Hear from Joe Woodward after Leicester's friendly win over Munster at Welford Road.

Danny is the only one bringing the festive cheer to the pod as we discuss life as a rugby player at Christmas and how many eggs Ashy has with his Christmas dinner. Chris outlines a tumultuous few weeks for the RFU that has seen Tom Ilube resign as chairman and Sir Bill Beaumont appointed in his place on an interim basis. Warren Gatland is staying on as Wales head coach and has been challenged to deliver success in the Six Nations, but what exactly does that look like for a team that didn't win a match in 2024? Bristol win on the road again as they thrash Leicester at Welford Road. Can they go all the way this season, or will they need to tone down their attacking style?

We are back after a two week break and dive straight into a quick review of the tough European campaign. A great effort from the lads away at La Rochelle but ultimately we are sitting at the bottom of the table. We briefly discuss what this might mean for the ‘Andy Uren derby' when Benetton come to town in January  and then swiftly move on to more pressing matters…You know…The rugby massacre at Welford Road.We do our best to give justice to the record-breaking events that unfolded on Saturday with a smorgasbord of hyperbole and cliches but also a  strange lack of ‘phenomenals' from Miles.Unfortunately we left the cliche bell at home but feel free to make your own ‘dings' as you work thought the episode!We also read out some choice rugby poetry from our hard core listeners and then finish off with a review of the how the Bears Women have fared in the last couple of weeks now that the Ilona Maher carnival has parked up for Christmas.The positive vibes running through all aspects of Bristol Bears are just incredible at the moment and we all need to keep surfing that wave.Happy Christmas and hopefully see a lot of your at Gate on Friday!Much love,Pete, Miles and Lee.Let us know what you think!

We're back after the summer break and to kick things off we've got a special interview with the Premiership's big new arrival. Chris and Ashy sit down with the new Leicester boss Michael Cheika to find out how he ended up at Welford Road and what keeps the experienced Aussie motivated as a coach. It's been a tumultuous off-season for Steve Borthwick and the RFU. We react to the news that Aled Walters has joined Ireland and Felix Jones will also leave his role as England defence coach. Plus, Twickenham has a new name and we hear all about Ashy's packed summer trying to keep his kids entertained during the school holidays.

Bienvenue à Leicester ! Et non, ce n'est pas du King Power Stadium dont il est question dans cet épisode, mais de son voisin, le Welford Road Stadium, antre des Leicester Tigers, l'équipe de rugby de la ville ! Dans ce troisième volet consacré à notre périple dans la région de Birmingham, nous nous sommes permis une petite infidélité au football, et le moins qu'on puisse dire, c'est que ça en valait la peine !

This week we pick over the carcass that was the massacre in BS3 and we're not talking about the hammering of Falcons at Ashton Gate last weekend. No, we're talking about the first ever live pod at the Bristol Beer Factory Taproom. We look back on an evening of structured chaos, discuss the learnings and then move quickly on to more pressing matters such as the fantastic victory yesterday away at Welford Road that keeps play off hopes firmly in our own hands.19- zip down on 69 minutes and we're looking down the barrel but shots fired from the bench, and in particular from Max Lahiff and the returning Harry Thacker, and a yellow card to Mike Brown and we haul it back from the brink with a last gasp try and conversion to make it 21-19. It's fair to say the home crowd didn't take to that too well but boo hoo, that's life baby!We talk about the game with help from some selected short sharp summaries and then look forward to the final two games in the run-ins. Do we dare to believe? Spoiler alert. We do!Bristol Bears Women were also in action on Sunday in the Allianz Cup final at Shaftesbury Party and despite leading at half time, were eventually defeated by a strong Saracens side. We have a quick chat about that and their hopes for the run- in and then finally we run though a bit more ‘Bris-ness' from the week, including some contract news, the Supporters Q&A at the HPC and introduce a new feature - ‘news from the media' as we notched a flurry of Bears-related articles in the press this week. It's great that everyone loves the Bears again after years of media hibernation and just shows where running, offloading and try-scoring can get you….Join Pete, Lee and Miles as they have a cheeky beer and a bit of rugby banter…

Today is Friday, April 26th and Happy 90th Birthday to actress Carol Burnett. ***04.26.24 – BIRTHDAY – CAROL BURNETT*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Motorcyclist Indicted for Gwinnett Crash That Killed Georgia State Trooper Gwinnett Police Searching for Missing 13-Year-Old Suwanee Girl Curiosity Lab Criterium In Peachtree Corners Features Top Cyclists Plus, my conversation with Hollywood Skin Atlanta owner Jessica Idris. All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: MOG   STORY 1: Motorcyclist Indicted for Gwinnett Crash That Killed Georgia State Trooper Gerson Danilo Ayala-Rodriguez, 21, was indicted for murder by a Gwinnett County grand jury following a Jan. 28 crash on Interstate 85 near Old Peachtree Rd. that killed Trooper Jimmy Cenescar. Ayala-Rodriguez faces felony charges including felony murder, first-degree vehicular homicide, tampering with evidence, and fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer, alongside misdemeanor charges for reckless driving, speeding, driving without a license, operating a vehicle without insurance, and operating an unregistered vehicle. Officials stated Ayala-Rodriguez was traveling over 140 mph on his motorcycle before the crash, which occurred during a pursuit initiated by Cenescar. Ayala-Rodriguez allegedly destroyed the motorcycle's license plate during the chase. Cenescar, 28, died from injuries sustained in the crash. Ayala-Rodriguez was arrested five days later and remains in Gwinnett County jail without bond. STORY 2: Gwinnett Police Searching for Missing 13-Year-Old Suwanee Girl Sandy Michelle Soto, a 13-year-old girl, has been missing from her home on Welford Road in unincorporated Suwanee since April 21 around 11:45 p.m., as reported by the Gwinnett County Police Department. Her father reported her disappearance the next day. Sandy is described as Hispanic, 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing 120 pounds, with black hair tied into braids. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact GCPD detectives at 770-513-5300. Tips can also be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS (8477) or online at www.stopcrimeATL.com.

Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We'll be right back   Break 2: TOM WAGES – SCANDRETT   STORY 4: Georgia Power plan to leave coal ash in groundwater could be upended by new EPA rule The U.S. EPA finalized rules aimed at reducing fossil fuel power plant pollution, eliciting praise from clean energy nonprofits for addressing health risks from coal ash disposal. The regulations target greenhouse gas emissions, requiring coal plants to cut carbon emissions by 90% by 2032. Georgia Power may need to revise plans regarding coal ash disposal and faces potential compliance challenges for legacy coal ash sites. Power industry groups criticized the rules, citing concerns about job losses and reliability. Litigation is expected, especially concerning carbon emissions rules. Georgia Power, despite reducing emissions, faces scrutiny for plans to extend fossil fuel capacity. Environmental groups urge utilities to reconsider gas-dependent future amid EPA's regulatory actions. STORY 5: Dog theft causes same emotional turmoil as losing a child New research suggests that dog owners who experience pet theft undergo significant emotional distress, akin to losing a family member or child. The bond between owners and dogs is profound, often intensifying the grief. However, legal frameworks often treat stolen dogs as mere property, limiting support from law enforcement. The manner of theft, whether through force or burglary, exacerbates the trauma. Owners may face delays in processing grief, akin to PTSD, especially if the dog isn't recovered. This study, published in Human-Animal Interactions, underscores the need for psychological and legal support tailored to the unique grief experienced by dog owners. Further research aims to develop support tools for those affected by dog theft.   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3: INGLES 2   DTL INTERVIEW   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: CURIOSITY LAB BIKE RACE Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

Mike and Elliott drag themselves in front of the mic to chat about a crushing loss away at Northampton, a defeat that may spell the end of Tigers' playoff hopes.  As always, we try to find some reason and some positives in the performance, before picking ourselves back up to have a chat to old mate Joe Heyes and to get behind the boys ahead of a tasty fixture at Welford Road against a red-hot Bears side.

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Ruby Cole, a young Gloucester supporter who tragically passed away last week. All our thoughts are with Jo and Neville at this difficult time, as well as all of Ruby's family and friends. There is a Go Fund Me page, in memory of Ruby, aiming to raise funds for Great Western Air Ambulance. The link can be found below. https://www.gofundme.com/f/walking-for-ruby Gloucester Rugby defeated Leicester Tigers at Welford Road for the first time since 2007 after a battling display and a late Stephen Varney try, but the focus was very much on Zach Mercer who put in a performance that showed exactly why he should be in the England squad and why he is so important to the team. We chat through the game, the performance and why once again the style of play and attacking intent is so important. In the second half of the pod, we discuss the TMO issues from last weekend, the Women's Six Nations first round and preview our next game against Bristol.

Shaun and Thala review the first round of Champions Cup and Challenge Cup games - a weekend of mostly positive results and performances for the South African teams. We start with the Bulls dominant win over Saracens at Loftus. We discuss Cameron Hanekom's rise as the next big thing in South Africa rugby and the dangerous Bulls back 3. We then go to Welford Road where a mostly second string Stormers outfit nearly shocked Leicester at home. There were encouraging performances from three likes of Keke Morabe, Jurie Matthee and Sti Sithole, but Handré Pollard and Jasper Wiese led Leicester to the bonus point win. We go through each of the other Champions Cup games. We note Leinster using the Jacques Nienaber rush defence to finally get a win over the champions, La Rochelle. We talk about some of the surprise results from the weekend, including Exeter beating Toulon and Bayonne getting a draw with Munster and finally talk about the entertaining game of the weekend - the Siya Kolisi-led Racing being beaten by Harlequins. We also review victories from the Sharks, Lions and Cheetahs in the Challenge Cup. We finish off by talking about the Cape Town SVNS, the dominance of the Australian women's team, the Argentines breaking the pool and what reforms may be needed for the South African women's team.

Die Stormers sê hulle gaan môre in die Welford Road-stadion spesiaal aandag gee aan Leicester Tigers se Wêreldbeker-wenners, Handré Pollard en Jasper Wiese. Die Kaapse span begin hulle tweede seisoen in die Kampioenebeker teen die Engelse span wat die rekord hou vir die meeste titels in die Premierliga. Pollard was 100 persent suksesvol met sy skoppe tydens die Wêreldbekertoernooi, terwyl die Bok-losvoorspeler, Evan Roos, uitsien om homself teen Wiese te toets. Die Stormers se verdedigingsafrigter, Norman Laker, sê hulle is gereed vir die uitdaging:

Mike and Elliott sit on their soggy bottoms to chat to the people's champion of the Great British Bake Off and huge Tigers fan, Dr Josh Smalley, about his experiences in the tent, playing rugby and following Leicester through thick and thin.  Plus, we keep things high brow by chatting to Charles Richardson of the Daily Telegraph about the big home win against Newcastle, before turning our attention to the Champions Cup opener at Welford Road against South African side, the Stormers.

WRP 164 - Scottish Tiger. Scottish international Eva Donaldson joins us this week in a short pod (Johnnie has man-flu!!!!!). The rising star in the navy blue of Scotland reflects on a whirlwind 24 months, making her debut, playing in wXV and now starting a new club making their debut in a new competition! Eva chats about all of it, including the game last weekend with Leicester Tigers, at Welford Road; the historic match and the atmosphere at the iconic ground. There is news from all around the world; Brazil, Ireland, France have their league, Elite 1, back underway, new Celtic comp and some reflection on the news coming from the WRU and SRU. #WRP womensrugbypod@gmail.com Coming soon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Mike and Elliott host a shortened podcast due to work/holiday commitments but that's probably for the best as they face up to a sobering evening at Ashton Gate as the Tigers crash to a disappointing loss against Bristol.  We also look at how the boys may find redemption against Sale at Welford Road on Saturday, as well as naming a proper nutter at blindside in our Nails XV.

Mike and Elliott think things are starting to build nicely for Tigers after a convincing win over Ampthill in the Premiership Cup, but look for the side to take it up a notch in the upcoming crunch game against Newcastle, which will likely decide who tops the group.Plus, we look at some legendary locks for the Nails XV and wonder if the disastrous World Cup campaign for the Wallabies could have a knock on effect at Welford Road...

It's another jam packed episode with those rugby dummies from America. On this episode we are talking about the 6 Nations happenings including Sarah Hunter saying her farewell in her home town and a big performance from the Azzuri. We are also yapping about a critical round in the Prem including a few teams that virtually eliminated themselves from top 4 contention including the action at Kingston Park, Welford Road, Tottenham and The Rec. Yes, of course we did not miss out on a big round of Super Rugby where some teams clawed their way back in it while one team still is standing head and shoulders above the rest. We stop quickly in Quincy for what was a dreadful match, but sometimes you just win those and move on. All this, so much more, kick back and join us with a cold one won't you?

Matt and Jon step in this week to review all the goings-on in the Saracens family. First for a review is the victory over Harlequins in The Duel, in front of a record crowd for a women's match at the StoneX, before attention is turned to the trip to Welford Road. Positives and negatives from the second league defeat are weighed up, before looking ahead to crucial upcoming fixtures and the next round of the Six Nations.

It's another batch of fun from those American rugby fools. On this episode we unfortunately had our pick of the lot for our discrimination piece, I'll let you guess which one we picked out to talk about. Of course, we then dive in to the final round of pool play in the Champions Cup, going from Welford Road, to the Stoop, the Aviva and up to the shadows of Murray Field. Did things go the way they should have? Is the competition still flawed with 16 teams making the knockouts and how does last years qualifiers stack up to this years. All this and every little thing in between. Grab a drink, kick back and come along for the ride with us.

On this week's episode of The Left Wing, Will Slattery and Luke Fitzgerald are joined by Cian Tracey to look back on the Champions Cup quarter-finals. Leinster booked their place in the semi-final after a dominant win against Leicester in Welford Road, and the lads are in agreement that they are well primed to take on Toulouse in Saturday's semi-final. The French giants outlasted Munster in a dramatic penalty shootout at the Aviva Stadium, and Luke thinks that Munster's defence let them down. Munster's game management, Leinster's semi-final selection and Toulouse's ability to make something out of nothing are all up for discussion too.

Cliodhna believes the players can use this as a motivating factor like the squad has done in the past. Sinéad also talks to Ireland hooker Neve Jones who's been one of the team's leading players in this Six Nations ahead of what's set to be a record attendance at Welford Road.
