Podcast appearances and mentions of tim cocker

In this week's BizNews Rugby Show, insider Rory Steyn and co-host Patrick Kidd are joined by the show's favourite European rugby expert, Tim Cocker from Eggchasers Rugby, to unpack the biggest talking points ahead of the Investec Champions Cup semi-finals. From Leinster's pursuit of a URC-Champions Cup double to the enormous impact of Antoine Dupont's absence at Toulouse, the trio explore what's at stake for Europe's top clubs. Plus, rising South African star Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu gets a mention, Cocker and Steyn debate how to fix the rugby calendar, and Cocker breaks down what makes French and Irish rugby unique. Don't miss these bold predictions, insights into the standout players, and a look ahead to a potentially seismic weekend of rugby in Dublin and Bordeaux.

Once the pinnacle of European club rugby, the Investec Champions Cup is struggling to maintain its former prestige. In a discussion on the BizNews Rugby Show, analyst Tim Cocker from Eggchasers Rugby sat down with BizNews Rugby insider Rory Steyn and co-host Patrick Kidd to dissect the tournament's decline. Cocker argues that constant format changes have diluted the competition, making it harder for fans to engage. Meanwhile, teams that barely qualify are making it into the knockout stages, undermining the elite nature of the event. With South African teams failing to make the Round of 16 despite their success in the URC, questions arise about the tournament's structure and its ability to deliver top-tier rugby. Could a return to a streamlined, high-stakes qualification system—where only the best truly compete—revive the Cup's allure? And with sponsors now backing a devalued product, is it time for a radical rethink?

This week's BizNews Rugby Show is all about the titanic clash between Ireland and France in the Six Nations. Guest analyst Tim Cocker, host of the popular Eggchasers Rugby YouTube channel, breaks down why this fixture is "box office" rugby, with Ireland chasing a rare Grand Slam and France seeking redemption. Plus, analysis on the URC's Sharks vs Lions showdown, Scotland's must-win Celtic Derby against Wales, and England's selection shake-up. Get all the expert insights ahead of a massive weekend of rugby!

The connection between a host and their audience is often labelled as the medium's "super-power" because of its ability to deliver incredibly effective brand or commercial messaging.

In this episode of Sound Business Jim Salveson speaks to two individuals who have great pedigree in delivering such content. Tim Cocker (Virgin Radio, Eggchasers Rugby Podcast) is a radio host and podcast producer who has well over a decade of experience in delivering host-read messages in both audio formats whilst Paul Sylvester (Absolute Radio) has many years in the industry working with brands and presenters on the implementation of commercial campaigns to ensure partners experience great results. You will hear some fantastic insight (from both sides of the microphone) into what makes a great host read and some of the considerations when planning a campaign, while also getting some practical tools that can help when delivering such content.
