to unbox this week - the World Cup, scrums and refs and World Cup predictions. Then the boys, including Huw from Scarlets Fever and Pirate pods, dive in to the URC and flail around looking for positives and a way forward. We also ave the first derby of the season to look forward to as the Dragons entertain Cardiff, while the Scarlets take a trip to the Stormers and the Ospreys have a

The boys are joined by Iestyn from the Ospreys Eyrie and Podcast Rygbi Cymru who sits in for Carwyn to preview the coming season of URC action. The start is a little flat as the weekends quarter final against Argentina gets reviewed but there are some positives to take from it. The boys talk through the options to go forward and where things may need to change if Wales are going to improve their performances. After what feels like an eternity, the URC is back which means a return to the normality of

Despite the temptation to dive straight in to discussing the quarter final - the boys begin with a few pre-season game reviews and the prospects for the coming season. Some are more enthusiastic than others to discuss them but the need for better coverage of these types of games is obvious. Conversation then turns to France - the good bits from the Georgia game, the impressive performances, the unfortunate injuries, the players putting hands up for Argentina - then the injuries, the call up, the

Finding positives in the Portugal game was difficult but the boys got there with a bit of effort and determination. There were a lot of learning to be taken from that game both for the Australia game and for future development in general. The Fiji v Australia game gave Wales a lot of information to work with but exactly how Gatland puts it to good use is up for debate. One thing the boys do agree on is the standard of TV and media coverage is well below par and in some cases just plain wrong! Plenty

We then dive into the Fiji game in all its glory before looking forward to the Portugal game. Who knew Portuguese rugby was so interesting!

Discussion points include are Fiji over-rated or a genuine threat? Did Gatland get the selection right? Is this Welsh team under rated? and how can Wales come away with a win on Sunday?

On top of this we also discuss the rumours around the Cardiff and Ospreys merger, we ask if Y11 are being fair to Ospreys fans and we discuss the Wales U20's performances so far.
