Coley is simply awesome… calm collected insightful on the frontline, not shying away from anything, plus the benefit of in camp insight. Exactly the doctor ordered in a world of instant reaction, hyperbole, and everyone an armchair expert. And Ben’s rapid fire explanations highly needed, even if have to push the repeat button to follow at times. I feel its the best rugby pod at moment.

Promising pod undermined by the fact it’s dominated by the posh clique mentality at the heart of England rugby’s old guard. I like the tactical and process insight. The honesty was refreshing, but Youngs parked that to whitewash Jones’ abuse of his teammates. It reeked of equivocation and cowardice.

Dan and Ben are excellent hosts whose knowledge and passion for Rugby are apparent. Learned a lot about the sport via this podcast and I love to hear about the behind the scenes goings on that otherwise would have no real way of knowing. Great show even for those who may not know Rugby well.

As a rugby coach and player in the USA (from Cornwall though, it is great to hear the different experiences of the professional side of the game. It is a breath of fresh air. Both Ben and Dan have incredible stories that I’m sure can be told for so many episodes! A question I have… apart from the head coach, who would you say is the most important member of background staff in the Tigers, England and Lions Camps? Who do you look back on and think they made a real difference to the team and to you personally? Would be more than happy to take some kit off your hands, both personally and for my Augusta Furies women’s team I coach in GA. They are having their 25th anniversary weekend in September and are looking for items for their silent auction at the dinner. Money made will go back into the club and the Furies’ tour to the women’s rugby World Cup 2025 in England. (Will message on socials too) Many thanks Matt

Thank you both for creating this podcast. I’ve been a fan of the Colar Bear and his time on Joe Marler’s “cauliflower club”, it’s great to get to know Ben better. The combination of your rugby knowledge, experience, and chemistry together makes this a winner!! Question: Being from the states, would either of you consider playing in our young Major League Rugby for a new experience? I’d love to kit trade, I’m @jpalov34 and would rep a Colar Bear kit proudly here in Denver, Colorado!! Cheers!

As the wife of former rugby player for Sale Sharks and England under 16’s/18’s, I love the fact that I found this podcast before he did and got to tell him to start listening to it. Can’t wait for Six Nations. Best of luck!

Over all, just perfect. Great balance of jokes and information about the background scenes of being a rugby player. Can’t wait to listen to future episodes! Also, if y’all were serious about gear, handle for insta is @Sydlee25
