The Glorious Rugby Podcast

Episode Notes The frustrations have been mounting in Glorious Rugby Pod HQ, leading to this joint therapy session. We hash it all out, all of the endless mistakes we saw in the match against Rugby ATL, from the kicks to the tackles to the lineup. It's not all negative, though - we also somehow talk ourselves into a degree of optimism about the team.

Episode Notes A tough match with a weird lineup, leading to a 48-26 loss for Old Glory. Not the best. Still, there were some great positives, flashes of hope for what's to come. We break it all down, as well as the must-win match against Atlanta coming up. Yeah, I know we say "must-win" basically every week, but it just is, okay?
