Coming at rugby from the American fan and player point of view, we break down club and international matches the way they’re actually talked about—after training, at the bar, or in a group chat. We cover leagues from around the world with context, history, tactics, and strong opinions, focusing on why matches matter, not just who won. Smart rugby talk, honest disagreements, no studio polish. We don't claim to be right, we just refuse to be silent.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-12T20:19:09.479897+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wrong-side-of-the-ruck-7651572"},"episode":{"title":"WSotR B-Sides E1 - Scrum and Get it!","slug":"wsotr-b-sides-e1-scrum-and-get-it","published_at":"2026-03-09T04:33:42+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wrong-side-of-the-ruck-7651572/wsotr-b-sides-e1-scrum-and-get-it","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wrong-side-of-the-ruck-7651572","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wrongsideoftheruck/episodes/WSotR-B-Sides-E1---Scrum-and-Get-it-e3g54up","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/10db6aff4/podcast/play/116609433/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-2-9%2F2abc9d64-e244-74d9-b6ac-44b68a781f26.mp3","summary":"Well thats unfortunate. The team sheet has gone up and we've been dropped from the first team. Good news for you though as we're running with the B-Side today. It all starts with scrums, and we can't shut up about them. Binding technique, head placement and headbutts. You know, the dark arts. The only reason chubby guys like us can even take the field still. This is the B Side. No real structure, no real game plan, just the boys talking ourselves into corners we can't get out of. Tocco launches an assault on Queensland that borders on obsessive, we somehow veer down Mormon Soaking lane and end up at Del Taco somewhere down the line. The couch is comfy this week, the pints are flowing earlier than normal and we've accepted our demotions. Welcome to the third half!","meta_description":"Well thats unfortunate.
