HOUSE OF RUGBY MERCHANDISE HAS ARRIVED! Order here: shop.joe.co.uk/house-of-rugby

I love the guests but you just can’t beat the core trio 👌🏼

We are well into the 2nd season, but its just hit me, that the reason this podcast is 1000 times better than the cricket, boxing and football podcast is because of Alex Payne and the mutual respect and rapport he and James and Tindall all have for each other. It’s a group of friends shooting the shit.

“I’ve had an unbelievably shit day and your pubic topiary has really cheered me up”. Quote of the week AP.

This might be one of the funniest, if not the funniest episode yet! Goes in so many directions.

Funny how the no.1 ranking meant something when ABs had it for about 10 years and now it doesn't at all apparently. Same sort of thing coming out of the Sky team in NZ. All it really indicates is that it is close at the top. There are 6 teams who can all beat each other on the day and then Scotland, Argentina and France, with France having the most capacity to join that top 6 group. England are peaking well but they have a really tough lead in to a potential QF and then will have to be able to go again and again etc. Their WC rests on Billy V and Owen Farrell's shoulders. The fact that Saracens have been doing the business is massive for them. I just feel like South Africa's strengths are so similar to strengths of the best NH teams and I'm not entirely sure they would bully Wales or England or even Ireland or France to the same extent as they did Australia and Argentina. Their game plan is simple and their energy is suffocating, and I think they can catch NZ if they try to play too much rugby in their own half, but I would still expect Ireland v SA, Scotland v NZ, England v Wales, and France v Australia QFs. SA deserve to be favourites against Ireland on current form and first xv, NZ will beat Scotland, I actually think Wales will beat England because it will be the third big game for England in a row, and I think France might just do it against Australia and that could be a game for the ages. That would leave us with an NZ Wales semi and probably a France SA semi (though it could just as easily be an Ireland Australia semi). And then NZ SA final where SA could win it because the stakes are raised and their game plan suits cup rugby.

these 3 are amazing. Tindall had me in stitches what a solid bloke

Soooo much better than last week ... well done all, really enjoyed your ramblings!

Absolute barnstorming show lads, great to see the band back together.

Mango power, Asafoetide, cumin seeds, green peas (frozen), yogurt big amount, lots of onions, poppadum lots it's for a curry, garlic, good amount of ginder, tomatoes, tomato puree, black lentils, kidney beans (we might have), butter, single cream, green pepper, 230 grams of Paneer (we might still have some left), ghee, vegetable samosas, roti Canai

Great show,back to its best.........Goodey and Big Jim future guests?

Haskell literally very week: "something something I'm not actually like that something something"

Why did u cut out hask talking about japan

Alex catching himself on a Buffalo, class

My new favourite thing👏 Tindall has to be a regular!

Alex Payne I’ll toast to you good sir!

Ah the classic trio - I love the guests but the original group is the best. Everyone was grand today, loved the episode, can't wait for the episodes during the RWC.

There we go! The three amigos all playing off of each other and just a great, great hour. Could have been two hours and would have wanted more. Rugger chat and stories are what we want and this was what we got. 1,000,000 times improvement on last weeks pish. Alex I had a shitty day too, and this has me going to bed amused and satisfied! Thanks guy! #spreadsheetsaysno

Hask’s manscaping story is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

First time I've watched this show. I really enjoyed it.

As an Irishman I dont disagree with Tinds assesment of Irelands chances however I find it interesting him criticising Ireland and wales being boring when the 2003 England side won games being as negative and boring as the archers. Yes it won games and a world cup but it was seasons of breakdown dominance/jonnys boot.

AP and JH class as per usual. Tindall you are a knob!!!!

Ha ha, 'dressed up as a Dinosaur', that's Godzilla Hask!

Tins deffo the heavy breather - also looks remarkably like Wayne Rooney

Catch this every times its on but this was up there with Marler episodes 😂😂

"Wales, the second most boring team in the world", spot on

Most excellent, what a laugh

Hask has truly ran away with this podcast amazing stuff! Love the manscaping legacy he started.

Ask a question about England team or players or food n answer always turns to haskells experience

My God!! Haskell can talk!

Great episode, but blimey Alex - how long did you tease Mike with that 1/10th of a pint of guiness?? :)

Can't beat the three musketeers... Great shift boys. Looking forward to the WC etc, be good to get some southern hemisphere boys on, but not at the expense of the three locals, just as an extra guest.

Brilliant fun.

Just imagining Hask and the others setting foot in Llanelli and the look on their faces😭😂 that’d be one hell of a wake up call😂 #WestIsBest🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Hask is GREAT VALUE

the more editing there is the funnier the show.

Nearly caught you there Alex. Buffalo 😂

Are last weekend's games mentioned?

Hahahahah even though we're clearly not Number 1 in the world its defo annoying Tindall that we are

That is a decent South African accent from Hask

Whilst it’s nice for Genge to give his shirt away, you’d have to doubt the sincerity of the action on account of his retweeting a hundred tweets about what a good bloke he was.

Dylan Hartley at #2 ??

The heavy breathing.

Money,resource wise and the IRB in its back pocket the Poms should of won every WCup ,6 Nations and every test series ever!Goes to show money can't buy or rule everything?Now the Poms latest saviour,Eddie Jones the fanatic analyst of NZ Rugby has concocted a 4yr plan to copy and assimilate their style and play and the need to have 5 dominant players in their positions to be successful in a WCup format a ploy he discovered NZ has always used to a higher degree of success? In saying that,is it enough for the Poms to beat NZ? I think the Poms need to worry about the Boks in the semi-final instead of looking to forward ahead to NZ! Hask was born yesterday?

PROTEIN JUICE

God bless the boys I hope they do well 👍Ellis Genge is and absolute star help comes from the grass roots of our country not the privilege elite I hope he reaches the very best he can be !!

Spreadsheet says no 😂😂

Listening to James telling his stories, which I was enjoying, and you guys kept interrupting him. Guys that was annoying. He had some good stories, anyway hilarious guys keep up the good work.

Fuck me hask is snorting loudly

particularly flemmy sounds effects this week lol

St Anton !!!!!!

For once Haskell is the one breathing loudly

Fucking great show!!!!

YEESSSSSSS

Hask on whater ? hum ...

does Haskell ever shut up he just constantly talks about himself

You can't cheers water. It's wrong. Get anything but water. It's bad luck

What is Tindall for?

James Haskell's brain goes at a million miles an hour. Jesus. Enjoyable though.

Oh yeah totally glossed over why big Jim Hamilton was a sappy? I mean, listen to him and Goodey and he is a miserable git, but entertaining.

haskell was a dirty player as i seen many times in his games and overall english thought the had a god give right to to beat or insult other teams like ireland till ireland put them in their places in 2007 ire 43 ,eng 12

Great show, terrible editing
