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 S1E22: Hookers, Wales and We go to France (Wales v.

We had a plan. The couch was in Twichekham, which Jones declared was Welsh adjacent, and we were going to watch George North's last match and Faf do faF things. The plan was good. The match not so much. So by halftime we push that bitch right across the channel and abandon Cardiff for Paris where Tolouse are destroying everything in their path. There are cartoon supervillains, hookers not scoring tries, Tocco delivering hot takes on reffing in broken Sicilian all while we watch dominant scrums. Also a hooker does score. That's important for later. Pull up a bit of the couch as we continue to be confidently incorrect. Even in picking matches. It's rugby the way you've always loved it, slightly unhinged and bursting with bullshit. It's the Wrong Side of the Ruck. We think you'll like it here.","meta_description":"Look. We had a plan.
