Wrong Side of the Ruck

by WrongSideoftheRuck

Wrong Side of the Ruck is a rugby podcast made by a pair of friends who love the game and love arguing about it even more. 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.
