PODCAST

Sosbans and Sidesteps

The WRRAP network

The home of Scarlets supporters and community rugby in West Wales. We like to delve into the nitty gritty of Scarlets games, the community game and the pathway on a regular basis. We analyse games, talk to players, chat with coaches and get the fans point of view - we may also discuss other weird stuff as well.

You might expect this weeks episode to be a bit shorter - Big M's community review is a fair bit shorter, Huws magic numbers are brief and Lee G's funny bits are at best a titter - but still there is a load of rugby stuff to go through.

2024/01/23

We have all the usual stuff this week - Big M's community round up, Cat Boys Magic Numbers and the long awaited start of Griff's Grumble and then we have a chat about the Edinburgh game and why life is not as bad as some would make out. The most exciting thing this week however, was the continued journey of discovery through Martyn's phone and the stuff you can make it do! Learn more about your ad choices.

Bonus Pod with Javan Sebastian

2024/01/17

As we prepare for the Scarlets v Edinburgh game, we were lucky enough to have a chat with Ex Scarlets and current Edinburgh prop - Javan Sebastian. We talk through the differences between Scarlets and Edinburgh, how cold it is up there and (obviously) hairstyles. Javan talks about his time growing up and getting started in rugby - the difficulty in being released and the route back to being a pro in a very open and honest way. There are a few sound issues at the start but they go after a couple of

This is what a turnaround feels like

Sosbans and Sidesteps ·

2024/01/15

The boys are feeling positive after a half decent display against Clermont (with the exception of 19 minutes in the middle) and are keen to share their positivity with you. It isn't all plain sailing however - there is Lego to discuss, the community game round up, a discussion about Martyns inability to complete his own spreadsheet and then another game of where has Martyn gone. The feeling was so positive that Lee G decided to bin his 'Grump' in case it brought the mood down. Learn more about your

The boys start the new year as they plan to continue - looking for positives and talking about all sorts of stuff that are completely not related to rugby! The positives from this week include a stable internet signal from Martyn, a surprising promise if Scarlets win this weekend and a couple of honest assessments of the festive derbies Learn more about your ad choices.

The fall out from the Black Lion game and some honest...

Sosbans and Sidesteps ·

2023/12/18

The Black Lion was a result of more than a couple of years of decline and mis-management at the Scarlets - it was hard to take and hard to watch. We discuss the things we would like to see change and the letter from Crys 16 which matches a lot of the things that we have been discussing over the last couple of seasons - and we discuss how we are not the only people that feel this way. Our message to the club is clear - we hope that they are listening. Our Scarlets Fever Christmas Quiz can be found

The boys try to find different subjects to distract themselves from the rugby - Big M plays hide and seek with an internet signal while Huw starts a game of 'Name a red animal' and Lee G has one of his rants about something but they keep coming back to the Scarlets and the way forward.

Beating Cardiff is becoming a regular habit but apparently we are not allowed to play them 16 times a season so the boys discuss what we take from that game and how we move forward. Martyn gives a very rapid rundown of the community game while Lee and Huw go off on all sorts of tangents. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

A loss against the Ospreys is never easy but this one feels like a turning point - things have got to change. The boys are very open and honest about their feelings after last weekends game and their opinions on what needs to happen going forward. The mood is lightened slightly with a round of 'Who played for us and then them' before we look at the prospects for the Cardiff game. Feel free to join in with us on social media with this one.

Leinster or Ospreys - Which game is more important?

Sosbans and Sidesteps ·

2023/11/20

The Leinster game can be viewed one of two ways, we try to cover both. The Community game should be covered in more detail - we are getting there. The Ospreys game can only be covered one way - and we go hard on that one! Plus we ask the question, How many players can you name who have played for the Scarlets before they played for Ospreys?

Martyn delivers his ever popular community run down and the boys chat through listeners questions and then it is onward into the Lions game. There were plenty of positives to discuss which makes the loss even more confusing. If you were the person with the drum at the game - you will want to listen to this one as well.

Big M was busy doing important things with important people so Lee G and Huw Flatcap struggled on without him. Hu's first visit to the Parc kicked off proceedings followed by the run down of the community game fixtures, listeners questions, a discussion about the Cardiff game and a look ahead to the Lions game. The plans for drums and trumpets in the stadium are still in development - don't be surprised if they turn up soon. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

You can feel the anger and frustration through the earphones on this one - it is never easy being a fan of a team that turns in a performance like that last weekend but things will improve and we, as fans, have a part to play in that. Honest conversations are hard to have but if you care about your club then you know they need to be had.

Big (E)m dons his pretty pink hair band to try and compete with Huw's headwear as they both try to distract themselves from the Scarlets performance last weekend. Unfortunately, the game needed to be spoken about and while they try to find a few positives - it was not an easy task. There is other stuff going on but that game will haunt the boys thoughts for a while. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Lee G spends a bit of time chatting with our round 2 opponents forwards coach Rito Hlungwani. Rito is one of the nicest guys in the game and the chat ranges from the weather (obviously), to recruitment through off season, expectations for this season, the SA team and the World Cup and what the Scarlets can expect when we meet next week. It is well worth listening to the bit about schoolboy rugby and why it is so important for building the game in South Africa - and Rito's advice for the

Surprisingly - hairstyle is not a criteria on which to base a players rating - yet!
