    Oct 22 2026
    The 2025/26 season is well underway and ahead of Prem Rugby's Derby Weekend, reporters Dan Cole and Robbie Owen from Squidge Rugby assess how England's brightest prospects are shaping up.

  • Has The Champions Cup Exposed English Rugby?

    Has The Champions Cup Exposed English Rugby?
    Oct 19 2026
    The Investec Champions Cup is BACK! Dan Cole and Steven Kitshoff have peeled themselves from their sofas to talk about all the action... With the URC and Top 14 teams dominating, what does this say about the state of English club rugby? And could it affect the national team? That said, on Friday night under the lights at Kingsholm, Gloucester stood firm against the Galacticos of Bordeaux; whilst their West Country rivals Exeter came within a whisker of an historic result in Toulouse. Meanwhile, with the Bulls and Stormers securing emphatic wins, is this a sign that South African teams are taking the competition seriously? 🚘 Book your Test Drive in the new JAECOO 8 at www.jaecoo.co.uk 🏉 Can you pick a better team than Dan & Kitsie for the next round?

Literally laughing to myself whilst driving to work. Asokute blast. The lads make it feel like you're sat in a pub with them having a yarn over a pint. Will definitely listen regularly. Hear about it from Joe Marler's podcast and I'll be bouncing between the two.

Not sure if you check reviews on Audible, but if so lads, my two kids and I would love some garage England merch 😅. They love going to see Sale Sharks (don't hold that against us, we're Northern!). 😉 I'll be in touch on Instagram 😁

Laugh out loud fun!
